To Our Valued Customers,
As you know, in recent years we have all been pressed by dramatic increases in prices.
In our case, our water, chemicals, and labor rates have all more than doubled since we opened almost 9 years ago, much of it in the last few years. Yet we have never raised prices on our tunnel washes. We know of no other business anywhere that has not made major, much less zero price increases in 9 years on their core business, and especially during the last few years of rampant inflation. In fact, the top wash of the nearest tunnel wash ($30) is now 76% higher than our top Platinum wash ($17), even though they neither offer hand prep nor do hand towel touch ups, both of which add significant labor cost, but allow us to offer far superior quality. We even offer towel touch up on our basic Silver wash.
Likewise, comparable monthly wash prices are almost double ours ($60 for the top wash versus $36 for our Platinum wash- 67% higher). Likewise, other car washes in Phoenix have also raised their prices and comparisons are well above ours. Out-of-town and out-of-state customers marvel at how cheap we are compared to what they pay at home for quality washes and details.
Knowing our customers have been under cost pressure too, we’ve held the line as long as we can, but we simply cannot continue to ignore basic economics and stay viable.
Therefore now, as the rate of general price inflation has begun to abate, we are starting to close the gaps, right now making a modest price increase of $3 on our tunnel washes, to $19.99 on the Platinum, $15.99 on the Gold, and $11.99 on the Silver, still well below quality washes elsewhere. In August we will also begin closing the gap on monthly pricing.
We appreciate your business and your support. Our team loves working hard to keep your car or truck looking new.

CLEANER QUICKER – Making Cars Look New Again
Bill Johnson felt like he’d taken a short cut to heaven. It was March, 1994, and he had just emerged from Oak Creek Canyon to be awed by red rock formations. So began his love affair with Sedona. On Debbie’s first visit, she fell in love too, and after renting a second home for years they ultimately moved here full time in 2011.

The Cleaner, Quicker Experience
By Timothy Denman 07/01/15
Traditionally car wash ownership is a lifelong pursuit. The industry is filled with stories of owners and operators that cut their teeth scrubbing fenders in their teenage years, working their way up through the ranks to eventually take the reins of their own wash. Times are certainly changing. The high cost of entry has forced many would-be owners to pursue alternate careers and opened the doors for investors that have made their marks in other fields to take a crack at car washing.
Bill and Debbie Johnson both had highly successful, decades-long careers in the corporate world before turning their attention to car washing. While not raised in car wash tunnels, the husband and wife ownership team are every bit as committed to their new careers as they were to their old, and bring a fresh, business first perspective to the industry.

What Our Customers Say
Meet some of our wonderful customers and hear what they say about our express wash and detailing services at our Sedona Cleaner Quicker Car Wash and Auto Detail Shop.
Louie Z., San Diego, CA
In my 39 years working for Ford Motor Company, I drove a minimum of 100 miles per day and had my car washed twice a week. After experience in all 50 states, I never received a more thorough inside and out cleaning of a vehicle than at Cleaner Quicker. Without a shadow of a doubt you have the finest car wash in the U.S.!Read More
Gary B., Boulder, Colorado
Being a car-guy since the ‘60’s, I have had the good fortune to have frequent car washes in all 50 states across our great country. Cleaner Quicker is The Best. Period!
Lonnie R., Los Angeles, CA
I pay a $100 at home for the likes of your $40 Platinum-Platinum. Great job! See you on our next visit to Sedona.
Gillian G., Connecticut
I drove my car cross country for 5 days from Connecticut to get here, and it was filthy, and these guys at Cleaner Quicker have done an amazing job of cleaning it inside and out. The car is actually better than it was when I also detailed it in Connecticut for $75 before coming out here, and the service here only cost me $40.Read More
Barbara B., Sedona, AZ
It’s a miracle!
