ATTN: 626 people... self car wash places? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

8R6 · 12-18-2014, 01:38 PM

Hey all,

I'm moving to San Gabriel area in a week and was trying to look up some decent self car wash places. I love the one near by my place right now in Redondo Beach cuz it's clean and maintained well, and hardly ever too crowded (only twice in 2 years did i have to wait longer than 5min).

anyway, wondering where yall wash your cars for those that don't do it at home. my new place won't allow car washes on the property

thanks in advance and see you guys around there soon!

I just moved down to So-Cal, so excuse me if this isn't in the "626 San Gabriel" area but I go to Wave Car Wash. 5144 Arrow Highway Montclair, CA 91763

Nothing beats the price, $1.75 for 3 minutes! No place that good anywhere else.

I go to both of these car washes:

For both of these places, I like to enter from the alley way to avoid scraping.

I beg to differ, I go to one off the 91 freeway on paramount. its $2 for 7 min after 11pm AND it has a blower

Holy sh!t. It usually takes me like 40+ mins to wash my car D:

Choco · 05-14-2015, 02:48 AM

Oh yeah, I'm only washing my car at this place now:
10030 LOWER AZUSA RD
EL MONTE, CA 91731-1116

It has an air dryer, spot free clean stuff, and wheel cleaner unlike the other car washes I mentioned last time.
It was like $1 for 3 minutes, $5 for 15 minutes(or maybe it was $3 for 15... I forgot). I only went once(2 weeks ago) but it's cause I wash my car at home and I only go to these coin things to wash car as a hang out thing with friends.

i now just wash my car inside my garage using ONR and 1-bucket method. AWESOME results and most convenient way imo

You're leaving the Westside for SGV?!?!

Anything near Pasadena? I know of a place near East Colorado and Lotus Ave, but that place is not well maintained and the nozzles don't provide a features on knobs
