Stopped in with my son to get his car washed after a vacation. Mike and Anthony were fantastic. They walked us through the membership program and even helped with some items needed while we fine tuned the interior and exterior details. You guys went above and beyond. His car looks great. Thanks again- we'll be back! read more

This is the worst Fast5Xpress location that I've been to. The layout/location of this place is terrible and it's hard to access from the opposite side of the street. What's even worse is that once you're done with your car wash, it's impossible to circle back around to get a round 2 wash if you need another one because you're literally forced to exit onto the main road, which won't let you back into the entry driveway. The entrance is also super short. Good luck not getting blocked by cars when there's congestion... leaving you to fight opposite traffic to get in. They also don't seem to care at all who has a membership and who doesn't. The non-member line seems to allow more people through quickly than the membership line. What's the whole point of a membership? Service is extremely inconsistent. I've had some attendants spray with pre wash before, but some who haven't. I've had some tape down my rear wiper; some haven't. I'm just glad that my wiper hasn't been ripped off yet. read more

Car Wash damaged my car! Got a basic car wash and ripped off my fin. Plastic where screws were in were completely broken. I called the store and the worker who ran out to give me my part didn't care. No apology and declined when I asked if they could help me reach putting it back on. Very disappointed because I liked coming here I will not be coming back after my experience and property damaged. read more

Fast5Xpress Car Wash - Damaged Fin that basic car wash ripped off. - Car Wash Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Didn't know this place was down the street from where I work so this was super convenient cuz I've been going to a different one which is not far but it's not on the way to where I need to go. It's been awhile so I was shocked at how much an express car wash was but I'm lazy so I'll take this option over washing it myself. Not even just lazy i don't even have the gear to even wash my car so this is literally the only option i have. read more

What happened to this place? It used to be such a good car wash and the people who worked there were nice and conscientious. Now it's just a crappy car wash with disinterested people working there. It seemed like they sped up the wash itself (so it's more intense?) and one of the rollers grabbed my windshield wiper and ripped it off, slamming it on my windshield. I have been here numerous times and this never happened before. Thank goodness it didn't shatter! I went back to the front and after about 15 minutes they shut the wash down and retrieved my wiper. They refused to pay for it and with only two dim people there it was obvious I was on my own. And the honeymoon is over and they no longer give you a free car wash when you get one without membership. So, won't be coming back, not worth the damage.... read more

Came here last Sunday. When I came, could only access the credit card lane as the other lane (where I could pay cash) was closed off. Wanted a receipt but after yes, the machine wouldn't dispense. Going through the wash, half way through., the wash conveyor that moves the vehicles stops. That wasn't an issue until I got to the vacuum and saw that parts of my car were still wet and dirty like the door and back. Vacuums were weak as well. Emailed management and got a stock response. Not the first time this place was subpar but it will my last. Going to another business. read more

Fast and convenient--Fast5 really lives up to its name! My car came out clean, although it needed a quick wipe-down afterward. There are also plenty of vacuum stalls available, making it easy to finish up. read more

8/31/2026 at 11:29 am drove through car was.attendant did not spray with pre wash. did not put tape on rear wiper on GMC Yukon. Ripped off wiper. How hard is it to do your job!! read more

By far the worst location !!!!! The line in takes an hour, they let 20+ cars go before mine the other day (only one lane) and I have a membership, everyone who works here is rude as h*ll and everything is always broken. What a terrible waste of time. DO BETTER. read more

I brought my daughter's car her a couple months ago to get it washed. I asked to sign up for the month since she was going to be snowboarding the next couple weeks. There was a line of cars behind me, guy helping us just told me to initial a couple spots and we moved on. I put the date in my phone so my daughter knew what date the month would expire. Noticed two months later a new charge came through on my card... immediately reached out. After looking into it, realized I'd been charged two more times. No worries, contacted the vendor cause companies are usually helpful when things like this happen. Nope, not these guys... they were basically like, sorry NOT sorry. Even though my daughter only went one more time because she said the wash DID NOT EVEN GET HER CAR CLEAN, so she didn't bother going again. I explained that we didn't know it was a recurring subscription, I had asked to sign up for the month, there was such a long line of cars waiting, the guy didn't tell me anyyyy info other than giving me the form and the spots to mark (why wouldn't that be the first thing they say????)... but I guess I should have paused and read the fine print. True, that's my bad, but I guess I'm too trusting in a local vendor? Especially when I stated I just wanted to sign up for the month... not indefinitely. They did offer to extend the car washes for two months, but given the fact that my daughter's car barely got clean AND there are several reviews about cars being scratched, I'd rather eat the money and support another local business. I basically paid, $87 for two mediocre car washes, 4 unhelpful customer service emails and a whole waste of my time. read more

