About Al's Auto Spa
Al's Auto Spa is one of the self-service car washes listed in Lake Forest, California. The business is registered at 20722 Lake Forest Dr, Lake Forest, CA 92630; use this page to check its hours, phone number and Google rating before you make the trip.
Car washes in the United States come in four main formats: the express tunnel, where you stay in the car while a conveyor pulls it through brushes or high-pressure jets; the full-service wash, where attendants vacuum and wipe down the interior after the tunnel; the self-service bay with a coin or card-operated pressure wand, foam brush and vacuums; and the hand wash, where a crew washes and dries the car by hand. Touchless tunnels skip the cloth brushes entirely and rely on chemicals and water pressure, which is gentler on paint but less effective on heavy grime. Most express chains sell an unlimited monthly plan, usually priced at two to three single washes, that is only worth it if you wash more than twice a month. Gas stations often bundle a discounted wash with a fill-up.
Hours are published for 7 days a week. On most of those days it is open Open 24 hours. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. You can reach Al's Auto Spa at (949) 407-8825; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions.
On Google it holds a rating of 4.3 out of 5 from 477 reviews, which is a strong result for a self-service car wash in Lake Forest and suggests consistent service.

I use this car wash because it's convenient and usually everything works. Today it was dirty with trash in the high-clearance bay plus the tire brush AND soak options had so much air in the lines, I lost several minutes while they spit and sputtered. The guy who works there is very unfriendly but I guess customer service ain't his job. He was taking trash cans out to the dumpster this morning with his large German shepherd mix dog off leash, walking by my truck (it's a large RAM truck so I have to dry it by the dumpster). Anyway, I walked around the back of my truck and I guess it surprised the dog, who took off running full speed at me and barking. Very threatening. That dog got so close to me I felt it's breath on my legs. Luckily I'm not afraid of dogs and just stood there acting friendly. He called the dog and it went back over to him, but a civilized person would at least have said "hey, sorry about that," or acknowledged me in some way. Nope, not that guy. I wish he was a happier human.

GREAT for vans. They have a separate dock for tall rigs. Stairs and a platform in there so you can hose the roof of the camper van. This particular bay is always less used, minimum waiting. Wash and soap my whole rig for about 10 bucks.

I would give this place negative stars if I could. The old guy that works there berated me for drying my truck in an empty truck wash bay, despite there being no customers waiting. He directed me to another area, then immediately created a massive cloud of oil-absorbent dust that blew into nearby businesses and the exact spot he told me to use. The lack of common sense and professionalism was astounding. I'll take my business elsewhere..

Wash your own car for just $7! One of the few self car wash places I have found in south Orange County. Always hopping on Saturday when I go but equipment is almost always working great and fun to wash your own car!

This self-service car wash is extremely popular with the locals, and for good reason! During the day, itβs always busy, with around three cars waiting for each bay, so be prepared for a bit of a wait if you visit during peak hours. The best time to go is late at night, and itβs a huge bonus that theyβre open 24 hours. While the wash is budget-friendly, Iβll admit the equipment looks a bit outdatedβeverything from the vacuums to the hoses. Overall, I do wish they had an air blower or something similar here for drying the car. That would make the experience even better. Paying around $7 for 10 minutes of wash time seems like a very reasonable deal. It's affordable and gives you enough time to clean your car. I usually don't rush too much, so I spend about $15 on a car wash. Additionally, you can press a button before the time runs out to add an extra minute for just $1.
