“Best car wash in San Francisco 2022”

What our clients are saying
“Ethan does wonders with cars. He has transformed my 10-year-old Scion xD into ‘when I first bought it new’ status. Really, I can’t believe what magic Ethan performs to get the cars he washes and details to look like they do after he’s done. If you want a low-cost, amazingly high-quality car wash and/or car detail while supporting our youth, you really should sign up with Ethan. I can say with complete confidence you will not be disappointed. Centrally located in the Richmond District comfy chairs are provided to sit in while you wait. And add to all this Ethan is a pleasure to deal with. I fully expect to be reading your own 5-Star review of Ethan’s Car Wash very soon.”
“I was there yesterday. Comfortable set up with a 2 seat camping chair for me to wait while the detailing took place (about one hour). I read my backed up NY Times and looked up occasionally to see Ethan with a small brush cleaning the nooks and crannies of the car interior. His shop vac even found the two errant french fries I told him I had dropped between the center console and driver’s seat that I had been unable to fish out. I have had two car washes as well. Very hardworking teenager!”
“Getting my car washed now! 30 minutes car spa! Lol. After Yosemite, Ranch, and Napa, my car needs this wash! Ethan is cleaning off all the bugs from the back side of my rear view mirrors with solution! This does not happen at my other car wash. He’s muscling in on the bugs and break dust for sure! Ain’t no wimpy car wash 🧼 💪🏻”
“Great job! Such a pleasant young man;-)”
“He did a great job on my very dirty car. I highly recommend him!”
“Thank you so much for doing such a great job! Worth every penny 😍”
“Fantastic wash/wax. Your son did an awesome job! The best ever!”
“Thanks Ethan. Great job.”
“Really appreciate your service and hustle.”
“A strong yes, Ethan muscles into the cleaning getting the bugs off the car and the breakfast and grime off the wheels... that in addition to all the cleaning solutions he’s using along with his trusty pressure washer! Waiting in the car was easy-peasey drive up, park, blinkers on.... and he’s doing this in the cold today! Best wash this side of the Mississippi! But probably best wash that side of Mississippi too!
15 minutes in and he’s still throwing cleaning solution on the car and now scrubbing all the from off the body panels and windows and now the roof! Yes getting my sunroof cleaned! I’ve got to check this “shop” out for the detailing next time! Need a detailing and wax to bring the shine back to the paint I think.”
“Best money spent! Ethan is diligent and a hard worker and deserves every dollar we give him... He detailed our large Tahoe and cleaned it with perfect care. Go to Ethan! Do not spend money on an ok car wash in town.”
“Ethan is great at what he does! Hard working young man with great attention to detail. Spots are hard to come by considering he’s a neighborhood favorite! Great price and great work!”
“Car looks great. Y’all are awesome. Thanks so much!”
“Thank you very much for the great job detailing my car interior. It was a mess and it now looks great. I will definitely use you again down the road if you keep offering this great service!”

My story
After the wildfires of September 2020, I saw cars driving all over San Francisco covered in ash. It immediately hit me: there needs to be an inexpensive hand washing service that people can use to get their car clean.
So, I borrowed my parent's pressure washer, got some additional parts, and immediately set up shop cleaning off cars in my neighborhood.
I'm a high school student, so I only run the car wash from time to time. To get notified of future cleanings, email me at ethan.sargent@gmail.com.
