Okay....so here is the scenario. My moms Toyota Pilot is used for all of her gardening needs. Therefore, she uses this suv to store hay, dirt, potted plants, equipment, fertilizer and did I mention...hay? Yes...LOTS OF HAY. Anyway - I had to borrow this vehicle to take to SF. There was NO WAY I was going to drive this smelly and dirty vehicle down there. I have to say that her vehicle is very fuel efficient (plug for Toyota). Anyway...I met the owner and upon my arrival - he was EXTREMELY nice and even let me park my vehicle within the chain while his crew went to lunch to ensure I got my vehicle in - so his team had enough time to clean. We chatted about my former role w/ EDD...and how employee taxes are high...etc.etc. Anyway - while my gfriend and I was at lunch...we returned to a VERY CLEAN vehicle. Now, the disclaimer given to me was how the staff may not be able to get between the cracks to get all of the hay...but I was not worried. I just needed it cleaned. To my surprise...their disclaimer was never needed. They did an EXCELLENT job. I was very surprised to the quality of work. Even as I was ready to acquire my car, the last employee still wanted to ensure the vehicle was to standard. I was very impressed. And that is not the all of the story. The cherry on the icing...of the desert to all of this - is how low the fee was. I was expecting to pay between $70 - $110 for this...and I wont quote the exact price to protect the business. However, I will say this. It cost less than the lunch my gfriend and I had. GO FIGURE!!! I regret that I did not take the time to do this review sooner...seeing how great they were. However, I am taking my moms vehicle to LA this weekend and of course...the vehicle is a mess again. So Cable Car Wash...here I come.

Do NOT go here. I was astonished by how poor the customer service was and how lazy the employees were. I took my car in and told the cashier I wanted the best car wash they had that would give me the most thorough clean. He told me I would get my tires waxed and the interior and exterior thoroughly cleaned. When they told me my car was done there were still several dirty spots on my window. I kindly asked them to please clean those spots before i left. The employee straight up told me "no" and that it was "too much work." Excuse me? I"m paying you to do this. If youre not here to work then what are you here to do? They also didnt even attempt to clean the back of my car and I later noticed even more spots they missed on the exterior, and my tires were never waxed like I was promised. 0/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND

I was pretty disappointed when I went to this car wash at noon on Saturday and was turned away so they could close 1 hour and 15 minutes early. Least they could have done is recommend a competitor that understands how business hours work instead of leaving me out in the wind needing a clean car by 2:00.

Cheap price for great work. There were 5 cars ahead of us and we still got our car done in 15 minutes. It was very dirty and covered in everything imaginable after a cross country trip from North Carolina to Davis and it looked brand new when it came out of the other end of the wash.

I really like this place. Like the guy that runs it. They do a good job, for a little more than it would cost me to do it at the self wash. Probably saves water? Outside and inside for $17-20. Take $$ for a tip. Walk let to the thrift shop while you wait.

Its hard to think of a Car Wash as inspiring (unless its the one from the movie of the same name; Great Song btw ) but Cable Car Wash is. They must employ 50 people. The car looks and smells great and the price is fair. A labor of love I think.

$7 car wash. 20 minute wait. I like the hand drying. I could not figure out if tipping was allowed. It would be nice if they had separate lines for people who want vacuuming and those who dont. Attendant was super nice.

They did a pretty good job with the outside, but the inside was still a little dirty, where I had to actually wipe down the dashboard, doors, and cupholder area. Probably wont go back there again.

Long wait and only a barely acceptable wash. Almost all the rubber around the windows were still marked by dirt and water. As well as places on the windshield and rear window.

The workers are professional. I have never had a problem having my car washed here. The windows are completely clean and the floor is vacuumed.

Matt Morales

Great customer service with good full service prices. The line back can back up so get there early.

14.95 for a full service cleaning, inside and out. Cant beat the price and their work is amazing.

Graham Ryland

Very reasonable price for the amount of elbow grease these guys put in!
