I used to have my cars washed here all the time, but I've noticed a considerable drop off in service, i.e., the car isn't clean. In the last year, I've had to take a rag and finis...

Amazing what a nice job he did 5/2/2011

They do glass repair on the spot. I found this a bit odd initially, but when the guy told me he could clean up a small crack in my windshield and there was no insurance deductible to pay, I thought...what the heck. It was amazing what a nice job he did more

Fast & Convenient 5/1/2011

It is fast and convenient. more

One of the more thorough wash and vacuumings my car has had! 4/4/2011

Went to tower for the first time yesterday and was wary due to the hot and cold reviews. However, I had a great experience. This was one of the more thorough wash and vacuumings my car has had. I've taken my car to similar car washes in Washington DC and Dublin, CA and this is up there with the best. I got the $21 wash which is the cheapest so I had low expectations. However, I got complete service including vacuuming with good attention to detail in the hard-to-get cupholder areas. They also scraped off the wax writing I had on my front windshield from getting my car towed without my having to ask. It was also nice to get the 25 cents per gallon off gas which I took advantage of. Another plus of why I gave Tower 5 stars is that the guy who takes the orders noticed a scrape on my car which I had gotten the day before (very upsetting) and offered to have one of the guys buff it out for free. I told him I had to be somewhere and he made sure it got done in 5 minutes and refused my money when I tried to tip him $10. Disclaimer, I know this guy gave me this because he thought I was cute, but hey, I'll take it! Will be going back to Tower and hopefully they keep up the good work! more

My car looked great when it was done 3/20/2011

Went here for the first time and Armand recommended a new service called the super express detail interior. I don't know the difference between this and a full interior, however, my car looked great when it was done. I enjoyed chatting with the cafe workers as she made my crepe. I will definitely come back. more

Very convenient when you are heading downtown 3/16/2011

I like the fact that there is a window where you can see the car when it is in the wash. Very convenient when I head downtown as it is right off the freeway. more

Tower Hand Car Wash did a great job 3/7/2011

I went here being a little hesitant due to the mixed reviews but was pleased. I agree with the reviewer that said you get what you pay for - if you're paying for the cheapest wash, you can't expect a full detail. I got the Supreme Express Interior detail for $44.95 (don't think its on the website) and think they did a great job. It includes an exterior wash and an interior detail. The interior detail included vaccuming, rinsing/wiping down my rubber floor matts, wiping down the dash and center console, cleaning the vents, wiping down the door panels, inside the handles and cup holders, cleaning the windows, etc. and it looks great for what I paid given this was a 25 min job! I did a little walk around before I left and he was happy to touch up anything so if there's something they missed, politely point it out and they'll fix it. more

Price was unbeatable 3/6/2011

My car is so squeaky clean! Very happy with the job, and with the groupon the price was unbeatable! Nice job Tower Car Wash! more

Wish all places were like Tower Car Wash 3/2/2011

Ok, I finally found a place worth a rave review! I got a promo from social living and used it to upgrade to their full hand wax. Awesome! Tipping the guys midway through is an old trick, an extra $5 to the two guys pointing out a few areas, gets some extra love. They even waxed my Chrome rims! If only all places were like this. The gas discount is another perk. 25 cents per gallon! Time for a fill up. more

Car will come out gleaming 2/28/2011

Pay $25 and your car will come out gleaming. In the end, it costs me as much as going to budget alternatives because I don't need to wash so often. I also tried their $50 "express wax" package, but, frankly, after waiting 45 minutes I could not tell the difference from their basic service. more

These folks can definitely help you out 1/17/2011

What do you do when you indulge a little too much in the post-dinner absinthe and it ends up on the car door? Go to this place. Sure it took an eternity to clean and there were some window smudges. We'll let that pass, seeing as they probably spent a good 45 minutes blasting my leftovers out from under the seat. If you have an apocalyptic car situation, these folks can definitely help you out. more

They do a good clean job at a good price 1/13/2011

They do a good clean job at a good price. I go there when I'm lazy enough to sit around and watch someone clean my car. more

Been going here for years 1/11/2011

Been going here for years..Awesome service..Just got the complete detail & I was very impressed with the attention to the small items like my vents & center console area. I feel bad looking at these other reviews; $25 and you want the inside cleaned?? I paid $125 and it looks great; u get what u pay for.Cheer & happy new year! more

Get it all new 1/9/2011

We went here first with a Town Hog coupon and were very happy with the wash. Then recently I had a run in with a pole in the Trader Joe's parking lot and scratched up my car's left side. However, Tower was able to get it all new again and for only $49 to wash, detail, wax, get out the scratches, etc. more

EXTRAORDINARY CUSTOMER SERVICE 1/4/2011

I felt the need to write and express my gratitude for your assistance in resolving the issue of a damaged badge on my truck. You went over and beyond what I expected, and I'm glad the matter was resolved. Many businesses would be wise to follow your example in "EXTRAORDINARY CUSTOMER SERVICE". more

Great service - very thorough: 12/13/2010

These guys are very thorough - I am very please with every wash. They pay attention to the little details, and my car never seems sloppily handled (ie big streaks, left over suds, dirty carpets). I think the wash is 16.99? It's worth it. I've never had any detailing work done there, only vanilla car wash. more

Excellent detailing 11/16/2010

Excellent detailing: We had the $175 full pkg detailing done (our car had survived a few years in NYC and had a lot of that black Manhattan grit in its white finish) - it was like new! Last time we had it done it was $300+ in New York. Definitely worth it. more
