Paid for VIP wash and thought it included interior wipe down and windows, same spot in my window after 7 visits, interior not wiped down spoke with owner only to be told my seats are white and won't be scrubbed, my seats were never touched with a wet rag at all. Poor customer service, highly disappointed after going and given several chances to redeem passed bad experiences. 10/10 don't recommend. Will try vintage car wash on standiford ave. Also did not get the pina colada fragrance. read more

Five Minute Car Wash - look at my dash this is cleann to them - Car Wash Near Me - Modesto, California

Haven't been here in 20+ years and sadly it's gone way downhill! I had such fond memories of Saturdays with my Dad when I was a kid. My husband and I paid for the VIP, arrived at 1pm, and didn't leave until 1:50!!! 5 minute car wash is more like 50 minutes. The slowness wouldn't be so much of an issue if the car was actually clean inside. The cup holders were sticky. The seats still dirty. The wheel wasn't wiped down. And just like the other poor reviews, they forgot our scent. I would've said something if we didn't want to get out of there so badly, but after 50 minutes today - we just said we won't be back. read more

After spending 35.00 on a VIP wash.. Im so disappointed I actually had to show the Manager twice on how many things they missed. What was his response I will wipe it down and it wasn't clean still.. so I just left.. Don't waste ur money.. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would!! We went into the car wash perfectly fine, and then we seen our suburban door handle had been taped up with red tape. I walked over to the car and seen it had been broken. We talked to Duncan and he was being a smart ass, and said he didn't break it, and was being smart. Then his dad Brandon came in and started acting even more of a smart ass! He called security and basically said there's nothing we can do and that it was our fault. Then said some racist remarks talking to us in Spanish , just because we're Hispanic and we're all fluent English. Never come here again , they have broke a lot of peoples stuff and will continue to break peoples stuff! read more

I want to say Thank you to Brandon and his staff for the awesome job they did when I took my car back. Brandon expressed for me to bring my car back in so they can rewash my car free of charge and boy did they. my car was shinning from bumper to bumper. everyone there was very nice when i took it back. they were just on the ball. i will take my car back here again and my mom's car. maybe the first go around they were just having a bad day but they sure made up for it. I thank all of them for their hard work. 5 stars..... read more

Overpriced - $25 for vacuum and exterior wash only, there wasn't even any tire dressing. Only 2 options for washes lately: exterior only for $15 and what I got above for $25. At this point I might as well just go to Mister. Today, after driving off, I realized that whoever moved my car reset my vehicle settings - really annoying to reprogram everything. I don't think I'll be going back anytime in the near future. read more

Horrible customer service. I stopped in yesterday on my way home from work. Three lanes were closed off with cones but the fourth was open so i drove in. I had no idea they closed at 5 and that i was too late. Informing me of this fact would have been simple enough but instead a man came out absolutely screaming and being nasty too me for not realizing they were closed. I will not be coming back. I didn't yell at him or get upset i didn't need their employees yelling at me. read more

We've been going to 5 Minute Car Wash since 1974. It was always excellent, but now it's improved-excellent! Yes, the full-boat inside/outside wash is around $30, but compared to a tank of gas, it doesn't sound like so much. In 1974, you got a really good carwash for the price of admission. In 2022, you get a complete auto-detail! And I mean DEATAILED detail. They have a machine which launders your car's removable mats. The inside of your door-frame is wiped free of road-grime. Best of all, the gray-bearded Foreman is the same guy I met in 1974. And , he's still roaming the lot, herding all those young "cats" who are performing these miracles. That's stability. How many businesses are like that these days? Not many. I would recommend anyone driving 99 to stop off in Modesto for an amazing "car wash." While you're there, grab a bite at the nice little cafe, inside. read more

Five Minute Car Wash - 5-Minute Car Wash Oakdale Road, Modesto, CA - Car Wash Near Me - Modesto, California

