                  Drive Through Our Car Wash Tunnel in Minutes

                  Our express car wash tunnel in Long Beach delivers a thorough clean in about three minutes. Pull up, choose your wash, and our team guides you onto the conveyor. Your vehicle moves through foam, light touch scrubbing, rinse, and drying stages, with bug removal in every package and Lava Bath, ceramic, and graphene protection in First Class. You never leave your seat.

                  Coastal air, road grime, and bird droppings wear down paint faster than most drivers expect. Regular trips through our tunnel remove them before they cause lasting damage, and an Unlimited Wash Club membership lets you come back as often as you like for one monthly price.

                  What Long Beach Drivers Say About Gateway Express

                  A row of black stars on a white background.

                  I've never had a good reason to review a car wash until I found Gateway Express... This place is by far the best! My vehicles come out very clean from the wash process and not much drying needed due to the high powered air blowers in the end. The parking slots are shaded and spacious which makes vacuuming, cleaning and drying easy even when side by side to other vehicles. The blow guns are a plus. THE GEM OF THIS PLACE IS THE STAFF. Alicia, Emma, Bryan, and Leila, are awsome. Always welcoming/helful and very friendly and personable since my first time here. Not shy to offer you microfiber towles and water as well! I love this place!

                  Exceptional, it actually washed my car and service is excellent.  They offer window sprays, towels to dry car and clean windows, cold deinking water, even candy! Worth every penny.  I grew up with member of the family working in car wash, so now days the car washes aren't at all what I call a car wash, so im always talking shit. But they left me happy and I didn't talk shit instead im coming back. And the staff are all super friendly and helpful. Gabriel helped me and explained what each wash included and was very friendly and convincing. Definitely coming back!

                  This was a great car wash. My car hasn't been this clean in a while. The water pressure on the wash is really good. The vacuums are very good also.  They order towels to dry the cars with, air freshener, dashboard cleaner AND window cleaner!! But the best thing is the customer service. The young ladies that helped me today. They were both amazing!!
