About Self Service Car Wash
Self Service Car Wash is a no-frills and very dated DIY facility. It operates 24x7 and is fairly accessible. The business has a number of washing and drying stations, with equipment that is always ready to use, clean, and works well. Brushes, sprayers, and such are all kept in good order. Everything is coin operated, using small dollar coins, and the coin machines work well. However, the change machine does not take twenty-dollar bills. There are no time meters, so users must learn by experience, and a full deep cleaning may take more than two cycles. A common drawback is that visitors usually have to wait, as the place can be busy and would benefit from being a little bigger. The location is along the train tracks, an area noted for many homeless people and shady characters. The hose can be used to keep them away if they approach to beg for money. There are no attendants for assistance in the morning. Overall, it provides a low-price option for those who like to wash their car themselves.

Edit : May 15 2025. 5 minutes on Bay 2 cost me $7 (I timed it). Just saying. 😂
They don’t take 20 dollar bills! And no quarters, no credit cards. I guess I’ll have to come back.

Not a bad car wash. It has plenty of bays and good pressure, but you can only use $1 coins as tender, which is slightly inconvenient. I wish credit cards could be used here.
