Where to wash car in Yonge/finch (self wash)

[IMWHFMPC]

Does anyone know where are the coin car wash places near yonge/finch? I always have to go to victoria park/ellesmere to get coin car wash, wondering if there are places closer?

thanks

None around Yonge & Finch

Esso - self serve - Yonge & Steeles

Next closest one - Bathurst & Just S of 401 .. 7/11 store. Personally, I do not like this facility.

Do 4 drive-bys and see what you can find.

This is the best one, easy to use, pretty modern. The Esso has an automated wash too, make sure you read the signs and don't go into the wrong one. I was in the self wash once and some dude pulled in and sat in the entrance, then after a while rolled down his window and yelled that nobody was coming to wash his car.

So did someone tell him to go to the other lane and keep the windows down, so it'll also do theinterior wash.

dufferin n finch esso, I think the one in steeles use rails which can scratch ur rims

The one @ 7/11. The equipments kind of old / run down and this was my experience a couple of years ago.

I work near Dufferin & Lawrence and I go to the one @ Keele / 1 block S of Lawrence (only during winter time for simple quick spray). Further down on Keele (just above Eglinton) is another coin wash (slightly better equipments). Both are charging in the 70 cents to 75 cents per minute.

The self wash doesn't have rails, you just park in a washing bay and wash.

I just rinse the car real quick as well as wash off the brush, then I use the foam brush and apply it over the car.
After, I wash the car down with soap and finally rinse it again, making sure to get underneath the car as well as the inner fender walls.
This usually takes 5 minutes to do the whole car.

The Shiny Time Car Wash at Bathurst and Lawrence is pretty good, usually no line ups and everything is pretty nice.
