Whistle Express is officially rolling out its newly expanded brand in Colorado, renovating and upgrading former Take 5 Car Wash locations across the state. That’s especially good news if your car needs a good scrub. Through Sunday, February 8, 2026, you can visit any of the 15 Colorado Whistle Express locations to receive a totally FREE car wash.

The $29 Fortify Car Wash is the top-of-the-line option and includes just about everything imaginable one could get at a car wash including polish & seal, underbody wash, UV protection, water repellent, ceramic shield, quick-dry agent and more.
MHOTC reader Art reports that he took advantage of the freebie and “all Whistle Express asks for is your name, phone number and email,” he said in an email.
Fourteen Take 5 locations across the Denver metro area have reopened as Whistle Express, with additional participating sites in Colorado Springs and Grand Junction.
The Colorado takeover follows months of operational upgrades designed to revolutionize the customer experience. Former Take 5 locations have been equipped with updated wash technology, refreshed equipment, improved cleaning systems, and retrained teams focused on speed, consistency, and quality.
What Customers Will Notice

Colorado is serving as the pilot market for Whistle Express’ nationwide brand rollout. Insights from the launch will guide future market conversions as the company rebrands former Take 5 locations across the country over the next 18 months.
Participating locations include 15 across the Denver metro area and Grand Junction, with an additional five Colorado Springs locations later this month.
