Car Wash in Bothell, WA

“Papa Bears Auto Center is my go-to one stop shop for oil changes and getting advice/ service on auto repairs. They replaced my breaks on my old car, was able to source the parts and delivered to the shop within the hour. They also give you a free car wash for their services. The staff here is kind, knowledgable, honest and quick!”

“Great hidden surprise... Mobil on the outside but a very abundant selection of spirits, wines, beer, tobacco, vape... a bit of everything including ready-to-go chicken.”

“They just recently got a touchless carwash. The touchless car wash machine was absolutely great but the speaker system that tells you what is going on is ungodly loud. Also I've been told from many of my friends that you can get 110 octane here, for those aggressively tuned engines.”

“Overall, I love coming to this location of the Aloha Car Wash Company. The fact that this wash is fully touch less is great. The grounds are always kept in pristine condition (nice landscaping, no garbage, etc.). However There are two primary reasons I am not giving this wash the full five stars. The first being wait times. Due to the location of this wash (tucked in on the side of busy Bothell-Everett Highway) they aren’t able to fit a sufficient number of wash stalls. This leads to 20+ minute waits during peak hours, as well as cars backing up onto the main road (a safety hazard). Also, the way you enter the location is on the left side of the driveway — rather than the normal right. Recently, the roadway lines have faded away leading to confused drivers driving on the right side of the driveway, rather than the correct left. A simple repainting of the lines would solve this issue. The second reason for the lost star is that the wash doesn’t do the greatest job at removing stuck-on debris or sap spots. This is understandable due to the wash being touch less, but a pre-soak cycle at the beginning of every wash would likely make a huge difference.
I quickly want to mention prices as well. You can wash your car just as well for 5 dollars less up at the self-serve Brown Bear wash on 164th street. Though, I do believe the basic wash is worth the 10 or 11 dollars for the convenience. On cold winter days, you don’t always want to stand out in the freezing weather to wash your car yourself. I like the they allow you to purchase wash bundles to save yourself some money as well.”
