Located at 12170 SW 8th St, Miami, FL 33184, El Car Wash - FIU / West Miami operates as a car wash serving Miami in Florida. This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it.

Car washes in the United States come in four main formats: the express tunnel, where you stay in the car while a conveyor pulls it through brushes or high-pressure jets; the full-service wash, where attendants vacuum and wipe down the interior after the tunnel; the self-service bay with a coin or card-operated pressure wand, foam brush and vacuums; and the hand wash, where a crew washes and dries the car by hand. Touchless tunnels skip the cloth brushes entirely and rely on chemicals and water pressure, which is gentler on paint but less effective on heavy grime. Most express chains sell an unlimited monthly plan, usually priced at two to three single washes, that is only worth it if you wash more than twice a month. Gas stations often bundle a discounted wash with a fill-up.

The business lists hours on 7 days of the week. On most of those days it is open 6:30 am–9 pm. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm.

Hello, I am extremely disappointed with my recent experience at your car wash. During the wash, your equipment damaged and ripped off a part from the top of my vehicle. Instead of purchasing the regular $12 car wash, I decided to sign up for your one-month special offer so I could try the service. Unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing, and I am not satisfied with the service at all. More importantly, I am very concerned about the damage caused to my vehicle. I would like this matter to be reviewed as soon as possible, and I expect the car wash to take responsibility for the damage caused by its equipment. I would also like to cancel the monthly service and request a refund, as I do not wish to continue using the car wash after this experience. Please contact me as soon as possible so we can resolve this matter. Thank you.

I went to EL Car Wash because my car had a lot of bird droppings on the roof after I parked under a tree. As soon as I noticed them, I drove straight to the car wash. The line was very long, so I had to wait quite a while. Once I entered the wash, I felt rushed because the cars behind me kept moving forward, making the whole process feel stressful. I chose the basic $12 wash. Unfortunately, when I came out, I noticed that the front bumper hadn’t been cleaned at all. There was still a large area of white residue, and it seemed like the brushes couldn’t reach the very front of the car. Even worse, the bird droppings on the roof were still there. My car is white, so the remaining spots were very noticeable. Overall, I felt like the $12 wasn’t worth it. If the equipment isn’t adjusted to clean these areas more effectively, I probably won’t be coming back.

I had an excellent experience at this car wash. The staff was friendly, professional, and paid great attention to detail. My car looked spotless inside and out, and the service was completed quickly without compromising quality. The team went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for outstanding customer service and exceptional car care. Thank you, Orledo, for the great work! I will definitely be coming back.

I had a very disappointing and frustrating experience at this car wash. During my visit, their equipment caused damage to my vehicle and blew out two of my tires, leaving me completely stranded. What’s even worse is the lack of accountability. I immediately tried to resolve the issue on-site and requested to speak with a manager, but no manager ever came to assist me or follow up. I was left there with a disabled car and no support, solution, or sense of urgency from their staff. Situations like this can happen, but how a business responds makes all the differenceβ€”and in this case, the response was extremely unprofessional. I expected at the very least an acknowledgment of responsibility or an attempt to help resolve the situation. I would strongly caution others before using this location. Based on my experience, customer service and accountability are seriously lacking.

Please, I need someone contact me regarding this issue showing in the pictures in the carwash at the time to get in. The manager told me I have to call customer services. However, no one answer the call. I need that the carwash make responsible for my damage and support me financially to fix my car properly. Waiting for your answer. I call several times, being in the phone for more than 10 minutes. Nothing. I asked for the link of the video. They refuse to send it to me. I need assistant in this matter.
