Five Star Express Car Wash

For 5 bucks it’s an impressive clean. I hadn’t washed my car in about a year and the basic wash made it look pretty spiffy. The free vacuum use afterwards is the best part.

Avoid this place machines scratched up my vehicle and almost ripped back window off my explorer. When I asked staff manager Richard who after seeing incident wouldn’t give me his name or business card to find out my options .He then turned hostile when asked for owner info got in my face and started with the effe you homie like I was in some rival gang that kid has no place in management with his intimidation tactics awful customer service and machines will damage your car.

AVOID! Somewhat loyal customer to 5-​Star b/​c convenient for quick average wash. On ¹¹⁄₂₉ took both my wife’s car and mine for wash. Day after discovered horrid MECHANICAL SCRATCHES over hood and along side of car
Attempted to resolve with staff and management and of course they claimed it was not caused by 5-​Star.
So both cars have the same MECHANICAL SCRATCHES in the same location on the same day and management viewed the video and claimed «they saw nothing».
Pics tell all. Stand up and be honest 5-​Star and take responsibility for damaging my car.
I don’t write negative articles on Unilocal.This was the only time I would break that rule
Insurance now taking care of it.

I come here weekly, I get the $ 5 wash and it’s always great. The employees are friendly and helpful, the vacuums are powerful and do a better job of getting the grime and dog hair out of my carpets than any other car wash I’ve tried, be it a self-​service car wash or a professional wash.
They keep the grounds very clean and I always drive away happy.

I never thought I’d be leaving a comment about a semi self-​serving car wash however this place really is a bargain. I have a monthly membership and go there at least two times a week. Their silver package works best for me. It’s leaves my car with barely any water on it when I drive away. And I love the vacuum facilities because I get to vacuum my car the way I want to. Unlike traditional car washes this is a great way to get your car washed fast and the way you like.

I was looking for a quick wash for my car after having it shipped across the country and getting it back fairly filthy. I saw the reviews for a number of other places and hesitated to come to a car wash that was so inexpensive, but this place will do the trick when you’re in a pinch. You get to pick how much you want to put your car through (just a soap and water wash all the way to getting a wash, wax, and tire shine, done entirely by their automated wash). Even though the girl told me it was a soft cloth wash, I held my breath as I saw the brushes start inching towards my car. My car came out looking a lot better than it did going in, it wasn’t perfect but I got what I paid for. I’d definitely come back for quick washes and recommend this place to others.

Love this place! $ 5 wash and free vacuum bays. I don’t do car washes and have always driven to spray & drives because of the spot free rinse. Then my neighbor caught my eye because their car is always shiny clean. They told me where and I decided when; no regrets. I go once a month or so and love it. The spray & drive may only cost $ 3 in quarters but you have to move fast, spray-​soap-​brush-​rinse all by hand while adding quarters before time expires. So, if you’re short on time or energy, this well managed bath house is for you. Bring a microfiber towel or shammy for the vacuum bays after the wash, to wipe down wet areas if you’re not doing the freeway air dry.

I will definitely give this place five stars not because its name is ‘five star’! It’s cheap and really fast! I used to use those self-​service car wash places which also costed me 5 dollars! It also has free vacumme which is so sweet! The guys working there are also very nice, I really had a good experience today which was the first time I went there.
A little tip: Please bring a dry towler so you can clean your mirrors and the water drops left on the car when you do your vacumme.

I heard they were giving away free car washes this week so I ran over on my lunch. Pulled right up and was handed a dash board wipe, a mini trash bag and a towel. Drove right through which was quick and convenient. There were vacuums after with a handy mat holder to give them a good cleaning! I love this place and I am so excited that there is quick car wash in the area now as I need to keep my car clean for work! Welcome to the neighborhood Fast 5!

Went here for the first time today. Worth the 5 bucks. From the low star reviews– what do you people expect? It’s not a hand wash– it’s a quick wash and works for the price. You can vacuum your car at no added charge. I’ll be returning. Great customer service and friendly employees

Cheap wash with vacuum included. I have tried every wash they offer and I didn’t notice any huge differences so I stick with the five dollar basic wash. Gets the job done to my satisfaction. I love the products availabe at the machines. Great staff also, always friendly.

I’m 100% sure this place is ran by Walter White. I just don’t understand how it’s so cheap!
The carwash gets the job done, while the high power vacuums suck up all the fallen fries and dirt that’s covering my floor.
I’m in and out in 5 – 10 minutes, which makes it a nice little errand to run during my lunch hour.

