Auto Pride is a great place to shop and relax while you get your car washed by a quick crew right on El Camino in San Carlos. The cute gift shop helps you pick up small gift items, cards while waiting. Reasonably priced car wash, too.,
5As long as you arrive in off-peak hours or avoid weekends you get in and out quickley and they seem to do a better job when not rushed. Generally they do a good job but always neglect to get the top of the windows clean unless you remind them. I love the gift shop-very entertaining while you shop!!

I've driven from Pacifica to go to this place for a good car wash several times. I'm usually very satisfied with the work they do, so I don't mind dropping $20-$40 (depending on how spending I'm feeling) for a good wash. They can get fairly busy, particularly on Saturday mornings with nice weather, but they have plenty of places to sit outside, their little convenience store inside has snacks and drinks, and lots of neat little gifty things to browse (particularly when you want to take advantage of the air conditioning they keep going strong in there!)
Only once was I a little disappointed -- the missed wiping down my mirrors, and they got a bit streaky, and sometimes they miss bits of brake dust in the wheel rims. But overall, they do a great job fairly quickly.
PROS: Usually thorough work, inside and out
CONS: Can get very backed up
