Car Washes in PDX? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

JayNutter · 11-13-2012, 05:03 PM

Anyone know of a good car wash in the pdx area? I used to take my car through the standard gas station washes, but I don't want to risk scratching the paint (b/c it's black).

Touchless doesn't seem to clean it very well.

Any suggestions for a good car wash that I don't need to worry about scratching the car?

fyi, I am lazy and would prefer to pay someone $25-35 to wash it for me.

There's one on 122nd and it's all DIY near the albertsons/safe way. But you can pay people to do it too.

I use a touchless for my truck and it works OK, but took the FR-S through it and it didn't do a very good job. Sorry.

You must go to a reliable car wash dealer. They will assure you that your car wont get even a single scratch.

There's on in Corvallis and its touch less I used it a couple times. Works great.

The one by the convention center, next to Wendy's and Burgerville is good. Its the big one in the corner when you keep going straight from the Broad way bridge from the Pearl District. Its machine, but they vacuum the car for you, towel dry the car and shine the tires/rims, all for $17

Carriage car wash in Beaverton is pretty good. Touch-less, and they do a pretty good job. $25 bucks for "the works".

Can't beat a good ol' hands on in-the-driveway wash and wax.
