A family member is already a Em-Member, we want to add another car on, is it another $49.99 or so we pay the other fee?

Very convenient way to get a car wash in Kapolei. We usually come here when we are in the area. It's a great deal if you buy the 5 washes for a deal at Costco. The savings are definitely worth it. Friendly employees, efficient system, and plenty of vacuums.
Prime time is usually the weekends around 6-7pm. I'd avoid that time, otherwise it should be a fairly quick stop.

Great place to get the car washed and vacuumed for a fair price. Staff is very kind and provide you with a disposable cloth to dry the residual water and cleaning residue off the car when it comes out of the wash. Car comes out of the wash nice, clean, and shiny, and there's a parking area with shaded stalls where you can vacuum and dry your car, 10 minute self-imposed time limit as a courtesy to others.
Now, for a warning to others. If you have a car with a rear windshield wiper, make sure to request a safety bag for installation prior to entering the wash, otherwise you risk damage to the rear windshield wiper. Additionally, be sure to read the instructions prior to entering the car wash, and take the time to fold in mirrors, remove the antenna(if possible) and install the rear windshield wiper safety bag.
I have been through this car wash many times with no issue, however, on my last visit, my rear windshield wiper was damaged while in the car wash. It may have been a "one in a million" occurrence, and I do understand that the rules state that the car wash is not responsible for damages caused to items that are not properly secured, but I would hate to have others experience this as well, so make sure you properly protect the items that can be damaged in the wash.
As long as you understand that there is an inherent risk with the brushes possibly damaging the outside of the car(including shark fin antennas), it's a great car wash. Hopefully in the future, improvements can be made to the car wash system to prevent further damage to cars in the future.Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

Aloha, Jordan – Thank you for taking the time to write a thorough review. We are pleased that you have enjoyed our services, but I wanted to address the issue of your rear wiper blade. All our greeters have been advised and trained to offer a rear wiper sleeve to customers who have vehicles with a rear wiper blade. This helps prevent our mitter brushes from catching on the blade and causing damage. If you were not advised of the option for a wiper sleeve or provided one after advisement, please let us know the date and time of your visit so we can retrain our team if necessary. While we prefer our customers apply the wiper sleeve themselves, our team can assist if asked. Thank you again for taking the time to bring this matter to our attention. If we failed to provide you the customer service level you have expected then please contact me to discuss this matter further. (808)-266-0899 – Daniel Matsamura, Operations Manager. Mahalo!

Big appreciation for the expansion of CarWash808 in Kapolei! This place never has a queue to vacuum my car after the wash and the high quality of service and value is worth every service.
Protip: going to Costco for a gift card has always been one of my favourite clutter-free gifts to give and receive to share support for local companies.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0Business owner information

Sep 2, 2022Previous reviewFirst time visitor here on West Side. As an admirer of the CarWash808 this is the place that helps my 2008 Civic still feel like she's brand new.
The facilities here are a lot more abundant in space as well as the amount of stalls and experience. No time is wasted waiting to self-vacuum my car after the wash.
Will be back 1000%! - Jan 31, 2024
I have an older vehicle and rather than get wet, sweaty, and dirty ( there's a time and a place ) washing your own car...why not let someone else do it for me.
In this case, let an automated car wash clean my automobile. I've been to Car Wash 808 Express in Kapolei on several occasions and have been satisfied with the quality, price, and convenience.
If you patronize during off-peak hours there isn't much of a wait. For $20 you get a fast wash, coating, and drying. Vacuum stations are complimentary and you can clean your interior.
They offer membership but I don't clean my car every month.Helpful 5Thanks 0Love this 4Oh no 0Business owner information

It's been my fourth time coming to this place . I only come whenever I ran out of time to wash my car . I like when is someone is waiting by the payment stand and also the when you enter to the car wash itself someone is telling you how to turn your wheels to make sure you see on the belt . The car wash was quick and easy maybe around 3 mins inside . I feel like it's nice to have those pretty bubble shampoo I feel it's not enough . The strong fans are very strong to dry the car . What I love the most is their free vacuum when you are done washing you can vacuum on your own space and throw trash . Love that it's own space in between other cars so much room to move around .

Who drives to Kapolei for a car wash when you live in Makiki?! Apparently, I do. Heard about this spot from my brother and he, absolutely loves it that, his a monthly subscriber to their car wash package so...here I am driving some miles just to experience "his" car wash.
I must say this place is clean and well-organized. I love that they have an area where you can go and wipe down your car after the wash and give it a good vacuum. The vacuum is free for use. They were pretty busy and it was about 11a when I went. Do I recommend this place? Absolutely!!! It's clean, it's fun with the lights and it's well worth the package deal or the daily price which is a little over $20. And, everyone gets the same type car wash cause you deserve it! Check them out!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0Business owner information

Aloha, Fita – Thank you for taking the time to not only drive from Makiki but also write this great review of CarWash808 Express in Kapolei! Our team goes to great lengths to keep our facilities clean and provide superior customer service so you can sit back and enjoy the wash. At CarWash808 Express we offer “Only the Best, Nothing Less.” While we agree that $20 is a great value, your brother knows the ultimate value of the monthly membership. At $49 (plus tax) you can wash as often as you like at your convenience. You may also use the complimentary vacuums after your wash and clean your vehicle’s interior while entertained by upbeat music. And you’re right – why would anyone be happy with a basic wash when we always provide the singular best wash you can get anywhere?! Thank you again for your review and we hope to see you again soon! Mahalo nui loa!

I just love the convenience of this location. Right off the freeway in Kapolei.
The drive thru has 3 entrances which merge into the car wash. Everything moves fairly smoothly and they provide a drying cloth as you enter. The wash itself is really nice. I like the Diamond wash and it does a great job. After the wash you can pull into one of the many drying/ vacuum bays. Vacuums for both sides of the car along with garbage containers to get rid of clutter. Music is piped through the outdoor speakers which is a nice touch. There's plenty of room between bays too which is great.
Awesome place to pamper your car. Great location. Fast friendly service.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0Business owner information

For a quick in and out wash this place is good. For a little over $20 you get to shift into neutral and lean back and enjoy the light show as stuff comes at your windshield. When you pay they hand you a small cloth to dry off your vehicle what's left as you drive out. Recommend you bring your own towel, especially for larger vehicles. There are plenty of vacuums to use after the wash. Unfortunately you have to go next door to the gas station to get air for your tires.

Aloha, Brian - Thank you for taking time to review CarWash808 Express in Kapolei. We are pleased that you were satisfied with the quality of the wash and the amenities provided. In most cases the complimentary blue towelette is suffice to wipe any excess water from your vehicle, but larger SUVs may need something more. In order to expedite most of our customers through the vacuum stalls we limit vacuum time to 10 minutes. Compressors would increase the amount of time customers need so it was necessary to locate them at Pau Hana Express for a nominal fee. Again, we appreciate your comments and hope to see you again soon. Mahalo!
