GTA Car wash recommendation

Hi all!

I am looking for good coin-op car wash stations for winter!
I like to do bucket wash outside, but during the winter it is FREEZING.

Is there any good indoor or hot water coin wash stations you guys would like to recommend?

Let me know! All the inputs are appreciated.

Happy Holiday!
Best regards,

For me it is less so for complete wash versus washing off the salt

Esso at yonge and steeles. Indoor and heated, I go there every two weeks to wash off the grime and salt. And it's ticket based system so you don't have to keep on putting in annoying coins all the time.

I have yet to try this place, however I've heard great things from a few of my buddies. Covered bays and they have an app that allows you to control how long you are washing your vehicle

Make sure you have towels and detail spray and a bucket. If your car is properly waxed or coated it should be much easier

Overpriced as f***, their whole system is out of whack in terms of how long you wash, and how much you pay.

Id rather take my car for a quick in and out wash at a actual detailing place, same money or less.

I pay about 10-12 bucks for about 15-20mins Im there. Other times I'm in and out ind 2 mins and cost couple of bucks. No other real options around the hood for a quick spray.
