Petrol station car wash

[Bieffe]

$4 is at Sim Ming Industrial Park. Near the Chevy showroom entrance. Near Vicom.

Never tried.

Too many malay boys car wash I will not go. They only know how to use bull strenght only!

Actully pro cleaners also not so good lah. I was at this "pro-groomer" called dunno what shine...then when i collect my car. I was suprised to see the big sxxt by a big bird still on the roof. I told them they did not clean it and the reply was it eat into the paint liao and there is nothing i can do abt it.

He then tried by rubbing POLISH on the sxxt and using all his might.....then say see cannot come out!

I went home use a wet tissue...all came out effortlessly.

I paid $70 for that sxxt job and since then have never gone back.

well well well.. at least better than Ah Neh washers that use detergent??

 

for me.. i still use car shampoo, just that i use normal cloth.. since the paintwork already gone case with scratches..

[Teckheng]

i recommend one at balestier road, after Balestier Plaza > Chicken Rice (Loy Kee ?) > Traffic Lights with a lighting shop > Right LEFT and Immd. LEFT again into the small alley.

 

3-4 workers one car.

$5-6 depand your car engine (?? puzzle me too, charge me $6 say my car 2000cc)

 

overall good work and somemore free sealent.

 

Saw they have Klasse a poster... hhmmmm

[Terenc3]

My Nissan Sunny - Never trusted such services. DIY wash to make sure its clean and clear for road use!

 

My Toyota Hiace - Van's are almost always dirty, will go for such washes weekly, but they never satify me.. Only make my van 50% cleaner......... S$7..

[Nhrisuzu]

how much for 3000cc??

 

if i go.. think at least $10 liao..

 

but anyway, got ah neh washer offered me before.. $50 for one month.. every night wash..

 

but i saw that they use normal detergent nia.. can't really help much..

[Ccssgm]

Below $4?

 

Where to find?

 

 

SEMBAWANG Road Opp Nee Soon Camp.. CALTEX $3.00 ONLY...

[Teckheng]

dunno wor...

 

by i think max is $6, i recommend it. Clean and they spray some protection after them shampoo off the car and spray the protection and wipe till dry.

[Auron]

usually those cupon one will cost less than $5 per wash.

[Syshi]

For those with coupon, better be carfeul... We don't want that end up with a lot of coupon when the operator close down... Like my case with the Caltex wash operator.. LKW... still got a lot of unuse coupon...

[Cactus]

bRO...

 

LKW car wash coupons still can use leh..

their other outlet at nee soon caltex still open mah.,

but the Q is always super damned looong.....

average wait 15 mins..

[Syshi]

Yup... tried once... waited half hour during 3pm time slot... wonder if after 6 or 7pm, what will be the waiting time...

[Smiley]

it's like that one lah. better than ah neh washing. 1 pail of water fr dunno how many cars.

[Smiley]

What you described is the norm for commercial car washes. They have so many cars to wash, will be so exhausted.

 

I even saw at Caltex Ang Mo Kio Ave 3, the man used the same sponge to clean the rims first, then the car body.

 

Commercial car washes shd be avoided if possible as :

 

1. Your rims & brake discs are hot & do not have time to cool down before they hose it down. Causes brake disc to warp & damages rims.

 

2. Applying shampoo on a hot bonnet spoils the paintwork (chemical reaction).

 

go before start of journey will prevent the above lor.

 

dun stupid stupid travel fm changi to tuas then go car wash lah.

Just came back from a fuel top up and car wash.

 

Visited Caltex Jurong west (near NTU) and saw S$ 3 off car wash promo which seems to be a good deal (regular price S$ 7/-)

 

After paying for petrol and got the voucher, drove over to car wash bay.

 

The workers immediately gave me "black face" (as if I have confiscated their off time, cos they are just idling around) when I drove into the washing bay. One of them even shouted w gestures at me.

 

After rinsing off, drove to side waiting for drying. A lady (PRC) came by and just did a "wayang wayang" drying job (the whole car still dipping wet ).

 

Totally not satisifed for the dollar paid. I will NOT ever patronise this outlet car wash again and my advice to other drivers here

 

It really don't worth paying S$7 (regular price) for the sloppy work.

 

I will patronise other petrol stations

 

Cheers.

[WTF]

You can try the Shell at Boon Lay. Not bad but always got queue. Shell Alexandra and Toa Payoh also good!

 

Recently also kena a sub-standard one at Shell Pasir Panjang. My whole car from side mirror to car boot still dripping water, he can tell me ok liao.

I will not pay more than $4 for petrol kiosk car wash..

 

Macperson caltex there just before PIE entrance, near Siemen, $4 wash all day long.

 

I always wash mine there.

[Vroomtattat]

Har har . . . that's why I would rather wash the car myself.

 

Now my car so many scratch marks due to sand particles in the cloths they use

 

BTW, is it okay if I pass them my sponges and wash cloths to use on my car instead?
