$60 detail came out 100x better than most of these Mobil retailers. Took their time and cleaned everything

I have kids in my constantly in my car so my seats have had stains on them for who knows how long. I finally gave in and got them cleaned by pony express and I was amazed! I thought I would never be able to get the stains out of my car. Thank you!
I would say room for improvement in the future! I think they forgot to take off some wax on my steering wheel so when I got into the car; my hands were covered with this waxy materialHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Adam F.Winter Gardens, San Diego, CA41Dec 16, 2023
the two men who worked there would not talk to me when I asked them where we pay. I even at one point hand one of the men put their hand up to me to get me to stop talking. they were able to speak to my husband and answer his question. Horrible service.

I've been going here off and on for years. Prices have increase but the quality has went down. The wash didn't even get my car clean in several areas, vacuums are just ok not allot of suction to actually vacuum, and they don't provide towels. I really want to give my $ to a local establishment but this place no better than the soapy Joe's down the street.

Took mine and my wife's car in yesterday for a wash. This was first time taking my car there that has aftermarket wheels and noticed during the wash a bunch of clunking and heard rattling while moving which seemed to me weird. I asked while they were drying it if the wheels looked OK as I heard the weird noises and they said yes and thought nothing of it until later that evening after went home got the wife's car washed at which point was dark. Checked today and the wheels were not ok. Went there and they said their wash couldn't have done it cause it's hard plastic and said it is curb rash. Please see photos of of the damage and photos of other side of what it supposed to look like. Every end of every spoke is damaged from when moved through. Would not recommend taking there. All prior washes had been great but won't be going anymore.

THIS IS THE SPOT!
Very fast drive thru service with FREE vacuums!
Parking after your car wash is wash too!
You can pay cash or card!
The reason for 4 stars is that the vacuums don't suck as well as other nearby locations but they also don't make you go deaf while you use them! Pick your poison LoL
BUT! It's still a quick and easy wash - feel free to swing by!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Tyler S.Santee, CA05Apr 24, 2023

This car wash is less than a mile from my home. The car wash was $5 when it first opened and stayed that way for a long time. I was going every two weeks. I get it, prices go up. It is now $11 for basic wash. A few times I have been there I have seen a couple workers going around to the side to smoke their pot. Five Star Express Car Wash 10055 Magnolia, Santee is $8 for basic wash plus they give a Mil discount. More stalls to dry your vehicle, compressed air, vacuume and vending machine of car scents. I will drive the extra mile for better service and accessories.
