La Vonne C.

If I wasn't in such a rush, I probably would have done this complaint in person. The quality of wash was just not there. I could still see dirt residue on exterior of my car after the wash. The worst part for me was that they didn't fully vacuum or wipe the inside of my car. I own a mobile cart business so it can get dusty and dirty inside the car. There was so much dust and crumbs left and I was so disappointed. They never moved the keys from where I left it so obviously the cup holder wasn't cleaned. Why did I pay to get someone to clean my car if I could do a better job at a drive through carwash? There are other car washes within less than a mile from here. Just go there and don't make the same mistake as me.

Scratched hood of the car on the drivers side

Unbelievably bad experience at this car wash this morning. Retrieved my car after the wash and noticed huge scratches on the hood. I immediately asked what happened and who I'm assuming was the manager was brought over to talk to me. He immediately said they didn't do it and it was there before. How would he know that? I said it wasn't and he said we have no machine we didn't scratch it. I said did you have a dirty rag? He said no. Interesting. I also walked around while my car was getting washed and noticed two workers looking at it for a few minutes after being washed before it got dried. Wonder why Not only that, my car was filthy. It looked like it had been sprayed down with a hose and lightly dried. The roof looked like it hadn't been touched. I paid for the silver car wash $33.99. Was rang up for $35.99 when I asked why it was more expensive than the sign the lady at the register said I probably have a big car. (It's a mid size suv) a little transparency from the beginning would be appreciated. This place lacks accountability and trust. I came to get my car washed and came home with a dirty car with a scratched up hood. Unbelievable. We brought the car back and they washed it again and used the excuse "it's a basic car wash and we do it fast"

Bugs on my side mirror after paying $150.

Terrible quality for the amount that I paid for. I took my car in for a wash after a road trip from LA to Monterey. I know that my car was nasty and covered in bugs, but the quality of the wash was terrible. I pulled up to the entrance wanting to get their Silver grade wash which is around $35. The guy said I needed to get the $150 "The Start" package because the bodily fluid and acids from the bugs on my car could damage the paint. Call me gullible, but I have a rav4 and I know Toyotas have body paint issues. So I trusted the guy and dropped the extra $120 from what I was planning to pay. Cleaning time wasn't an issue, but honestly I'd prefer for the service to have been longer if it meant my car would truly be clean. After the wash, my windows are still foggy from the inside and out, there's leftover bird poop everywhere, and I had to point out multiple spots where the washers clearly missed spots. The guy waxing the car tried playing it off saying they were scratches in the paint, but when I was able to wipe it off with my finger he begrudgingly cleaned up the messes. I had to inspect my car over and over before giving up and driving off. The most irritating thing about this place is the guy telling me me I needed the more expensive package to get rid of the bugs on my car, but they didn't even clean all of the bugs off! This place does not care for the quality of their work and is just hoping some young folks who don't know any better get fear mongered into paying for their exorbitantly priced higher trims in the name of vehicle care. Learn from my mistakes and avoid this place. Update: the business owner commented on my review saying that "the start" package is not an upsell. He is correct in that statement and I changed my review to reflect that. However, the sentiment still stands: the employee told me I needed a higher tier package to get all of the bugs off, and yet there were plenty of bugs still on my car after the wash. Do not go here.

Very much appreciated and thank you for giving me a great wash. As a mother of four, I know my car can get MESSY but thank you for making a miracle!

missed a spot or two

The guys at StreamDrive have done an amazing job on our vehicles as well as our absurdly large van. Their attention to detail is really impressive, and they're just generally wonderful to work with. Highly recommended!

Communicative and fast! I used the Yelp Projects quote system. Fast response time, within a couple…read moreof hours. StreamDrive was willing to provide an estimate with the details provided in messaging, unlike the other companies who contacted me! Every other businesses' response boiled down to, "bring your car in and we'll look at it." The old entrapment model of auto detailing. Where they're counting on you not having the willpower to leave if the work has already begun. Luke at StreamDrive was able to accommodate my current situation and offered to swing by and see the condition of my car in-person and provide the quote. By default, that's 5-stars "above and beyond" service. I want to recommend his business to people for life! My Honda C-RV needed prep for resale. StreamDrive really went in and did some disinfecting, were able to remove lingering odors, got the leather restored, restored the headlights, and even performed a trim restore so this 2013 car looks really fresh! I wasn't expecting to write a review for this auto detailing service, so I don't have any "before" photos. I'm sorry about that, it's not an ideal situation for a glowing restoration review. I'm not so comfortable sharing pictures of my personal vehicle in the first place, you know what I mean? My pics just look like a super clean car. You can't tell it was ever damaged! $400 all-in inside-and-out restoration, under the hood, even buffing out some minor scuffs and scrapes it looks like, as well as painting/restoring the sun-faded plastic panels all around the vehicle: that's a value. No gap left untouched, unlike a drive-thru detailing service. I'm getting return on investment and then some because I'm now able to sell at top dollar private party fair market value.

They were able to schedule me to drop off my car and was awesome in rescheduling me when I wanted an earlier date! I loved the appointment reminders and confirmation texts. It tells me you prioritize your clients and respect their time and you're organized! We left our other tint shop because they got so disorganized and started taking too many people at once which forced delayed pickup. I'm taking almost 10PM. Anyway I wanted to give a shoutout to their front staff LEXI who was so responsive the day of my appointment when I had a hiccup that morning. She greeted us upon check-in, covered what we're there for and was very kind and knowledgeable as well. She also got us to add an extra service which we usually skip. However she presented to us the product, educated us on the "pros" and we went for it! We also informed them if they can get everything done at a specific time since we had our little human with us. She didn't promise but she said they'll try their very best and to contact me asap! The installers did just that. Lexi called us about 20 mins earlier than said time. Not only did they complete the job much earlier than we anticipated, their work was phenomenal! We were very pleased with the results when we saw the windows and windshield as well as a small PPF area that I wanted done, in person! Their pricing is very appropriate for the quality of their services and we are now using G5 as go-to for all things tint and PPF! Thank you G5 for being the best and for hiring such an incredible team! We wish you more success!

My car was finished and ready for pickup at 4pm.
