Five Minute Car Wash goes above and beyond a great car wash -- inside and out. A few months ago my car battery died after washing and Mike offered to help me jump start the car to drive over to AutoZone, where he mentioned they would install the battery. I had just called AAA and told him I would wait. An hour later, AAA had not shown up, and so he thoughtfully asked again if I would like help with.a jump start. Despite my own stubbornness, Mike was my patient guardian angel in the flesh that day. After AutoZone installed my battery as part of their service, I went back over to Mike to thank him for his patience and kindness and help. Five Minute Car Wash has my business and Mike has my eternal gratitude. God Bless Mike.

I visited this place on a Saturday and brought my vehicle in for the VIP service. Unfortunately, I didn't receive the service I paid for: the floor mats weren't cleaned or shampooed, and the fragrance I requested wasn't added. I ended up going home and doing the job myself. I spoke with Ryan, who wanted me to bring the car back, but since I had already done the work, there was no point. The next day, I returned with another vehicle to see if they could make things right. Since my other car was already cleaned by me, I saw no reason to bring it back. I asked Ryan if he could rectify the situation with this other vehicle. However, he seemed more concerned about not doing another vehicle and receiving a bad review. He could have easily avoided a bad review by simply making it right, but his lack of concern for customers and his business was apparent. I will definitely never return here. I highly recommend Vintage Car Wash instead. I've been a loyal customer there for years, and they consistently provide excellent service. They always make things right, regardless of the situation, and prioritize customer satisfaction over avoiding bad reviews.

Zero out of 10 experience. I paid $40 for the VIP experience car wash and waited 30 minutes on top of that. Five minutes my ass. And they were returning the car to me very dirty. There were literal white fingerprints all over the dashboard in the dirt wasn’t even vacuumed out of my car seat. Ever heard a vent cleaning? Never go here. I wish I could give it a zero star.

Sorry we went... As a thank you to a community volunteer who has given hundreds of hours of her time unselfishly to help students at our school, we had her take her Dodge pickup to Five Min Car Wash detail. We usually use a service on McHenry and always had great results. This time we decided to give Five Min a try as they have done many good washes for us for decades. We also wanted to have breakfast nearby.. It was a mistake, both the volunteer and I got different answers when we each called on the price and scheduling, and these were inconsistent with what we experienced when we arrived. When we dropped off the vehicle, the person behind the counter had didn't seem to understand the pricing or how to input the data to make the sale. She had to be told what the price was which she scribbled on a piece of paper. The funny thing was, she claimed to be the manager and didn't know the system. (Interesting combination, but this is Modesto after-all). We had been told $150 by one person, when we got there it was $175 (we were only asking for a carpet cleaning). Also, we were told that if we dropped the vehicle off the night before that it would be done "first thing" the next morning and that it only took about 5 hours. When we called around 3:30 to come and pick it up, the person who answered said it wasn't done and after spending several minutes on hold and listening to explanations/excuses saying that there was some information missing (mind you they had enough information to charge the card the night before and take in the vehicle). Finally, they said it wouldn't be ready until 5 pm (we had an event we needed to be at by 4:00 and counted on Five Min having their part done before that as promised) so we could go from one to the other. Then, when we picked it up the next day, the carpets looked great. The wash we didn't ask for was inconsistent at best. See pictures. The bed and running boards were partially done. The whole experience left us knowing that we will keep on with our McHenry merchant for detailing in the future.

I've been using them.For over twenty years. I pay for the monthly membership. If I wanted to I can wash my car every day, it's all part of the deal.. Full service membership the only way to go...

I have been going to 5-minute car wash since I was a little girl. I went today for a full service wash. I am ultimately disappointed with how the inside of my car was (not) cleaned. It's unacceptable! The quality we used to get here has definitely fallen short of the excellence they used to give.

This place sucks. The cap for my shark-fin antenna was completely sheered off by their machine. The manager wasn't able to find it in the along the line. This might end up costing hundreds to replace, because the entire assembly needs to be replaced. He tried to say "it might've been loose" before it entered the wash. The doesn't make any sense at all. If you look at the photos, the antenna cap was screwed into the assembly and the screws were completely broken off. Their machine clearly did this. He also tried to float the idea that it came off before it entered the wash, also impossible. I noticed it right away and there's no way I wouldn't have on my way there. Also, they didn't notice until I pointed it out (how???). The manager didn't take any accountability for what happened and tried to put the blame on me. No apology or refund was offered. On top of all of this, the wash was terrible. I ordered the VIP wash and there were still spots and sap I easily got off with my finger. I also noticed other damage and scratches on my hood and a new ding on the door. DO NOT take your car here, plenty of other solid car washes in Modesto. I'm out a few hundred because of this place, read the other reviews and DON'T COME HERE.

Edit: Thanks for the owner getting back to me, however people do not usually have an extra 20 minutes (including me) ontop of the first 20 minutes they spend here to have things washed again.. have a talk with your workers.. -I grew up going here. Years ago my dad used to take his work truck here and they did an incredible job cleaning it every time. I came to get my car cleaned just as they opened so it wasn't busy. Paid $32 for the VIP. The outside looks good. The inside looks only slightly vacuumed and barely dusted with a dry towel.. Its unfortunate.. I used to love this place and tip generously. I would have rather saved money and done it myself. Hate to leave such a bad review but the workers need to take their job more seriously for how pricey this place is.

This car wash was recommended to me so I decided to stop by on my lunch break. I guess they close at 12 for lunch. Not something I expected in a large city in 2025. You'd think they would know to plan accordingly so their staff could take lunch at different times but I guess they want to turn away business.

Left side mirror was left turned in and still wet. Floor mats were removed, cleaned and just placed back in, still wet and not properly reattached to the floor of the car. Back window still had water running down one side. The driver's seat was adjusted forward and not returned to its original setting. The price for the VIP service is reasonable if everything is done correctly, but not if important details are overlooked.

I’ve been going to 5 Minute Car Wash in Modesto for over 20 years. I was nearby and decided to run my wife’s car through for a quick wash. When it came out, the rear windshield wiper was hanging straight down and the weather stripping on the back gate was pulled loose. I asked for a manager. Duncan came out to take a look. We’ve owned this vehicle since new and keep it garaged and well-maintained. His response? “There’s nothing I can do.” He told me he’d fill out an incident report, but that it would go nowhere and that they weren’t at fault. Then he said, “I just work here,” as if that excused him from taking any responsibility. Duncan is not just an employee. He’s the grandson of the man who founded 5 Minute Car Wash. His father helps run it too. This is a family business, and their response to damaging a loyal customer’s car was to shrug it off and show zero accountability. I paid for the repairs out of pocket and I won’t be coming back. If you value your vehicle and expect even basic customer service, take it somewhere else. They don’t care about your car, and they certainly don’t care about you.

Car wash was great. Best fast car wash I’ve had thanks to the best employee there. Always ask for Luis to help in washing your car. He was very helpful and considerate when it came to getting rid of the dirtyness of my car. 5 stars!
