Streaks left on my door cup holders

Really wanted to try this place out and automatically regret it...... I tried the "MANAGER'S SPECIAL" which was $109 cause the guy told me he'd get it looking good since it was pretty dirty from my last camping trip. But when it was done, I saw a bunch of spots untouched and uncleaned including my door cup holders, they left them as they were! Not even tried to clean it and got home I noticed they didn't even clean my tires properly it still has dirt all over them! Tbh this was a pathetic job effort and for the price I paid. I wasn't expecting a detail job but I have definitely paid less for way better job at other places. WILL NEVER GO BACK HERE.

It's just fine car wash. I use it because it's right between my home and work. Good quality, great value for the price.

Every wheel is clearly dirty, has water puddles, mirrors were wet and front and rear do not come here

Front and rear of my car still wet, all my wheels were still visually dirty and water puddles in every single one ... mirrors were still wet only got a few pics because I thought it was just my mirrors but upon walking around the whole truck I just noticed more ... do not recommend this place.

Today was my first time, but it won't be my last based on my experience. It's a bit more expensive than other places close by but honestly they do an extremely thorough job. I have been to a few other similar sized car washes close by and this has been the best service that I have received so far. They did a great job cleaning and really went the extra mile making sure it was well done. I chose the works wash for $52 and feel it was worth it. They have more expensive and cheaper options than that, just depending on your needs. I really value my car and spend a lot on it so I don't let just any place clean it and feel I made a good decision to bring my car here.

Always used to come to this car wash and never had complaints, people and service used to be nice . Today seems like it's a new employee Cashier Hilberto was super rude when I asked about extras that he was charging, he literally said "go somewhere else ". Does the business needs employees that are sending the customers away . When I asked to talk to the manager he laughed and did not give me a contact , when I insisted he pointed to some guy who was just a worker . That cashier should not work anywhere with people . Rude ! And of course causing lost for a business .

Had the worst experience today for my weekly wash. It was pretty busy and I was trying to be in and…read moreout. I was going thru the wash - there's a big black truck in front and there's a car behind me. Im getting to the end - and I notice that the truck is sitting in front of the drying section. Don't know what the protocol is to sitting there trying to get your whole vehicle to dry, but I'm getting pushed closer and closer to this sitting truck. I was finally so close to it that I'm having to step on my brake to keep me from rear ending him. Totally confused because there's an employee wavering traffic in front but never tells this truck to move forward to allow the process to continue to flow. I'm not a car expert but the feeling of having to hit my brakes in there and the car wash conveyor system continuously trying to push me out did not make me feel like my car was in good hands nor did it feel safe. Shit happens, but personally I feel like there can be a better system in place for these things to not happen. On top of that - this business recently up'd their pricing due to inflation and their high quality of wash, but there's still bird shit on my car after going through it, so there's that.

This New express car wash is great! 1st month was $5. Deal for the month. I chose to continue at…read more$29.99 for the Top unlimited Ceramic Car Wash. Normally $20 for just one wash. What an outstanding deal. Really, unlimited washes in 1 month. I went every other day to wash my black car. What a deal! Drive in, Vacuum car, Wash car, wipe car dry. In and out in 15 minutes or take your time and stay 30 minutes. Good exercise. No waiting, no tipping, so easy, so fast. Try this place out.

I was on the go nearby and badly needed a car wash and Yelp led me here…read more HOW TO GET IN: The first thing to know is that they have a gate that needs to be pushed open by the attendant to get in. The "Open" sign was hanging on the gate and I can see cars in there but drove through past because I didn't know how to get in (and didn't see the attendant the first time) so I had to circle back around. The big gate that's closed with the "Open" sign is the way in and out with the help of the gate attendant so be careful as Lorena is a thoroughfare with potential speedy traffic as people get off and on the nearby 60 freeway. COST: There are three standard price levels for a hand wash: $21.99, $24.99 and $29.99. They have a sign indicating they offer more premium services you can add on such as leather treatment, etc. PAYMENT: It does appear they do accept card payments though I paid in cash. HOW IT WORKS: Overall a bit confusing. It appears they wash and dry the cars one at a time with the entire large crew working on the wash or dry process together. The car disappears behind their car wash tent for that process so only saw it going through the drying process. No one ever came and asked me what package I wanted and another customer (who was patient with me) advised me to just tell the person who was moving the cars up whenever he came around once my car was under the wash tent. I think you're supposed to go get your own air freshener from their makeshift tent shop that is included in every car wash package but I didn't get one because I was confused enough. I paid when they handed me back my car. WEAR SUNBLOCK/HAT: Depending on the time you are there, be sure you're ready for some sun exposure and heat if it's a hot day. I couldn't tell if the businesses sharing the same lot is also theirs and if the indoor, covered space is part of the same business. I was just too confused! THE WASH JOB: They did a really great job with the wash, dry and vacuuming of my car. It had been sitting out in the elements for a while and it was returned to me really shiny.

$25 for a basic wash and tire dressing. It's a weird place. Get there early because it's crowded…read moreeven on a weekday. It was my first time there today, I'm pleased.

I requested a quote via Yelp projects and got so many responses, but I decided to go with 5 de Mayo Mobile Car Wash. They were the most understanding and tried their best to accommodate my schedule, so that was a great sign even with my late responses due to work. So Julio came to get work done on my car, and he was really friendly. I gave him a heads-up on certain areas to be careful because I had gotten some work done on my rims recently. Also mentioned a small stain that needed attention. Then I left my car with him, and I went for a walk around the neighborhood. About an hour and a half later, I got a message that my car was ready to go. My car was looking brand new! Honestly speaking, I never really wash my car because I am super lazy. Exterior and interior both looked perfectly new and shiny! The stain I mentioned was barely even noticeable, so I was very satisfied with the outcome. Julio showed me the equipment he used (I think it was a steamer) and that he tried his best to get it out. I was thankful because I wasn't expecting him to remove it because I already had work done for it, but now it's unnoticeable. I venmoed the total, which was $110 for the service I chose prior to making an appointment, and I also tipped him for an awesome work. It was 10 AM in the morning, and the weather was pretty warm too. Highly recommend 5 de Mayo Mobile Car Wash to anyone who needs some serious work done. I got my car inspection done 2 hours after the wash, and I had no ding with zero charge, which is awesome! Thank you, Julio and 5 de Mayo Mobile Car Wash, for your hard work, and I will definitely recommend you to friends and family. I am sure every one of the guys working for 5 de Mayo is awesome but you have my word for Julio. Please do not forget to tip them! I will see you again when I get my next car!
