Full Service Car Wash?

Kate,

The only one I know of is on Elm Street in Manchester on Elm street south of the city center and on the east side of the street. Beyond that there is a place on rt. 3 between Laconia and I93. Not a pull or drive through but he does do a pretty good job. Take a book you will be a while.

No guarantees that the Manchester place is still in businees. I haven't been there in 3 or 4 years.

Wait a minute....wash the car, hand dry it, vacuum it out, wipe down the inside, and oh, by the way, do the windows....FOR 12 BUCKS???!!!
Let us all know when you find that place. I'm in!

I use to go to that car wash. Loved it because they did my windows which I hate doing and am terrible at. They still exist but don't do all the extras. Just a car wash now.

I heard the onein Meredith is good on the hill but haven't tried it yet so can't recommend.

If you mean the one opposite the Volvo dealer.....then sorry.....do no recommend it because it is a very brief wash.....not enough splash for the cash.....60-seconds wash and it's all over.....suggest you check out the other Meredith car wash just beyond Aubuchon Hardware which costs about $10-12 and takes about 5-minutes. You drive around behind it and up a little hill to get into the one touchless car wash bay. It also has three el cheapo, do-it-yourself, $2.75 wash bays which usually work terrific for removing winter salt and getting under the car, if you don't want to be spending the $10-12 at the touchless Simonize bay.

You won't be detailing your car yourself once the cold weather sets it unless of course you won't mind washing it in 20 degree weather (and having the suds freeze before you even get them off.) Better find a good, reasonable detailer you will use their services from Early December through April.