Niccolle C., Tucson, Az
We are on the road between Tucson, Phoenix and Sedona quite a bit, and needless to say our black BMW X5 receives quite a hit from dirt to bugs to brake dust coated rims! So Cleaner Quicker is our place to get our car looking brand new! We usually choose the Platinum wash and Gold or Platinum detail which leaves the car shining. But recently we added the wheel detail, and the clay, buff and hand carnauba wax. WOW! Read More
Great service! Great new remodel! My car was immaculate and sparkling! And all this from a locally owned and run business! You can’t go wrong with Cleaner Quicker!
Lisa W., Sedona AZ
Anita M., Sedona AZ
When I pulled up to collect the car I truly did not recognize it. I couldn’t be happier! Bill and the team at Cleaner Quicker Car Wash positively transformed my car! My poor Subaru had been the subject of abuse this past year, including driving to Prescott four times weekly, sharing him with a teenage son and a dog, all the while living on a dirt road. Their team is professional, friendly, and thorough. (I still think they may have swapped out my car!)
Mystery of the Disappearing Dust
Michael N., Sedona, Az.
Truly amazing. I feel like my car has been reborn! My 1997 Toyota Camry’s exterior finishing looks like it is a 2016 model now. Living in Sedona and often driving on dusty roads, such as down to Red Rock Crossing, I gave up on trying to keep the car clean before Cleaner Quicker opened their car wash. Read More
Ivory, Sedona AZ
I have been taking my car here every two weeks for the last 5 months. The first time I went there, the owner, Debbie, greeted me with a big smile and made me feel very welcome. She went out of her way to ensure I got what I needed. The price was lower than what I used to pay in Phoenix. My wait was less than 15 minutes. That included a wash, inside cleaning, and vacuuming. I was surprised when the guy came in to tell me my car was ready. Read More
When they offered Unlimited Car Washes for a monthly fee, I went for it. It has paid for itself over and over. I have a nice car and I like to keep it looking good. Yesterday I went here and they were closed. I walked in to talk with staff and find out when they would be open again. It turns out that they were closed because it had been raining. It had stopped, so the owner opened up the car wash for me and they washed my car. I really appreciated that. Another good job.
Their waiting area is the best I have ever experienced. It is clean, and neat. That includes the restroom. They offer 42 flavors of coffee, hot chocolate and tea. It is free between 9-9:30 am. They also offer free popcorn. I appreciate that they have good magazines available. For tourists, there are vortex books, Sedona souvenirs, and even as a local I have found interesting items for sale there. The location could not be more convenient for me. I can stop by here on my way to work. Woohoo!
Sheri C., Sedona AZ
Based on what a fabulous job these guys did on my original wash, I decided to take my 94 jeep in for a full detail. Before this I was going to have it painted because the hood and top had so much sun damage. When I went to pick my jeep up I could see it shining from the street! See start to finish photos It now looks more like a classic/vintage car rather than an old beater. It no longer needs a paint job and it STILL shines over two months of rain and mud and sitting in the sun all day. Read More
Julie Z., Sedona AZ
I visited Cleaner Quicker because my SUV was filthy inside and out… I opted for Platinum, inside and out…When I lived in Dallas, TX, I paid at least $70 for a similar job. I got out of Cleaner Quicker paying only $50. I’m instantly happy.Read More
Maralea N., Flagstaff AZ
I have used the services of this car wash 4 times now. Twice for my personal car (may I add, I LOVE MY CAR) and twice for fleet cars that I maintain for my job. I took my personal car in not long after they opened – I drive a very red luxury car and I am always nervous to let others clean it because we’ve all heard horror stories of cleaning mishaps. Bill, at the front of the line assured me that the complete remodel of the car wash included the wash equipment – state of the art and brand new. Read More
I then had two fleet trucks (brand new Nissan Armadas – good sized SUVs) return to my business in really bad shape. The guys had to be out in the mud and it was everywhere! Under carriage, in the carpets, under and on the seats even — Cleaner Quicker got them both cleaned up and got the mud out of the interiors and the undercarriages!. These cars were gross! I really expected them to tell me they wouldn’t be able to do it. Then I really expected not to get my trucks back for at least 48 hours… they did it in about 5 hours, for two messed up trucks. Really impressive… my other vendors always take at least 24 hours for this kind of work and need 24 hours of lead time.