I went here for the first time on Friday Sept.10th 2021. I wasn't sure what to do but the staff and other customers helped me along the way. I got the VIP wash, it was $35 and they did a great job. My car looks brand new. They have a gift shop with tons of nice items, luggage, clothes, jewelry, candles, bath&body etc. Also they have a restaurant so you can shop and eat while you get your car detailed. I'm planning on bringing all my vehicles here from now on. read more

This place sucks not worth the $30 . They didn't even vacuum or clean the inside good !! Not Manager was notified and he didn't seem to care or even attempt to do anything about it read more

I have been going there well over a year but today will be last if you want your windows and dashboard wiped down you will not get it paying 22.00 which they used to do. You can go across town to vintage and get all of that for I believe 19.00 which from now on I will be doing. Today I was very disappointed. read more

So where do I begin with this unprofessional car wash service! So first they locked my car keys WHILE my car was ON!!! Then once they finally got it open my passenger side seat was SOAKED in water drenched and the "manager" said well you're responsible for your window to be closed! Unheard of we simply asked for a refund and the "manager" said no we can't do that here! Talk about customer service right! Ridiculous!!! read more

Just left getting my car washed and this is what I found! How hard is it to vacuum out the cup holders? This was the last chance I was giving them.. I used to pay monthly and stopped because they've gotten so lazy.. now I'd go periodically and I pay for fast track. No more read more

Five Minute Car Wash - They couldn't even vacuum my cup holder! How hard is it? We pay A LOT to have a car washed and this is what I get every time. Never again! - Car Wash Near Me - Modesto, California

This was my first time here and wow, the lack of customer service is outrageous. The guy at the vacuum nearly ripped my door handle off because apparently I couldn't get the doors unlocked and out of the car fast enough for him. Then the lady at the counter to pay wasn't any better. Then as I'm waiting for my car some of the attendants are smoking cigarettes in between drying off cars. My car is clean for the most part, but not 30$ clean. Will not return. read more

We love this place. I call it "Brandon's Village". The service is always great and everything is detail oriented. We have previously had a "monthly car wash membership" at the other full service wash in Modesto. There was always something wrong, or they missed something all together, and the prices in the gift shop were ridiculously high. We have never once had to ask 5 Min CW to re wash, or to fix anything, they are far more detailed! Services used by us: car wash, window tint (3 diff vehicles), clear bra, oil/lube, gift shop, restaurant, detailing (several times). The services on site: great interior/exterior, full service wash, restaurant (brkfst/lunch), detailing, window tinting, clear vehicle bra, oil/lube, smog, gas station, quicky-mart, gift shop, geez that's about all I can think of right now. Go check it out! read more

My Dad told me to come here! Despite the Yelp rating, he said they are awesome. I went and they did a really good job! I'm super happy with it. And was able to watch the process through windows while enjoying a very yummy smoothie, so refreshing! Very happy and satisfied! They were super busy so you KNOW that's always a good sign, but my car was still done lickity split anyway! I'll come here from now on! read more

Used to love this place. Been going here for YEARS. Car cleaning is just OK and prices have gone up once again, while quality goes down. Almost $40 if you want full service and your dashboard wiped down. Much better service and less expensive at the hand carwash on McHenry and Vintage Carwash. read more

