About Jack's Car Wash
Jack's Self Serve Car Wash carries a legacy that began in 1973, when it first opened its doors to the Huntington Beach community as EZ Car Wash. The original vision was simple: make car care quick, affordable, and accessible for everyone. Customers could soap, brush, rinse, and go—all in just a few minutes and for a few dollars.
As the demand for better equipment and a more refined experience grew, EZ Car Wash evolved. In 2014, it was upgraded and renamed U Wash Car Wash, offering improved water pressure, better soap delivery systems, and a cleaner, more reliable washing experience. This remodel helped usher in a new era of self-serve convenience for car enthusiasts and everyday drivers alike.
Now, in honor of the original founder Jack, the facility has once again been transformed—reborn as Jack's Self Serve Car Wash. With a completely modernized layout, the car wash now features high-walled bays to reduce overspray and give each visitor a sense of privacy while they clean.
The intuitive dial-based control system lets you switch between features like foam brush, high-pressure rinse, and spot-free rinse at your own pace—delivering an easy, effective clean every time.
What truly sets Jack's apart is the water quality. The car wash utilizes a soft water double reverse osmosis (RO) system, engineered for a much larger facility, to ensure the cleanest and purest water reaches your car.
The result? Fewer spots, a clearer finish, and less need for hand drying afterward. It’s this kind of extra detail that keeps long-time locals coming back.
Whether you're paying by card or coin, you’ll find the process effortless. Credit card acceptors take tap, slide, or phone payments. Once accepted, your bay activates and starts the timer—just $1 to start and $1 per minute after that.
Cash customers are equally welcome. Bays accept quarters and dollar coins, and change machines on site dispense dollar coins for convenience.
You can vacuum your vehicle, grab cleaning products from the vending area, rinse out towels at the sinks, and enjoy the sunshine while finishing the job.
Jack's Car Wash isn't just about clean cars—it's about maintaining a piece of Huntington Beach history. From the early days of EZ Car Wash to today, the mission remains the same: keep things simple, affordable, and high-quality for every customer.