Came here twice with grand Highlander which roof has carrier bar on top. If you have anything on the roof, they'll bypass it so be aware but the sides got very clean read more

honestly would give 0 stars if I could but I was at this car wash a couple weeks ago and completely forgot to leave a review but this car wash DAMAGES your vehicles. While going through the car wash I noticed a loud thump but thought nothing of it, once I was going to dry my car I noticed a BIG DENT and chipped paint on my driver side where I heard the thump earlier. Would avoid coming to this specific fast5xpress, now my 2025 Camry has a horrible dent on it. read more

Helpful extremely helpful. Anthony gave me some advice for some pre-sap worked great even offered some other advice love the Car wash and the vacuum area. I won't go anywhere other place. read more

Great little car wash! Reasonably priced and easy in-and-out. I usually go for the $16 Gold Wash because it has a three-day guarantee. They have a full row of stalls with vacuums, wipes and freshener for your dash, and additional supplies for purchase if you need it. You can also sign up for a monthly unlimited at each tier. Love coming here because my whip always leaves sparkling clean and fresh! read more

Wife was in car wash and suddenly the car in front of her stopped due to a backup and she became smashed between 2 cars. Not until she honked her horn did the attendant stop the machine. Long story short, no refund, no offer to fix car, "lawyer" of the establishment gave the run around until we just went away. Disappointing customer service. Guess I'm back to washing cars at home on Sundays... read more

It seems to me like EVERY single Fast5Xpress offers the same bad quality and expensive car wash experience. I thought this being so close to Newport it would be better than the other ones but NOPE. It's the same awful car wash that doesn't clean your call well. You're better off using a garden hose on your car. Don't waste your money on any of these read more

Was running errands in the area and decided to try this car wash. For the price, convenience and speed, I definitely recommend it!

The price is excellent for a great, quick wash. With 4 levels to choose from, it is easy to get a wah you can be happy with. Employees are friendly. read more

$19.99, this car wash is a steal! They do a thorough job, and my car always looks spotless. Lunchtime is the best time to go, less crowded and super quick. Affordable, efficient, and reliable, highly recommend! read more

Great car wash and quick service! Anthony was super sweet and led great customer service! Thank you!!

Save your TIME AND MONEY. Don't come to this car wash unless you want a dirtier car after the car wash... why did my car come out dirtier than it was before? When you go through the wash you can clearly see the murky water running down the brushes of the machine. The people directing you clearly don't get the dimensions of any vehicle correct. One of the machines completely side scraped the left side of my car and left permanent damaged with the paint scratched off. It doesn't matter what level of cleanliness you want or ask for because all the dirty water is just recycled for the car behind you. None of these prices clearly aren't worth it if your car comes out dirtier. Don't fall for it. read more

Don't bring a large SUV here! Scratched my brand new 2026 Escalade (w/ under 300 miles) and refused to make it right. Not how you do business. Steer clear of this place if you have a large SUV or truck ... you're almost guaranteed to leave w/ a new scratch and/or chipped paint like me. read more

I wish I would have gotten his name but the gentleman working in the cashier booth today (5/27 @6:47pm) just paid me a really nice act of kindness. It really made my day. Customer service is not dead- will be back for sure. Thank you Fast5Xpress! read more

My go to for a car wash , powerful vacum, clean and courteous and Michael at the entrance of the drive through is always so friendly and smiling , really adds to the great experience read more

Honestly, easy, quick, does the job, boom 5 stars. If local in Costa Mesa, can't go wrong here for a quickie, feel me!?

