Speedy Wash, Lancaster CA

80 percent of machines were out of order. Nobody cleaning or ask any questions. It went downhill.

Revision 12/2023
The proprietor passed away. Quite a few washing machines are out of order and have not been repaired for well over a year now! Prices have gone up exponentially, and this place is no longer affordable!

There's once was nothing negative to say about Speedy Wash. Prices have gone upwards beyond reason. Too many machines are out of order, including the wall machine for putting money on one's card.

The proprietor lives on the premises and is usually present and very helpful.
This laundromat uses a 'pay card' system, similar to an ATM. The card costs customers $2 and must be obtained from the Mgr/Proprietor. The 'pay card system' is an ATM like system, and customers put single Dollar Bills, (dollars only), no 5,10s, or 20s accepted. By using the 'pay card', there are no machines that take quarters. Which is actually a good thing. Just remember to bring 1 dollar bills when you need to reload your card.

That being said, this laundromat is always clean and kept that way. There is no Public Restroom, and no snack or soda/drink machines either.

There are 4 different sizes of Washing Machines, and dryers for small loads to huge loads. The prices seem a bit higher than quarter washing and drying machines you will see elsewhere. I'm actually spending less by using this laundromat than the one in my apartment complex.

The water used in these machines is blazing hot! The dryers are very hot too. The amount of time necessary to do one's laundry is cut in half by using these high-powered machines. They may appear slightly costlier, but it doesn't cost much to dry, and drying time is very minimal here.

Some of the other many laundromats I've used have washing machines that don't have sufficient hot water. Many other laundromats have dryers that don't even get hot, never the case here.

Sure, there are, at times, quite a few machines here that are "out of order. " Thankfully, this doesn't detract from my washing/drying experience because there are plenty of other available machines.

The things that could be done to improve this business are:
#1- Open a public restroom. I don't blame the management here for not having a public restroom due to the vandalism and disrespectful filthiness I see in other businesses. I wouldn't want to clean up after half of the public either! No harm, no foul with the restroom situation.
#2- Put in a couple of snack and drink machines at Affordable Prices, please!
#3- ensure customers DO NOT USE THE DISABLED PARKING SPOT, WHEN THEY ARE NOT DISABLED!
#4- There is a washing station for hands. There is always plenty of hand-soap, but not always available Paper Towels, to wipe hands after washing. I guess the mentality here is- you use your own laundry to dry your hands? It's not a problem here on this one either, as I always travel with paper towels, but not everyone does as much.

Half the dryers don't work or washers and at times there are some bums hanging in the bathroom for hours doing who knows what

Are we just lazy to get things fixed up in here or does it cost u alot or does this businesses not make u enough? Same one being down for how long?

I use to like washing at this place. About two weeks ago prices went up drastically. Dryers used to be 25 cents for 8 minutes. Now it’s 69 cents for 8 minute. I would b able to wash with less then $20 for my whole family now I spent over $30

This place is not good for wash anymore, after they raise the prices on the DRYER, use to be 25 cent for 12 or 14 minutes, and 55 cent, but now they raise it to 99 cent for 12 minutes and for wash $225 or $275, are now $375 and $475 and $575 and $775 are now $10 or $11 to wash. Don't wash there.

Great place to wash with a variety of washers for different loads. I had a pretty heavy load being that I have a big family but I was still able to get in and out with all my clothes washed and dried within a reasonable amount of time. Also it helps that it's kind of out the way so you don't have to worry too much about crowds.

It's an okay place to wash, but the washing machines are always broken, and you get a lot of homeless walking around.
