Default Car Wash

Where's the best place to get a car wash in TV?

That's what I was going to suggest, but you have to be a member and the person making the inquiry may not be.

I saw they have 2 bays at Sams. They self-serve or automatic? There is also The Village Car Wash but looks like it may be a little pricey. http://thevillagecarwash.com/

Village Car Wash is a little pricey but they're good. They got the darn love bugs off my car.

Don't know this is the OP's case, but some of us can't physically wash our vehicles ourselves. However, I've heard that there is a service that will come to your house and detail your vehicle for you. Don't know it that's true, but either way detailing or even car washing might be a home service that TV could use!

I noticed today that in front of Lowe's they are in the process of building a car wash.

Skyguy, both lanes at the one at Sam's are automatic. One is touchless, the other is not. $6 for the works.....but as getdul981 stated, I believe you have to be a member.

There's also another car wash that's on the east side of 27/441 a bit south of 466. I believe it has one automatic bay that's touchless and about 3 others that are DIY.

Cool

The Villages Car Wash does a really nice job. I believe their least expensive wash is like $12.95, but that includes a full interior vacuum, cleaning all windows (inside and out) and hand drying. They wipe out all door jams and get any brake dust off your wheels...

A real bargain, if you ask me...

Yes, there is Sky... I've recommended them before... Its C&W Car Detailing. They come to your house and will do any service you want in washing your car. Wash is $10, Wash & Vac is $20. Wash and Hand Wax, $45. They have done complete detailing of the inside of my car and it was excellent. You can reach them at 352 399 1214 Mon-Sat.

The Shell station at the corner of Buenos Aires and 441 has an automated bay with brushes. Basic was is $6. It doesn’t like my credit card so I either feed it cash or fill my tank and add the wash. The printed receipt has a code to enter at the wash entry.

I'm looking for an update about C&W Car Detailing. I haven't heard anything about them for a couple of years now and found nothing helpful through a Google Search. Any updating comments about this service?

Depends on what you want done,,, just water soap and brushes swirling your paint up,, go to sams or any drive thru car wash. I believe at the Villages Car Wash in Spanish Springs you also can get clay and other stuff done. If you value you auto like its a part of the family, then get a real detail done, but you will pay the price.

Like I always say,, get what you pay for. Big difference.
