Drive Through Our Car Wash Tunnel in Minutes
Skip the bucket and hose — our express car wash tunnel in Riverside delivers a professional-quality clean in about 3 minutes. Just drive in, select your wash, and our automated system takes care of the rest, guiding your vehicle through foam application, gentle cleaning, premium Ceramic and Graphene wax for enhanced shine and protection, followed by a high-pressure rinse and a spot-free finish. No waiting, no hassle — drive out with a streak-free, glossy shine without ever leaving your seat.
Our tunnel technology is designed to clean effectively while protecting your paint, clear coat, and finish. Riverside's year-round sun, dust, and pollen take a toll on your vehicle faster than most drivers realize, and regular trips through our tunnel remove those contaminants before they cause lasting damage — protecting both your finish and your resale value.
Want to drive through as often as you'd like? Our Unlimited Wash Club membership gives you unlimited tunnel washes each month. Most members save after just two visits — it's the easiest way to keep your car clean for one low monthly charge.

What Riverside Drivers Say About Gateway Express
Great car wash. The staff is very friendly and the area is spacious, well maintained, and feels very safe. You get an air freshener and dashboard wet-wipe as well. After leaving, you have access to vacuums, towels, and window spray to do finish off in a self-service area. The staff are so kind and check in within this area too to make sure all your needs are met. They are awesome!
Tiffanie Van
Best car wash place in Riverside! The staff is very attentive. They give you a complementary wipe for your car's interior and an air freshener that smells great. Their restrooms are clean and they even offer you a free water bottle which helps with the heat. We signed up for their yearly plan, which was a one time payment, and can now get an many car washes as we want within the year. 10/10 would recommend!
