Used The Villages Car Wash a couple of days ago. Will never return. Hadn't been washed for quite some time so I went for the top of the line - mistake...
Got out of the car 15 minutes later at Publix and there was a new light scratch on the side of the front right fender and water spots all the way down the side. My driveway has a new purpose in life....

Hope this info helps.

We paid $28 in Woodbridge, Va., for the basic car wash where you got out of the car and it went through the wash and about 15 Hispanics dried it when it came out.

You had to pay about $95 for one where it got washed, vacuumed, windows washed and dried. I pay $10 in rural NC for the carwash at the convenience store where I sit in the car as the touchless system cleans the outside.

I think $11.95 is a steal. Thanks for the information. We've wondered about The Villages Car Wash. These are car prices, right. Not golf carts.

Do the car washes get the love-bugs off the cars?

One thing that you might find helpful is to use a good quality wax, at least on the front of your car during love bug season (May and Sept) . If you get them you need to get them off immediately rather than waiting to go the car wash (yes, they get them off). I use a spray and clean them off each night..it only takes a few minutes and you avoid damage to your paint. I think if they dry on your car they start to damage the paint within 24 to 48 hours.

I have had my car washed at Village Car Wash fairly frequently and find they are, in fact, very polite and competent and do a good job in the drying of the car which is important to me as I hate the streaking that occurs if not dried thoroughly. They do take a bit longer than most car washers, but they do a thorough job, even on the wheels.

I go with KK's Mobil Auto Detailing, 352-429-8991. They come to the house and do an excellent job. It is $20 and they will include a cart. I also have them do a clay bar wax on the cars once a year. I think that is $40.

Just had my car washed at Villages car wash yesterday and they did a very good job! If you get your oil changed there at the same time they will knock 10$ off the price of the car wash. And a free deoderizer, my car smells like Pina Coladas!

What did they charge for the oil change and wash?

What kind of oil?

How long did it take?

Did you leave your car and come back at an estimated completion time?
