It's drive thru car wash . I hate washing my car I can never get the roof of my car unless I get a small ladder. Easiest way is go thru a car wash. I highly recommend to get the monthly membership. If you thru it an feel like it didn't wash well you can go back till your car is clean. But if you don't have the membership you can not do that . It's $29.99 a month to get the works it's worth it . I always take my car thru twice in one visit , it tends not to wash well the first round. Vacuum is included an their vacuum is pretty good. If you don't get the membership then I don't recommend this place it doesn't do it's job the first round . But if you get the membership then it's so worth it. Customer Service always on point everyone super nice.

Every time o go here there are brushes not working. You're a car wash, how hard is it to make sure it actually works every day? Today when I went there were 4 brushes not working. Waste of time and money!!

In drought conscious California you can get fined if you're caught washing your car out in your front yard and somebody decides that's a waste of water. And, let's be honest, who really has the time or energy to get out the buckets and sponges and brushes to do a thorough job on the outside of their car? And don't get me started on trying to use the vacuum cleaner I purchased to clean my home to try to effectively vacuum out my car.Instead, I do the smart thing: I pay $29.99 a month to get unlimited washes at any Cruz Thru Express location in Bakersfield. My monthly pass sticker on my windshield enables me to use a different lane than the people who pay for each individual wash. There is a sensor that scans my pass and keeps me moving faster than everybody who has to interact with the staff.I visited THIS Cruz Thru location with my mom in her Escalade. She paid for a single wash and we went through the car wash together, watching the rainbow colored soap foam bubble down her windshield.This Cruz Thru Express location, on the Southeast corner of Panama Lane & Wible Road, next to the Rite Aid, is very convenient to the 99 Freeway, which is where we headed right after the car wash. We didn't realize, till mom tried to merge into traffic, that the driver's side mirror had popped inward and was not allowing us to see the traffic. I don't know if this happens to a lot of cars at this location, or if it's because my mom has a big SUV, but you've been forewarned. Don't forget to check your mirrors before trying to drive out of the parking lot.

Nice location. Bigger than the other branches I have been to. Lots of vacuums available. I find it very convenient to go to any of the Cruz Thru Express locations. Car comes out clean most of the time. If it is not clean enough, then I just drive through again for another wash at no charge. Prices are reasonable. Although, they are not honoring the Yelp Check-in offer of $2 off. Other than that fact, I have zero complaints.

Monthly price is such a great deal: $30 for the Works and $40 for Lava which has waxing. They do a great job and staff is really nice... I love coming here.Rating 4 stars because I specifically paid extra to have my Lexus waxed today, but the machine didn't even lower itself enough to touch my car at all. Perhaps it's at a setting that fits taller cars? Hope they fix that! :)

Very Poor! I have gone to Cruz Thru Car Washes up and down the state and this may have to be the poorest! Elsewhere, I normally am given a detailing rag, wet cloths to clean my dash and interior, and a trash bag & air freshener, which I had to ask for here. To make matters worse, half the brushes weren't working and the whole system would shut down halfway through the wash. I can confidently say I will not be returning!

I was just offered the lava car wash for $14. I went with the basic wash for $11. As I was driving through the car wash - or cruising through the car wash - I noticed that none of the lava photo equipment was even in place. Question; why would they offer the lava car wash for $14? Also it used to be that you had several attendance kind of scrubbing your car as it was initially going into the process. That's gone. Also, it used to be that all of the spinning turbines that clean your vehicle were cloth. Now they are plastic, slapping your car, incrrasing the potential of scratching, as dirt will inevitably adhere to the plastic strings. They are charging the same amount of money, but giving you a third of what they used to provide in service!!!!And absolute joke. Now I know why the change of ownership is happening throughout Bakersfield.

Meh. I think this may be the worst Cruz Thru. It's way too small. Take a few minutes and drive to the bigger ones. The line was huge! Huge! And the line was really tight so I felt like I was gonna get trapped surrounded by other cars. Again, go to a different one.

With the new owners service has gone way down hill. Nobody even bothers to smile anymore. One person for the brushes so one side gets bug brushed and the other doesn't. No more cameras for the kids. No more lava tunnels. Etc. etc.
