okay...i guess it's safer to go there than places like bashir or rent-a-benz then?...i dun wanna spend $50 for a wash in places mentioned above...since i still have prepaid in downtown autospa and not gonna buy packages from other places 4 now...

my only concern is the quality of soap they use...i never use the soap in those coin-op places

I've used the Kits Cheveron (4th and Macdonald) and it does the job. It's a stationary touchless so the only main issue is water spots, but that's ok. IMO it actually does a job better than the tunnel style touchless I was used to back in Toronto and definitely a lot less work than washing it myself.

i've lived in toronto for a few yrs and it's amazing how the water spots iced up soon after i got out of the touchless wash in winter lol

good price but how's the quality? i've been to places like bashir, showtime, grandprix in rmd w/ my old ride...but not once w/ my new ride coz rumors are that the clothes used in these places aren't top quality and would leave scratches

ya, you are NOT gonna expect new clothes everytime,, they probably re-use over and over again..

Your car is AW right? I am pretty sure after a quick touchless wash, and then DIY vaccum @ the gas station, your car will look pretty clean!

Tried searching but haven't found anything that answers my question exactly.

Can anyone recommend a touchless car wash in Vancouver?

My sister just bought her first car and I'd like to buy her some car wash gift certificates or something. I'm looking for something close to Cambie and Broadway. And not too expensive, like $10 or less per wash.

Thanks.
