i go to bayview and major mack.

if the weather is nice, odds are its going to be rammed.
best bet is to go early in the morning or late at night

Martin Grove/7, there is a CanTire gas station. It has about 4 to 6 bays.

7 between Bayview/Leslie, Shell station, 6 or 7 bays. I go to this one all the time.

And as mentioned above, Bayview/Major Mac, but it is the 2 car-stacking system, lots of room inside the bay, but lack of outside drying/parking space, weird setup IMO.

JP, come to my house for free soap and water. Bring your nice rims but leave the lock nuts at home.

Steels & Islington, is one not covered,i think it has 7 or 8 bays, i go there, the dollar per time value is very good, its i think 2 mins for the first 2 dollar then slot in another 2 you get more time then the first its about 6.59 mins, then put one more dollar, for 5 dollars you get 9.59 mins.


all these are good, but i found the esso one on steels and islington as best bank for the buck, and i go there late at night and its safe, there are taxi cabs there the gas station too.

5 dollars for 10 minutes is good deal. I usually use 4 dollars only, 2 per cycle. Depending on size of vehicle, I usually tap the soap brush all over the car first so I don't run out of time. Then I have enough soap foam to brush the entire car at my own pace. The remaining 2 dollars is just for mad spray. My friend has done entire car for 2 dollars before, but you need two person (one to hold the hose) and have to be mad quick.

When I go visit my folks, I will do the car wash there instead.

^I'm laughing as I read your post Nova Dust. I use to do that when my brother comes along. A really good way to stretch your dollar. Also be careful when you use that brush. I scratched my paint before. Just tap it on the walls of the wash bay to get out all the debris before you use it.

I like the one at Major mac and bayview

you're right, no parking for drying, but normally i don't care enough to dry my car. If i did, i would wash my car at home.


They give you 3 minutes for 2 i think. can't remember... they use hot water..
personally 3 minutes is decent enough for me, but i have hassle my *** to get in a good soaping and rinse before i run out of time.

You need a time keeper to holla every 30 seconds lol.

Nova_Dust

Ya I always spray/clean the brush before I use it. It is not too bad most of the time.

fingolfin

no lie...
I look insane... im running around my car at top speed slipping and hitting my head with the cord, getting all wet

but its all worth it to save that $1

Cynikal.Mindset

just bring a bucket and let the soap brush fill that up...and then use a sponge to sponge the car after you run around it generally cleaning with the brush....take like an hour in the bay, **** people off hahaha

si_ponz

great idea!

Roll_outz

YOU CAN DO THAT LATE @ NIGHT BUT NOT DURING THE DAY OR ELSE PEOPLE START YELLING AT YOU... I DID THAT TOO BUT OLD MAN GET MADD...

fingolfin

Yah man, at the major mac/ bayview location the guy who watches the place will rip u a new one... I once started soaping the car before I inserted my money

he went nuts yelling I was trying to get a free car wash...
which ofcourse I wasn't..


crazy old people

you guys should check out the one on islington & steels, you don't need to wash the brush, the brush slot is running with hot water all the time so the brush is dipped in there and it stays clean and warm, even soft.

xray

Once I found like 6 loonies sitting on top of the coin box in the wash bay. Score!
