Hey everyone, Where are some locations for good DIY car washes, ie bays with a pressure washer, vaccum etc. Preferrably downtown, but any suggestions would be great to generate a list for others who are looking. It's definately time for some spring cleaning.
Jacinto's Shell Gas Station. Dundas west of Lansdowne just before Howard Park. They have vacuum's, power wash car washes and also the old school auto-car wash.
My garage and driveway? Vacuum cleaner, power washer, long hose, polisher (but bring your own pads & chemicals), air compressor to get water out of crevices and emblems, lots of driveway space. Bathurst and Sheppard area. The neighbours would love to witness a Ferrari car wash day. They have been bugging us to get another event ever since the FCA Europa rally in 2002 ended at our house. Also, -Bathurst several blocks south of 401 on East side has a do-it-yourself wash. Gerrit http://dino308gt4.com
If your further west..Queensway Cawthra Rd carwash and Coin-op. Nice clean up to date place with a Sunoco gas station on the prpperty..Owned by a great guy..Lots of vac's and other stuff you may need while cleaing your car. Even have interor scent sprays and stuff (in case ya farted )
thts a good 1 also out west on dundas just west of mavis @ the canadian tire.... really gud 1 i go there all the way from downtown watch out for big linees on saturdays and rice.... almost always there there used to be one on o'conner and overlea area. my dad used to take me there all the time... haven't been in a while, ne1 kno if it is still open. while we are @ it, lets start a thread for carwashed to avoid. DIY's: on dupont, a lot west of bathurst on the north side. vaccum wuz okay but the bay wuz full of **** and foam brush wasn't even a brush.. another on bathurst, north of dupont, stay clear
There's another coin op that Ive used often in the Beaches at Kingston Rd and Queen E. Its indoors and heated, which is nice in the winter for a quick hose off.
Queen just east of Dufferin, across from the Drake. Not the nicest but they are hard to find downtown.
Oh yesss, probably the oldest coin-op in the city. Man I have been going there for overever! And now I love going there because as you say, the Drake is across the street. Women galore my friends!
By far the best do it yourself wash is in the Esso at the north-east corner of Yonge and Steeles. It is fantastic. It is indoors super clean and each bay has a vacuum. I do not remember exactly but it has about 10 or 12 bays. Each one also has compressed air for interior cleans and lock de-icing. You can take the time to dry your car off etc as well. Cost....75 cents per minute. Bill
I used the car wash at Kingston Rd. and Queen St. in the Beaches today, and was pretty happy with it. $3 for 4 min (or 3min? I'm not sure, I was too busy washing to look at the clock), $1 for towels for a wipedown to prevent water spots. On the way I even had a rare spot, a black MR2 roadster with CT plates.
Yes, very true. That's Rosen's (Esso). Awesome coin wash with all that good stuff you mentionned You always see some nice cars up in that area too.