Great car wash vacs always work. Helpful workers and plenty more of space to clean your car

I'm bummed to even write this review, but feel I should in order to make the company aware. I bought the silver monthly package, as I live right down the street from the 17th street Costa Mesa location. I was happy with the results up until a couple weeks ago. Not sure if something is broken within the car wash, but the last two times I went through, it severely scratched the sides of my car and barely cleaned it. I cancelled my membership after this occurred as I'm sure they will not acknowledge or take responsibility for the damage. Anyhow - I have a Chevy Tahoe and need it cleaned weekly, as we have children in sports. If you care about your paint job, I would not recommend going to this location. I now need to get these scratches hopefully buffed out. And when I cancelled my monthly membership and gave this reason why - I got a generic email back of "sorry to see you go!" read more

It is what it is: a cheap way to clean up your car passably and vacuum it out. You save a few bucks vacuuming it yourself, and you get a decent looking result. Not for people who care too much about their paint jobs or how their car looks. But for cheap slobs like me, it works just fine and the price is right. read more

Very convenient car wash and very friendly staff. Shout out to Trenton who helped answer all my questions regarding membership, bc there were a lot! He had so much patience and just very friendly! You get good value for your money, esp with the membership read more

This is a great car wash, it's super convenient and everyone that works here is nice. You drive up, pay, then you drive around to the car wash and after you go through the car wash, you can vacuum and use the air to blow the rest of the water off. It's affordable and I highly recommend this car wash. We have been going here for years! read more

Got my car washed today, and drove home and once I got out realized it was barely clean. The outside looked like it got swept with a broom and it was still pretty dusty. Definitely not worth my money for the quality and value of the wash. I have gotten my car washed here before and usually it's a pretty decent job, so i don't know what is wrong with today's wash. Would love if this situation can be fixed. read more

I have been coming here fairly often since they opened. The attendant guiding cars onto the conveyor belt today around 5:00 pm was very rude. I was having trouble getting my car onto the conveyor belt and he yelled at me. He kept telling me to turn my wheels, then take my hand off the steering wheel then yelled at me because I didn't turn my wheels. I have never had this experience here before. I was so frustrated with the service and frankly quite embarrassed. I had such a dreadful headache by the time I got home that I decided not to wash my car here again. read more

Fast friendly service! I opted to go through the cash line and they offered me a towel and a air freshener. I picked the silver service since I wanted to wash my tires also. Good price for under $12 access to free vacuums. Overall was a 5/5 experience. read more

I think I'm going to have to give up at this point. It's broken twice now while I'm in line and I wasted time just sitting there in line each time only to be given some card for a free wash. Then when I give them the card it takes them time to process that. Not to mention if you are in the lest lane it's like 2 cars go on the right lane because the process the payment slow on the left. They should put another auto pay thing on the left lane too. The people are nice enough but when they let it back up, then there's no room to vacuum your car which again I've paid for it and can't use it. read more

There's a price increase every time I go, yet the quality of the car wash gets worse. The last three times I've gone my car didn't even look like it had gone through the car wash read more

I always go to this car wash and love it but today man directing to go in wash was VERY RUDE!! (Eye rolling, talking under his breath. Mind you it was very slow today). Maybe 1 car behind. Very disappointed read more

Had a new car. Not super nice not super cheap either. Ran it through and it scratched it. Showed someone there and they said management would call me, no one did. I called them, and couldnt get a call back. Just looking for it to be buffed out with a little polishing compound. What a joke. read more

Convenient, fast, and cost effective for multiple washes a week on the beach front. Two central locations in Costa Mesa.

Have been here many times and had a good experience. Not so today. I always paid full price before, but today I finally remembered to use a past receipt of a Platinum wash for 50% off this wash. But they charged me $8 and just gave a Bronze wash (which is $8 regular price anyway), and the cashier took my receipt. What the heck? So no discount and regular Bronze wash. It was too busy for me to go back and ask for the correct wash. But what a disappointing experience today. read more

Honestly, this car wash is great except when Michael is working the entrance, he is always rolling his eyes so mad at all of the drivers who need direction. I don't see how this guy is still here for himself. Customers be aware Michael is really mean the eye rolling is insane with this man. read more
