Hi guys, Does anyone know of any places in north Scottsdale where you can wash your car yourself? I'm looking for something pretty basic, just a bay that gives me access to water so that I can do a 2 bucket wash on my car. I don't need anything other than a hose. So far I haven't been able to find any sort of DIY place up here. Thanks
If all you are looking for is a hose, I'm assuming you live in a house, why not use that. If not, drive around. Try doing a search on Google Maps I'm in Tempe and there is one on McDowell called Buggy Bath, but it is fairly run down looking. I couldn't find any in Tempe, so I just use Danny's Family car wash and place opened up near me offering $3 car washes. I don't own a Ferrari, so those work fine for me, I wish they were touchless though.
I also looked some months ago, and gave up on finding anything close in N. Scottsdale. I just carry a 1gal sprayer with soapy water in my boot to rinse the car off, plus microfiber towels and Detail spray. I just find a place to park near a show or event, and have at it. Takes an hour to do a good job, though.
Hi, I wish I knew of a place here in N. Scottsdale for you to have access to a DIY car wash but, to my knowledge, there is not one close by. If you don't find what you are looking for, please reach out to me (pit stop auto detailing), we do onsite car washes and are very particular about bringing out the best in a car wash. If you should have additional questions please let me know. If we can't help you this time please keep us in mind for the future. Take care! Marcus Pit Stop Auto Detailing 480.584.6115
Past Mc,Dowell on Hayden across from starbucks there is a self spray wash next to japanese grocery store. There is one in north scottsdale around the 101 and frank lloyd wright. I have seen it but i'm not 100% of the exact location. I swore it was on that parkway someplace.
I've never seen a Starbucks near there, or a grocery store. Are you sure it's McDowell? Can you post a map or a link if you can.
Thanks guys, you're pretty much confirming what I've been running into when searching for one. What would be nice is if Scottsdale Auto Salon reopens to have a DIY area at it. It would be perfect for it. Thanks for the offer Marcus, but I think you are a no go for me too. First because I like to wash and detail my cars. It's a nice distraction and my anal, OCD self then knows exactly what's happening. Plus, to also answer Ashwin's question, I can't wash a car at my condo. My HOA has a rule against it. I'm guessing you're onsite washes would also violate that rule. It's a real pain in the butt.
I've done this a few times. I'm also doing waterless and ONR washes in my garage. HOA can't catch me on those. I work from home, so the cars don't get too dirty and those usually get the job done. There's just those times you need a little bit more cleaning power. It's also good to get a real wash every once in awhile since detail spray and other items can build up over time and cause some hazing.
No no, I used the closest cross road to that on hayden, Sorry, I was wrong Not mcdowell and hayden it's thomas and hayden, Across the street from here 3300 N. Hayden Road Scottsdale, AZ 85251 aka starbucks, next to a rice shop. But yeah otherwise Pitstop is great, Scottsdale road and mc.kellips is the one agup is speaking of 3$ washes.
Cool, thanks for clarifying. Indeed, the $3 car wash place is free right now. I got my car washed from there already, the guy who was there told me they weren't open yet, but the first week that they are open there will be free car washes. It's not a touchless wash though. The vacuums are always free too.
