Touchless car wash & Wheel repair recommendations, Stamford

Hey guys,

Can anyone recommend a good touchless carwash in or around Stamford, CT (I'm willing to travel a little farther if need be)? Looking for a good way to remove all of this salt/sand from my car without damaging the paint.

I also need a recommendation for a good wheel repair shop in roughly the same area. The previous owned curbed the hell out of my 162's so I'm hoping to get a quote for repairing them.

Thanks in advance!

Birdies in Rye offers a steam wash for around $30 I think... never used them, but planning on it when I get my first winter wash.

The Shell station's address is:
805 Post Rd, Darien, CT

I've used it a few times. In the winter, you should probably call, they often have it closed due to cold weather. Once when they were opened during the winter, the liquids were frozen so all I got was a nice water rinse.

Splash in Darien, 251 Post Rd, Darien, CT, has four self wash car bays which starts at $4 for four tokens which last 4 minutes. The best part about this is that it's extremely high pressure water, soap, wax. There's also like a long broom/brush thing which is good for scrubbing the undercarriage of your car.

Wheel repair, I'd recommend Proformance Industries at 55 Plain Ave, New Rochelle, NY. It's 20-25 minutes from Stamford.

Thanks, Luigi. I'll probably check them out if and when this snow ever stops

I made a special trip to the Shell station at this address and there was definitely no car wash

Sorry, my mistake. Looks like I googled the wrong one. It's definitely at the corner of Heights Rd. and Noroton Ave. in Darien, CT. I double checked using Google Maps satellite.

Hahaha thank you -- this is only 6 minutes from my place according to google maps, so I'll definitely check it out in the next few days.

Finally made it to this place last weekend. Although I sat in line for literally one hour, the wash was excellent for a touchless and I will definitely return.

Thanks again for the recommendation!

You're welcome! Wow, an hour is a long wait. The most I've waited for is just one car in front of me.