I will tell you that the condition of these two vehicles was REALLY BAD – and as a human being, I would NEVER take my personal car anywhere in the condition these two cars were in. As a business manager I did make the decision to pay to have these cleaned properly and locally rather than driving them from my Sedona office to my Flagstaff office or to Phoenix.
I saw other reviews here where the reviewers felt the pricing was high… I run cars for a living and have had to deal with car detailing services and car washes in Flagstaff, Sedona, Cottonwood, Denver, Golden, Colorado Springs and Phoenix… this wash is truly reasonably priced for retail washing… The one wash of the same type that used to be in Cottonwood was priced higher for the same services… This is NOT Sedona pricing. These owners have truly considered the value of the service they provide and priced it very reasonably.
I would always recommend this car wash. They are polite, quick (keep in mind it is a FULL SERVICE wash – if you want it all, which is GREAT, be prepared to wait for a minute longer. They wash, vacuum, clean off the bugs, interior if you want it, dry it and make it shiny!), they have coffee and snacks and you can sit inside or outside while you wait and there is usually someone else ahead of you to talk with.
Susanna H., Sedona AZ
I took my SUV into Cleaner Quicker for the second time the other day. This time it was not only dirty outside but had tons of dog hair and dirt inside from my two large pooches, something I dreaded trying to get out myself. They not only got it all out but the whole interior was pristine as was the exterior. While they worked away, I was comfortable eating free popcorn, drinking coffee, and catching up on emails. Read More
Joy M., Sedona, AZ
I can’t believe it. It’s gorgeous. All the swirls and scratches are gone and it’s like a mirror. It looks better than it did when I bought it. I’m really particular and this is amazing. I’m overjoyed!
Shirley P., Page, AZ
My Pontiac had been destroyed by sun and blowing sand. I heard about what you guys could do so I brought it down to see. I watched you do it, but I can’t believe it’s the same car. It’s like new. Amazing! You made me love my car again and saved me the cost of a new paint job and headlights, and did it for far less than I would have imagined. Then I brought my SUV down to restore its finish too. Same amazing results. So my son brought in his truck. Same again. Now I still drive down for a visit and refresh whenever I have time while visiting Flagstaff.
Sue L., Sedona AZ
I decided to sell our old Miata, which was pretty rough looking, the finish faded, and the soft top stained. So I had Cleaner Quicker renovate it before advertising it. I was amazed how good it looked when they finished. Before I had a chance to advertise it, I ran into a friend at the grocery store and mentioned that I had decided to sell it. She asked to see it, and upon seeing it immediately said “I want it” before even knowing the asking price, which she paid. They made the car look so new again that it just sold itself.
Jonathon E., Sedona, AZ
I just moved to Sedona from Santa Monica. I’ve been to hundreds of car wash and detailing spots,but this place is the best one I’ve ever been to. Bill (an owner) takes his time to get to know you, and walks you through the process of the car wash. Everyone that works there is really friendly and helpful. There is a receptionist in the front that is also really nice along with their dog, Turk. To top it off, , the prices are less than what I pay in California for comparable services. I refuse to take my Panamera anywhere else. I recommend this place to anyone! Especially if you have a high end vehicle.
Claire F., Sedona, Az
I get my cars done here about once a month and can’t say enough good things about the service and quality they provide. Just returned from a long road trip and brought the new Honda CRV to Quicker Cleaner, covered with dirt inside and out, including needing a shampoo job on the driver’s seat – yikes! In an hour and fifteen my car emerged immaculate and such a joy to drive…clean and perfect as a whistle! Smiling, helpful and cheerful, the staff are always attentive and ready with suggestions, and open to scrutiny of the final product. Read More
Victor M., Sedona AZ
I have a 2012 Chrysler 300 Special Edition, number 69 out of a small number made, and I am super particular with how I take care of it. I am amazed with the job that Cleaner Quicker car wash has done. They did an outstanding job on both the inside and the outside. It looks better now than it did when it came off the showroom floor. I highly recommend them to everyone.