Car washing doesn’t get anymore convenient than this place. Washes range from $ 5-​$ 10. You’re able to sit in your car and go through the wash, it only takes a few minutes. Upon exiting the wash there are vacuums at your disposable to clean inside the car.
The staff is great!
I go at least twice a week.

Love my local car wash. I need to look into the unlimited carwash pass. Don’t go when it’s busy cause it’s tough to find a spot for free vacuum.

Every two weeks wash… it doesn’t get the stuck on bird poops but not bad for a $ 5 wash because you get to use the vacuums with your service.

I come 1−2x/week and have the $ 20/​month unlimited wash package. As an über driver I need a consistently clean car and I’m able to keep the jeep in perfect condition with this service.
LOVE my boys that work here!!! The chicks are nice too but I tend to interact more with the guys. Every time I roll through they offer to take off my antennae and strap down my back windshield wiper so it doesn’t scratch the window. I come during the week and don’t have to wait or adhere to the time frame listed in the vacuum area. (Weekends are for the rookies, sorry)
One thing they could stand to improve on (only reason I rated a 4) is power washing the vacuum area more frequently. They err on the side of water conservation which I really appreciate however if I’m wearing a long skirt and it drags on the ground it can get a bit dirty. That would happen anywhere but hey, I’m a full disclosure kinda gal .
Check them out. It ends up being way cheaper and a better wash than the DIY places. Not to mention it’s clean, well lit and I feel very safe. No creepy people hanging out or trolling for handouts. That’s a biggie for me!
Ps. Don’t park in «my spot». It’s the last one on the left.

Car went so so dusty inside with couple bird spots here and there (6 days in driveway)
Came out clean and shiny — minus still all the bird spots were there
Asked attendant can I run it again since it looks same, I would understand if management sets «no complains rule»
He responded u should have wet towels to clean we sell here — oh uh
So I politely asked for one extra of the wet wipes to clean the car — yes that would be $ 0.50
This is the only car wash that never dries mirrors well and never removes any deeper dirt then dust.
I really like convenient location and the price but yes who gives a damn about $ 25 a month client

I love this place. Cheap and quick. I can get in here, wash the car, vacuum and dry it myself and get out in under 15 minutes.
It’s so fast and less expensive that I find myself going a lot more often since I don’t have to dedicate 45+ minutes and $ 25 at a hand car wash.
Very fast and convenient.

I love this car wash!
The employees here are nice and helpful. It’s quick, it’s easy, and my car looks great for $ 10. The vacuums are free and placed on each side or your car, again very convenient. I will be visiting them once a week for my car wash.

I went in on opening day to get my Mustang washed and was HORRIFIED with the end result.
Pulled up and asked my cashier (per the receipt, Jose) if the wash that was 10.00 (their most expensive wash) would get my wheels clean because they were the dirtiest part of the car, and he said oh yeah and gave me a line of bs a mile long…
The soap and bubbles are colorful and the same as other car washes, but coming out of the wash there are a TON of huge dryers — I thought this would be great! It’s an illusion though because they didn’t DRY the car, I still had water running down my windshield and then pulled out and around to get out my car care cloths, window cleaner and wax at the vacuum section and found there was still SOAP on the back of my car and OIL ALL OVER MY WHEELS!!!
I walked right up to Jose and said dude come look at this crap and he comes over with the manager and there’s OIL all over my front WHEELS and TIRES… they gave me some line about an axel and grease from a truck that just came through but HEY I DO NOT CARE, YOU JUST GOT OIL AND CRAP ALL OVER MY WHEELS AND TIRES!!!
The guys are cleaning my tires when I pointed the soap out to the manager and told him 2 months ago I JUST painted my entire vehicle (see previous posts on that episode) and I said that needs rinsed because I don’t want spots all over my car and he gave me a line about the soap is a detergent like dish soap. I told him I didn’t care what it was I wanted it OFF my car! They dried that off and I was already pissed so I told them I was going to drive around and be back if that stuff was still on my car. Then I ran my finger on my tire and the oil was still on the tire — again Jose cleaned that off too.
Drove around and came back because I found there were WATER SPOTS all over the car and not just water but some kind of something else because it was like my windshield (that was supposed to have been treated with rainex) was GREASY —- it was sooooooooo spotted up — and so was the paint. So I pull in and again Jose comes out and starts washing the w/​s with some paper towels and I kept telling him I’VE GOT IT because his spray crap was getting all over the hood now too … omg omg omg I’m NOT going back here and you should CHECK YOUR VEHICLE before you leave to make sure there’s not a bunch of oil and grease all over it as well as soap still on the paint and greasy dots all over your windows as well as the paint.
It’s dark now so I’ve got to wait to check it more tomorrow but tonight I’m REALLYYYYYYYYYY pissed off …
