Larkfield Car Wash

Ditto to Gregory’s comment: “Its ok. The brushes for washing your car are chintzy and filthy.” Dirt didn’t come off part of my car and vacuums were so-so.

June 2025: This location is NOT closed!! I live a block away and it is always in use. I wish the owners--in the Liquor store next door-- would correct the misinformation, but I don't think they're social media type people.

Really nice manual car wash station. Using your quarters and manual labor you can really clean up your car with a breeze. With strong hoses and a very nice brush your car can look really amazing if you give it that love. After the wash you move your car and there are vacuums there to use which also take quarters. I leave this wash satisfied everytime because I am the one washing my car in every nook and cranny.

It is a little bit pricey for a self-serve car wash $2.50 to start with and not much time increments with additional money! But it is definitely cheaper than going to an automatic/attendant car wash. Not only that, you get to burn some calories ;). The foam brush option appears to be a rip-off - half the time, you wonder if it's even foaming/working! The vacuum service costs $1.00 to start with. There's a machine that gives you quarters for bills - it only takes $1 and $5 and the drying towel machine ($0.75) didn't have any towels at this time. Overall, I would say this is not a bad option given your choices.

Car wash only takes quarters, there is a change making machine that takes 1's and 5's though. It is $3.00 for 2 minutes and 50 seconds of car washing time, so you have to work fairly quickly. There are quite a few options, pre-wash, wash with soap, a hand held washing brush that also dispenses soap and a water rinse and a wax option. It is quite a challenge to cycle through all the options in the allotted time frame though. Vacuum is $1.00 for 4 minutes of use, it took $2.00 to sufficiently vacuum my mid size suv. The car did come out pretty clean for the limited time we had to work in.
