I consider myself a car wash snob. My very first official job was at a car wash and I'm super anal about attention to detail. I've tried just about every car wash on the San Diego coast, even this one, a few times... I was just in the area and decided to give them a shot at my new ride. They didn't do quite as well as I had hoped, forgot to armor all the interior and had to remind them to do so (this happens at a lot of car washes). Other than that they were pretty thorough and I was satisfied. I wasn't stoked, I won't run back to them, but I will probably use them again when I don't have time to detail my rides on my own. They are on the pricey side...

It shouldn't be surprising that given the location, this car wash is a bit more expensive than others. I find myself using them because it's near my daughter's school and basically everything else I do in the area. They are quick in the mornings. I don't think I wait for more than 20 minutes for a thorough car wash, tire detail and all that. I think it's the gold package. Otherwise I go to a car wash on Turquiose which is significantly less expensive. I just can't be bothered to head to the other side of town sometimes.

They also have the standard knick knack store on the inside. You can buy yourself a soda and sit outside while you wait. I also noticed that they did a particularly good job on my rims last time. They were disgusting prior.

So all in all I would recommend it if you don't mind the price.

I have my first new car & this place regularly has Lambos, Massarittis, Bentleys in there, so I checked them out. They usually do a great job, but it's a bit hectic with the weird weather. If they missed something, they have always fixed it if I asked. I got a 10 wash package & saved. The employees are nice & have a water dish for my dog. You can walk up to the new Rubios for lunch (pass on Wahoos) or get a coffee & chair massage like my girlfriend does.

I've been a customer at Pearl Car Wash for five years now, and after this last visit, I have to say I'm really impressed. I had always gone to Pearl for details and washes, but about a month ago I received a quote for fixing my front bumper that was dented and needed repainting. I was unaware that they did auto body work, so I decided after seeing the reasonable price, that I would give it a go, I figured if there auto body work was anything like their detailing services it would come out great. I left my car for a total of three days, and the work came out perfect. I would definitely recommend this place not only for their wash and detail work, but also auto body repairs!

best detailing and car washes!