Chris C., Sedona AZ
This place is terrific! I sell to car dealers so my van must always look at least as good as the new cars in their showroom. Cleaner Quicker Car Wash makes that a piece of cake. The Platinum combo hand and tunnel wash leaves it squeaky clean, and the clear coat, RainX, and Carnauba wax give it a beautiful sheen. Even rain and dirt were blowing off so I turned off the wipers on I17 and watched tiny beads of water streaming up and over the windshield leaving my vision clear. Very cool. I like the neoprene brushes because they clean well but are easy on the finish and wax since they don’t soak up the dirty water and scratch,Read More
I like the Flex-serve idea because I can pick what I need for the outside and inside separately. I get what I need and don’t pay for what I don’t need.
They have gotten steadily faster since I started coming here shortly after they opened. My last Silver vacuum-windows-dash was under 30 minutes for the large van and it was dirty, and a sedan probably would have been under 20.
The greeter now has a video monitor with a bunch of cameras that show what’s going on in all the work bays to help estimate how long your service might take. That’s still tough because the pictures themselves don’t identify the detail or how long it’s been worked on. They are working with their point of sale vendor on a system that will track each car through the entire process in real time to help them improve times as well as estimates for customers. Good idea- I like to know what to expect and whether to come back later if I need a lot done.
Yet any full-service operation can get slammed if a crowd comes in at once or if folks ahead of me want extra detail work done, so I try to come in early or late when it’s not too busy. But waiting is no hardship. I love the café. Would you believe they have a commercial Keurig machine that lets them offer more than 40 kinds of coffee, tea, and hot chocolate- the most I’ve ever seen anywhere! It’s always hot and fresh. Before 9 it’s free, so come in early if you like your morning brew. There are lots of other drinks, bakery stuff, ice cream, snacks and free popcorn so I’m happy sipping, munching, and using the WiFi. It’s like hanging out in a Starbucks. I’m almost disappointed when someone comes to get me and accompany me to my car to check it out. Once I actually asked the kid to just leave me the keys so I could finish my emails and coffee- which he did with a big smile.
That’s the other thing. They smile. They’re friendly and helpful. They’re really seem interested in your having a great day. In spite of all that, however, the best part for me is getting my dog “fix” with Turk, their white golden retriever. Every time I come in I’m his new best friend and he makes my day right then. Love it!
Cynthia S., Pasadena, CA
I came all the way from Pasadena, California, to get my car washed and detailed here at Cleaner Quicker. I love the job they do! My dog really leaves a lot of hair in my car as we travel a lot. The always make it look so beautiful and the price is awesome. Of course there is a little wait for such a challenge, but things so fabulous are worth waiting for. I do pity them for having to clean my car as I have waited a while so I could get it here for them to clean.
Lucy VD., Sedona,AZ
It’s absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much!
“Little Buck”., Sedona,AZ
It’s beautiful. Like new. The last time I had an outside-inside clean like this it cost us $200 and half a day; yours was just over $40 in an hour! You guys are terrific.
Kate F., Sedona, AZ
We had come to Cleaner Quicker for an excellent car wash a couple months ago. When my car ended up with tar on the paint job from some road work, I knew where to go. Cleaner Quicker got the tar off and made my car look like new with a clay, buff, and wax. I also had the seats done and a Platinum detail while it was in, and now feel it’s new on the inside too. They did all this for a great price with excellent customer service and attention to detail. I will be back.