My wife waited for our car to pass through the Five Minute Car Wash, as she has been doing, off and on since 1964 when this Modesto institution opened. A white Buick, like ours, came out to be dried, but it couldn't be ours because the car did not have a luggage carrying rocket box on top. But...OMG! It WAS our car, but where was the rocket box? Well, sometimes good things come out of seemingly bad circumstances and so it was two days before we were scheduled to drive back to Montana after spending five months nursing aging parents. Yes, the rocket box had been in the process of being forcibly removed by machine from the car's roof rack when an alert attendant saw the box caught in an overhead brush and shut down the operation. They removed the rocket box and continued with the car wash. The owner and his son, Brandon, were right on top of the situation and were super then and have been so all the way through the process. These are very much stand up people who take responsibility and come through without any hassle. Brandon assured us that he would whatever it took to get the luggage rack and rocket box repaired or replaced. In addition, and of great concern for us, was that we were packing and preparing the car for travel the next day and then beginning a long road trip back to Montana the day after that. Brandon again said that if they could get it all done for us so as to be on our travel schedule, he would see to it. We were directed to Burnside Body Shop (see review, Burnside Body Shop, Modesto, CA) and the following morning I was there at 8am and Brandon had already dropped off the rocket box and arranged to pay for the repairs. And so it was. The rocket box was patched up and we all were confident that the luggage rack and box would be OK for the trip. Brandon called and gave me his email so I could keep him posted on the inspection of the luggage rack by the Montana dealer and then whether we replaced or repaired the rocket box. We had to replace the rocket box and Brandon promptly sent us a check reimbursing us for the full purchase price. A great experience with great high integrity people who also happen to run a great car wash. There are plenty of car washes around and Five Minute Car Wash is one of the best. Don't settle for less and don't worry if that rare something does "go wrong." We'll be back when next in Modesto. Thanks, Brandon. read more

I have been going here to have car wash for years. Well that is changing today! Last month went there and prices were blocked out but they explained that they were changing prices so I purchased the 32.00 car wash. I decided 32.00 was pretty steep for car wash but it was only going to be one time, usually I got the one for 28.00. Well went back today and now if you want your car washed inside and out it is 32.00! The next lower price is 22.00 for outside wash only and they DO NOT WIPE DOWN INTERIOR OR INSIDE WINDOWS. $22.00 for outside carwash is too expensive for me. Time to start with Vintage. Called them and their car wash is 23.00 for inside and out. So goodbye to 5 Minute car wash on Oakdale! read more

I take my 1991 Toyota pickup every week to get it washed and then do a great job. I am going to cancel my membership at Mister and switch to 5 minute car wash. Thank everyone for the great job they do. read more

Save your money! This car wash does NOT clean the interior of your car although their packages are very deceiving! They "dust" the inside of your car...for $30bucks! Total waste of money, its basically an overpriced exterior wash. Today took my Suburban first thing this morning and after 30 minutes they said they were done, turns out they did NOTHING inside the vehicle and we had to go back which is when they clarified they only dust inside. Even after the 2nd wash today the inside of the vehicle is filthy, total waste of money and time! read more

This is my 2nd time coming here. The first time, no issues. This time they said I didn't leave keys on the car which I did. I even told them where they were before exiting my vehicle. The guy who was moving my car paged me over the intercom and said rudely, I need your key fob which I then stated my keys are in the car and told him exactly where they were. He blamed his workers at the vacuum station and said they never pay attention and my keys don't belong on the door. I was not told that the 1st time or this time, but instead of being rude about it, let the customers know politely. As I was talking to him to let him know where my keys were put, he walked away and I couldn't hear him through all the noise of idling cars and vacuums. read more

I'm not sure how they came up with the name "Five Minute Car Wash" but it's realistically more like a 20 minute wash when it's all said and done. That's still fast and furious in my book! This place does a great job of being a one stop shop for your car hygienic needs. From check in to check out, it operates like a well oiled engine. The only draw back is that there is no announcement when your car is done being pampered. My first visit, I waited unceremoniously for an additional 30 minutes not knowing that the telltale sign that the car was done is the removal of the wet towels from the rear of the vehicle. It's like a secret car wash code that you have to know here. Come back within 10 days and get a $10 dollar discount off!!! read more

I drove in at 10:20 and literally was standing over my car to get it done. I left there at 11:30 with wet floor mats and not the best job in general. read more

My family always comes here for a car wash, and we're never disappointed! Our family has a lot of farm trucks -- so we always bring in really dirty vehicles for them and they're so kind about it. They do an inside and outside job, and even vacuum out your trunk if you open it for them. Stepping out of the dirty truck and into one that looks brand new when they're finished with it is a real treat! The sister businesses really makes the experience, too. I usually come over to the car wash after getting the oil changed and they have a nice cafe inside with good food. Thanks, guys! We see you out there working hard in the heat. Some jobs aren't the easiest but you've always done a superb job in spite of it. I always recommend 5 minute car wash. read more

