How do I cancel my Take 5 Car Wash membership?

Cancelling your Take 5 Car Wash membership, step by step

1. Start in the Take 5 Car Wash app or online account — in-app cancellation, where it exists, is the fastest and leaves a timestamp.
2. Can't cancel online? Email or use the contact form, spell out your plan and the date you want it to end, and screenshot the confirmation.
3. Beat the next billing date by a few days so you aren't charged for another month.
4. Take the RFID tag off the windshield (and de-register your plate if the wash uses cameras) so it can't quietly re-enroll you.
5. Check your card for two cycles and chargeback any post-cancellation charge Take 5 Car Wash doesn't refund.
