About Jamboree Smog Free Car Wash
Jamboree Smog in Irvine (listed under Los Angeles) pairs California smog checks with a self-service car wash that midnight travelers two hours from home appreciate - well-lit, safe, constantly cleaned bays. It's the only self-serve wash in much of Orange County, per transplants from Burbank.
The token machines eat money occasionally and refunds are hard, and one rinse wand allegedly chipped paint - the smog side draws fewer complaints than the wash side. Rated 3.8 across 256 reviews.
Customer Reviews
Great prices, good car wash for self service. Loved that while we were there there were employees constantly cleaning any area as soon as clean cars left. Highly recommend!!!
It was midnight, our car was covered in and and we were 2 hours from home. We found this car wash open, well lit, safe looking parking lot. When we pulled in there were several cars there. The wash was $3 I think, and there was plenty of time to use each stage. This is a great place to wash and dry your car, even in the middle of the night.
It’s ok car wash. What surprised me though when I moved from Burbank to OC, that there is a literally only one self-car wash in the entire Orange County. Not quite sure why
By far the best self serve carwash in the area. The wash bags are always clean (other places I've gone have had tons of mud from people washing off-road vehicles). The machines always work as they should (have had no pressure, no product, or nothing at all come out when using the wash gun at other local places). The price is reasonable, $3 for 4 min and then every quarter adds 20sec. I usually use my card and will pay around 12 for 20min. If you use cash to get tokens you get a free vacuum token for every $5 exchanged for the car wash token. The only gripe I have is the vacuums are sometimes full and when in use they blow nasty air and it can kick up dust all over your clean car. It does get very busy also so I generally go at night after 8pm and never have to wait in line.
I’ve used tons of self service car washes in OC, especially Mission Viejo wash. Today I washed my Mazda and the regular rinse power wash blew a chunk of paint off my car. Not even sure how it’s possible on a 2016 car. It’s not like I have an old car. I work on cars and haven’t seen something like this. Not sure if the nozzle is sharp or it sprays at a weird angle. The paint wasn’t even lifting in that spot. Now I’m out $11 on a wash (didn’t even get to dry my car and it was $11) and have to buy a paint fix kit. Great... Edit: can’t really blame the car wash place since paint is funky on cars these days. So raised my rating to 3 stars. Still expensive for a self service spot and made me more upset under the circumstances…
This is a great self-service car wash. You can take your time and really focus on detailing your car, which I really appreciate. The machines accept credit cards or tokens, making it convenient for different payment preferences. The only downside is the limited space—there aren't enough bays, so the wait times can get pretty long, especially during busy hours. Overall, it's a solid option for anyone who enjoys doing a thorough car wash themselves, but be prepared for a possible wait.
First time customer. 1 paid bronze $10 with cash. The car wash was great. I stopped for vaccum. It was $2 and paid with google pay. On the way home, i was notified that they charged $10 for the vaccum. I did not go back to argue about it. Because, since i paid cash $10 for the car wash and if they insist that $10 google pay was for the car wash, i have no proof. I did not want to waste my time. I leraned lesson. Next time bring $2 in cash for vaccum, dont use credit card for vaccum.
Sometimes they’re good sometimes I pay for the vacuum and it takes my coins and doesn’t turn on. Wish they had tap for payment. I like that it’s shaded.
Machines keep eating tokens, and getting refunds is almost impossible. Every now and then the machines swallow my tokens. The worst part is that the manager is only available on certain days and at certain times, so it’s extremely hard to get your money back. A couple months ago, the wash station ate my tokens, I had to email and make dozens of phone calls just to finally get refunded. And just now, another vacuum machine ate my token again. God knows when I’ll ever get this one back. This is supposed to be a self-service car wash, but customers shouldn’t have to chase their own money like this. Very frustrating experience.
It was my favorite car wash, one of the reasons is because it accepts apple pay, but today i was washing my car when it suddenly stopped , i checked and i got charged 10 dollars (i know it is supposed to be the desposit) but i barely used it for one minute, i tried to use my card several times but it did not work so I looked for help at the door located at the establishment (i saw someone getting inside before) but they did not open the door! i had to leave with the car covered with soap and i got charged for it, i will never come back.