I would give zero stars if this is an option Ppl don't have time to go back all the time because ppl at this car wash haTe vacuum, suck at vacuuming and maybe don't seE good to vacuum So now I spent 20$ and have to go vacuum my car again I support locAl business but this one no way anymore AnnOyed read more

I've been coming here every week for 15 years. Their staff always tends to the needs of my vehicle. Im in the "Clean Car Club". You pay a monthly fee and can get my car washed as many times as I want during the month. Great crew, great job cleaning cars and a fantastic restaurant to have a bite while my truck is getting pampered. Thanks to Mike, Brandon and the crew for a job well done every time I go in. read more

I paid the 18.00'clean and wax last Friday. Terrible. My car was still dirty and it looks like I never washed it. The 18.00 increase is a scam! read more

I'm always disappointed in this place. I only come here when I visit my folks in Modesto. This car wash is literally down the street from them so it's very convenient. It's connected to the gas station, which has the oil change garage so it's impossible not to come here and get things taken care of. When you get your oil changed you get a free wash. Anyway I know what you're thinking, if it's free then I shouldn't have high expectations. Maybe you're right. I've also paid for the car wash service, the higher priced ones that are or should be more detailed in cleaning and I've found that the inside of the car always is somewhat neglected regardless of what you pay. I understand it's a crappy, low paying job, which is why I still tip them, but it's pretty bad when I go home to finish wiping down the cup holders and dash. Like I said this place is convenient. Don't spend too much money on the higher priced washes cuz you get the same half ass job no matter what. read more

Always a great job and for $32 they do everythiny car is So clean & fresh smellng when they're done!

I've been going to this car wash for over 10 years. The service has always been good that's why I kept coming back. I went to the car wash last Friday 8/20 and was so unhappy with the service and from the response I got from Duncan. I paid $25 for VIP and honestly all they did was wash the exterior and clean the windows on the outside. They didn't vacuum the rear floor mats which those were the ones that needed to be cleaned. The service did not match the amount I paid. They also used to offer you a coupon if you came back within 10 days you would pay half price. They don't offer that anymore. When I called to let them know how bad their service was, the girl that answered just made excuses and told me that the person that greeted me should have told me about their limited service. She didn't seem to care at all. I emailed the company and Duncan responded with how short staffed they are and that VIP services are only available on the weekends. I was never told that. He offered to vacuum the one floor mat that was dirty. I was looking for a free car wash, just was hoping they would care that s loyal customer was very unhappy with their service. I will Not ever be back. read more

I did not know they had a lunch break time. But luckily I was there 5 minutes prior to it being over. So you park through the gas station area. They will ask if you need gas. Then they send you to park your car next to the vacuums. Afterwards you leave the car and wait around in the gift shop, or have a bite at the cafe, or just wait out front in the patio area. They will park your car up front and wipe the exterior and interior of the car. Once it's done you go get your keys. My experience was good. I don't have any complaints I was just happy they got most of the dog fur out of my car from me being a pet owner. Thank you! read more

I didn't need to be a customer to know their customer service is terrible. This place is a mishmash of things. From getting gas, getting your car worked on, and their carwash. Frankly, they should just stick to one thing. To summarize, stay away from these folks. Very terrible first impression. read more

This place is rude and unprofessional! They have a bunch of people just sitting around and refuse to help their customers with a COUPON THAT THEY GAVE THAT ISNT EVEN EXPIRED. They have the worst customer service I've ever experienced and I highly suggest going to vintage car wash for better customer service and professionalism . Even the owner was rude and disrespectful to WOMEN . I've been going there for at least 2 years and apparently there's no value to them when it comes to their customers. read more
