About Self Service Car Wash
Located at 1616 Aviation Blvd, Redondo Beach, CA 90278, Self Service Car Wash operates as a self-service car wash serving Redondo Beach in California. 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. Besides its main category, the business also describes itself as car wash, so it may cover more than the name suggests.
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 am–10 pm. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. The listed phone number is (310) 376-1396. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone.
With 4.0 out of 5 on Google from 258 reviews, it sits in the middle of the range for self-service car washes in Redondo Beach. Recent reviews are the best guide.
Redondo Beach is in California, on the West Coast, where the climate ranges from foggy coast to hot inland valleys, wildfire season can affect air quality in late summer, and traffic is the main thing to plan around. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Redondo Beach follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

Trying to vacuum your car? This place will give you a mystery time limit (not posted how long your purchase gets you) and spoiler alert once it shuts off you will be even more pissed at the stinginess of corporate America.

I've been going to this place for about 2 years. It was my little secret and I would return every Tuesday like clockwork. Recently, they raised the prices significantly which has removed a star from the score. What was previously $5 for 15 minutes is now $6 for 10. Disappointing for sure. On the bright side, the water pressure is still excellent. The "spot-free rinse" actually works, unlike other spots. And the vacuums are effective. $1 for 5 minutes. Still a decent deal. However, the price of a full service self-wash for me went up from $7 (15 min of water + 10 minute vacuum) to $13. Nearly double! A bummer, but I still go. Just not as regularly.

As other recent reviews state, no longer worth it. You have ruined the only good car wash in the area. I recommend the self wash at the corner of Prospect/Torrance Blvd; it accepts credit cards and has much better equipment. They raised the prices here, you used to get 15 min for $5, it is now $6 for 10 min. A 20% price increase for a 30% time DECREASE. Laughable and deceitful. $3 used to get you 6:30 and was enough for people who just wanted to rinse the car and dry it, without using the soap brush. But because of the price increase, it is no longer worth it to come here. As others mentioned, these machines are incredibly unreliable. They will consistently take money and not give you the time and there is no option to return the coins calling the phone number does not yield any results. They will never call you back. Like others I have been coming here over 10 years, but will never be coming back due to the price increase/time decrease. Equipment is typically dirty and often does not work . It would be significantly cheaper to do it in your own driveway. 0 out of 5 stars.

Just went to get a car wash today after a while and these prices are ridiculous!!! $6/10 minutes when it was $5/15 what a ripoff. I didn’t finish in time and it forces you to spend another $3 even though I just needed the extra minute. On top of that the coin machine jams. All the other comments are correct in saying this was the best deal in town but not anymore. Best go somewhere else. I had to go to the automated car wash and have them finish the wash cause I refuse to spend another dollar here. I left note demanding a refund for the unnecessary money I had to pay

Did a good job, couldn't find anywhere that took card so I believe cash only. Spot free did leave some spots on the areas I did not dry completely. Overall, great wash and excellently maintained facility. Was very pleased.