Bruce T., Texas
Cleaner Quicker Car Wash is the honored recipient of my very first 5 Star rating! I visited Sedona for a week and, needing a car wash after a drive from Texas, spotted Cleaner Quicker Car Wash on 89A in Sedona. I have an annual vehicle wash contract back home in Texas and the service and care provided me in Texas doesn’t hold a candle to Cleaner Quicker’s! I can attest to the fact that my two-year-old van hasn’t looked as clean (inside & out) since the day I drove it off the dealer’s lot! I highly recommend Cleaner Quicker Car Wash!Read More
Emma B., Sedona AZ
Best my car has ever looked! My Land Rover had a classic case of Arizona pin stripes, and Cleaner Quicker Car Wash got all of them out. I barely recognize my car. Amazing service and as always, I left satisfied and happy.
Donna D., Sedona AZ
To Bill and the guys that worked on the black Acura, I want to convey my appreciation for an outstanding job and your efforts in detailing my car. In my opinion it was over the top. Thanks a million for such perfection!
James O., Cottonwood AZ DOB 7-2-1916
It doesn’t get any better than this! My truck looks so sharp my friends will think I stole it!
Dr. Barbara C., Sedona, Az.
They did a great job in record time. My Platinum Wash and Silver Detail was out in 15 minutes!
Dylan B., Cottonwood AZ
It was a mess when I bought it in. It looks sensational now. I got double what I expected in half the time and it only cost $25.
Linda C., Sedona AZ
I am so happy with the detail and paint restoration work that you did on my car. In fact, when one of my friends saw it she asked if I had had a new paint job! Thanks so much for great work and saving me so much money in having to repaint the entire car.
Mike S., Sedona, AZ
Jim S., Sedona, AZ

* They have a mascot named “Turk” a lovable golden retriever – A+
* Friendly staff – Riley and Jeremy are my go-to guys with any questions, backed up by friendly Owners Bill and Debbie. Kudos!! A+

Christy L., Sedona, AZ
What a gift to have a great car wash in town!! Quicker Cleaner Car Wash does an excellent job no matter what you need to have done…express wash for the quickie clean up or the full detail where you’re car comes out looking brand spanking new inside and out. The Staff is so friendly and helpful, and with Bill and Debra Johnson at the helm, this place runs like a well-oiled machine!! If for some reason you haven’t treated your car to an amazing wash….be sure to do it soon. You won’t be sorry!
Chalice M., Austin,TX
You did a terrific job, and for less than what I pay at home for this quality work.
Tony P., Austin,TX
I am retired from GM after 38.5 years in car manufacturing. I have lived in several states but nowhere have I found the level of dedication, attention to detail, and great customer service that I experienced at CLEANER QUICKER CAR WASH in Sedona, AZ. I was looking for a good car wash that would take care of my wife’s new BUICK ENCORE and found CLEANER QUICKER- they exceeded my own high standards! Owned and operated by Bill & Debbie Johnson- who love cars & love keeping them in great shape! The detail shop does work that far exceeds anything I could do myself even with my experience!! Stop by CLEANER QUICKER CAR WASH and you will be as pleased as I am!!!
Bob W. , Sedona, AZ
My car was coated with bugs after a trip, so I had the top wash at another car wash. It came out with all the bugs still on it and the finish still dull. So I went to Cleaner Quicker Car Wash and got their Platinum wash. NO MORE BUGS and my car SHINES LIKE NEW! How great it is to have such a terrific car wash here in Sedona!
Platinum/Platinum Express Wash and Detail, done within an hour, always 5 stars! The coffee and popcorn will keep you going throughout the day. 🙂

My car is never as clean as it is when I leave here! They are so wonderful and efficient. Thank you!

Your TIME is important to us!
Here is how we do our best to meet our customers’ high quality standards while using their time efficiently.
High quality doesn’t happen by accident and it doesn’t come for free. To meet our customers’ quality standards we must do details, not superficial “fly-bys”, and we strive to do them as quickly as possible. We start by breaking each of our Express Detail services into discrete tasks and determine the best techniques for accomplishing the task effectively and quickly. We also specify which tools or products are needed to do the best job, such as a pumice stone for dog hair, or which type and color of towel to use for the best result and to avoid contamination from other tasks. Then an aggressive target time is estimated for each task and refined based on actually doing the task repeatedly to see how experience will bring down times. Read more…
