Got the ultra luxury package, was anything but. Seems like the car got a light wipe down as someone jogged past it. Would have been better off going through a gas station car wash with the windows down. Every single surface is still dirty.

Ive been coming here regularly for a few years, and Ive noticed an overall drop in quality. More recently, since they underwent some reconstruction and rebranded as Luxury rather than Hand wash, its gotten worse.I just tried the luxury package, which was $35, and look at the results (pics included). They did a very shoddy job, and I could see how fast they churned through washing my car; they werent even busy! I could tell that they werent taking time like they did in the past, and the results show. I usually got their basic hand wash for $22, and it always turned out better than this. Moreover, I believe I was supposed to get $5 off for the luxury package as a part of their promotion, but I didnt!This is the last straw for me. I will not be returning to this checkered flag in the future.

They take a good care of to do the hand car wash. It is usually very busy but the service is quick. Once you are inside the wash it comes up pretty quick and very clean. I have any ask them to redo some spot theres no hesitation and they will do that. And also one of the great things is to give you rain check if it rains the next day you have to in 4 hours to return the car and wash it again which is

Dont get the Ultra Luxury its a waste of money, the car still has dirt and dust, Windows not cleaned. They didnt wipe the interior as they said they would. The car was Done in less than 10 minutes 😐. Will not go there again and will file a charge back with my cc

Just got the car from the ultra luxury wash and I am very disappointed. The car is still dirty, dusty inside and I didn’t get the service I paid for. Waste of money!!!!

Been my go to spot for almost two years. 5 star establishment and service. Recently changed to no longer doing extra services so you cant get your mats washed and have to get the express hand wax ($75) to get the interior and exterior dressing. Really hope they bring the custom services back one day... Hate to look elsewhere for someone who will do the mats, dont mind paying the extra money. Typical luxury wash, dressings (tire, exterior, interior), and mats for me was about $90 before tip. But their base and great wash is only $24. Very good at what they do most days, but overall would not recommend for a thoroughly detailed job.

This car wash used to be great, one of the few hand washes left in town.Since this car wash has been converted and is no longer a hand wash, instead it goes through a machine the quality has gone down significantly.It is also unnerving that they charge the same prices as they did when it was a hand wash!Today, they are running a promotion for $4 off- however this is ONLY available for their lowest level of car wash. How does that make sense ?Its evident traffic has also slowed at this business. Can’t believe a business owner would make these decisions… unfortunately many of my neighbors also have plans to find a new car wash in Irvine.

This is my fifth time and I am really disappointed. I had luxury coupon but they didnt even washed the car well, not to mention skipping water wax part. Water marks, hand marks, and dirty spots all over. Did not vacuum the hatch back trunk. Did not give the scented mini squares and you have to check everything and ask for it. I think no matter what kind of service that you choose, they will just wash it and skip the rest because there is nobody to manage them. I will not go there again.

One day I happened to be in the Irvine area and decided to get a car wash. I googled one nearby and Checkered Flag Hand Carwash popped up. This place was in the parking lot of a small business center. Wasnt expecting that but ok...fine. The entrance of the carwash was right by the entrance to get into the business center so there was a bit of a congestion but nothing too terrible.The line moved quickly. This was my first time here and I paid for the $29.99 car wash. The guy vacuumed my car, washed it (they used a huge bucket filled with soapy water for all of the cars) and drove it to a parking spot to finish up. I went inside a cute little gift store to pay, where the staff was helpful and friendly. It didnt take long for them to finish with my car, which was great!They did a good job on the outside other than the fact that there was still a lot of brake dust and dirt on my rims. When i checked inside the car, there was some dust on my dashboard (guess he missed some spots). I thanked him, tipped him, got in my car and left. If i am ever in Irvine and in need of a carwash, i will not be coming here.

Fast but for $29 you dont get much of an interior wipe down. They also dont offer armor all inside, its all quick wash now.Not a good value.
