I know $3 @ Kennedy/Finch get you 5 mins. Do you know how long the other one last? Interested in going to the one at Vic Park & Ellesmere, is it generally busy with its 12 bays? I usually go to the one at Kennedy/Finch because I can wash my car in 5 mins, but they are always VERY busy on a half decent day.

Hey, thanks for the list. I had known about the one on Kennedy, though I had never used it, but now I'm tempted to go try Coincarwash.

I believe all $3 place i've listed are all 5min....i maybe wrong..
but all $2 place are 4min...

in coincarwash.ca, i use my first $3 to spray soap/water,wash
car and wash foam brush (incase there are dirts/stones/sand), then foam the entire car with the other gun (tri-colour foam soap blower?)
once my minutes are up, i j/ grab the brush and start brushin' my car,
put another $3 to rinse/wax etc.....lastly, i pull out my california water blade, and blade off excessive water and drive off~

my technique is, never use ur minutes while usin' the foam brush....
have soap all around the car, once minutes are up, then brush ur car...

so i usually spend a total of $4 @ the $2 bays, and $6 @ the $3 bays

I went to coincarwash.ca this evening, found out that $3 is 4 mins there. I also found out that if you put a $5 bill into the token machine instead of the change machine, you will get 6 tokens (1 token = $1) instead of $5. So you get a deal for buying tokens! :)
I did exactly what you did minus the foam brush. I never use foam brush in those coin-ops, with my black car, I can't stand any scratches or swirl marks. I wish my car is white. > :(

I go to the one on Sheppard in between Mccowen and Markham Road. I cant remember the name of the exact road but it's a gas station also and it's near a Tim Horton.
