Thoroughly disappointed with this place. With the regular wash they will only wash the car (they missed alot of places) but will not touch the wheels. Which only serves to make a dirty wheel even worse after getting the brake dust and road grime wet and soapy. Now you have a runny mess. I wasnt expecting them to do anything extraordinary with the car or wheels, just clean it without all the bells and whistles. For me, as this was my first time here and after reading quite a few bad reviews,I figured Id see if any of it was true by seeing what they could do at the very basics. I see now that they are not there to earn a reputation that would ensure repeat and steady/profitable business. They are there for the money exclusively, not realizing they could have made much more had they only cared. I am not without a realistic approach to this thing, I would imagine the enthusiasm for the job would wain after awhile when all you do day in and day out is clean dirty cars outside in the elements. But I would think and do expect that after that repetitive act that you would develope a sense for how things should be cleaned and done well with minimal effort. They have the minimal effort aspect down, but failed to learn anything along the way, things that as I referenced before would have upd their productivity, enhanced their final product , increased customer satisfaction and thereby brought them a tightly little sum day in and day out. As it is now I sense they will continue to scrape by doing the very minimum until they damage a customers car, sending them running for the hills. Who knows......maybe it will be your car...fingers crossed? But they light at the end of the tunnel in that sinario is that that will leave that sight open to someone else coming in with higher standards and becoming mainstay in the community everyone flawks to for a quality car cleaning with care. Now for the sacrificial vehicle.............!

Im SUPER picky about my cars... I am talking OCD! I rarely take my car to a car wash out of fear of damage, or more commonly plain disappointment. Ive had a lot of bad experiences in the past and typically wash it myself. However, Mill Valley Express Hand Car Wash is one of the few exceptions. Ive been using Mill Valley Express Hand Car Wash for many years now and I highly recommend it. Its an impressive, state-of-the-art, operation that rivals any car wash. Its truly a touchless hand car wash and the best in Marin in my opinion. They have a variety of services to choose from. I usually go with The Deluxe which is one of their signature full car washes. If you want to go BIG, there is The Works which is their top-of-the-line car wash. They also offer a basic exterior wash, as well as an assortment of hand details to choose from. Over the years, Ive tried many of their services and have not been disappointed. Excellent - this is my favorite car wash!

If you pay $22-$26 for a car wash I expect to have my car returned clean. This car wash is blocks from my house and I regret giving them my money every time. Ive returned my car on several occasions to have them complete the job. Everything from my tires not being cleaned, my console not being wiped. Last time, I had some coffee that had spilled on the seat and when I wiped it down myself, the guy just said, "yeah, coffee can be messy". The Best Car Wash in Marin is in San Rafael at Spotless Car Wash on Bellam. Theyre cheaper ( $19) and much more thorough. My car is literally spotless every time and they appreciate the business. i guess "Express" literally means just that and SPOTLESS MEANS just that.

Came to the car wash today to get my jeep washed and I got a full service wash which means inside and out and when I got through the wash I get out and he guy says he wont wipe any of the dirt on the inside of the jeep he is like you have to pay for more I payed for full service a car wash is meant to wash car I get back and most of it is cleaned but considering how much dirt there was not well enough. Showed little effort on details very rushed.

Worst car wash Ive ever had in my life! For their hand device I would have gone to the gas station and got a better service. The employee said "its just a car" isnt it a car wash service? Isnt it your job to wash and dry the car? Never again! Id rather go to a gas station pay $7.00 and dry it myself. Left my car wet

They do a very good job and is very cheap! I would recommend the $80 mini deal, they wadh the whole outside and detail the inside, and do a great job!!! It takes an 1 - 1.5 hours so be ready to wait, but there is a whole shopping center right next to the car wash.

They do okay work. There is another wash just a few minutes away that does a better job for a similar price. Also this one can be hard to drive into depending on the local traffic. Its not in a super convenient spot.

Just got rear-ended in my brand new car at this carwash. They didnt space the cars enough upon entry into carwash
