Howard's Coin-Op Car Wash

12725 South Vermont Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90044

"Buck fifty for a soap brush cycle, then a buck fifty for a power rinse. Three-dollar car wash."

"They give you token’s that don’t work for there machines not worth the stop"

"Wash a car its important to condition car paint to keep it laying down flat on the metal"

"I frequently wash all of my cars here and refer this car wash to everyone that I know. That is until last monday when one of my best friends and I washed our cars there. Unfortunately a fuse had disabled my friends car in the vacuum area and the owner was more belligerent than patient about it. Even tho I (a mechanic) was doing everything I know how to in order to atleast get my friends car to a friendlier location so I can make the repair in peace."

"I use a lot of “dollar” wash faces facilities because I don’t like the drive thru car washes at the gas stations and usually don’t have time for a full wash at a hand wash location. Plus it’s usually cheaper overall. That being said, I’d consider myself rather well experienced in this field. This particular location was disappointing to say the least. For starters, the dispenser gives you tokens mixed with quarters. Why??? I used the soap option for the sprayer and I didn’t see a lick of suds anywhere. There also was no high pressure option either which is essential for these type of washers. That left me with only being able to use the brush to clean my car with soap. Well, if you know anything about these places, you know that you do NOT want to use that brush on your car if you like your paint. On top of that, the soap from the brush was minimal as well. Finally, I rinsed the car off (with no high pressure option as well), only to find that I had spots everywhere. Only benefit to this place is that one dollar gave me 3 minutes, but what’s the benefit of 3 minutes of nothing?? I don’t recommend this place at all. Needs major updates"
