Carwash Recommendations
 
Hey guys, was wondering if anyone can recommend a decent carwash place that doesn't cost more than 50 bucks. I'd love to take my car to detailaddict but it's a pain keeping it clean without a garage. my car sits under an overhang so I think spending 125 per wash is a bit too much for the time being.

love their work, just cannot afford it at this time.

any other inexpensive options would be great!

damn lol I pay 23.95 and my car gets washed off the line full handwash/interior vacuum and wipe down because it's to low for the rails. I just have to come on slow days.

I recommend washing it yourself. takes 30 mins max and only cost $30 to buy everything you need :thumbsup:

I would, bum left shoulder this week as well as not having the equipment yet makes me want to just take it to someplace to have it done quickly.

Not looking for a detailer shop, just someone who can do a quick hand wash on the car.

AJs on Coleman in San Jose does a nice hand exterior wash for $35.

I'm gonna try the Mcarthy ranch hand wash in Milpitas soon to see if it's any good.

I've heard a lot of good things about AJs on Coleman.

Looks like we have a winner!! AJs it is. McCarthy scratches.. my Camry was a victim.

I guess I'll stick to AJs then. They have a long wait on the weekends though. Go before 8am if you need a weekend wash.

I go on lunch during the week.

WOW, I can't believe what some of you pay. The only place that washes my car does everything by hand and does it all very good for $9.95.

I'll probably head there in about 1/2 an hour or so to see if they can quickly do a hand wash. I hope they don't go stepping all over the interior though. That's the only thing I want to avoid.

They'll do whatever you tell them. Expensive car washes is a customer service biz more than anything.

aren't you guys scared of all the scratches by them using one big bucket for all cars? and the towels who knows what else they've wiped with. or are the places u mentioned use kind of other method.
