Automatic car washes in Glasgow?

StatusRed · Feb 21st, 2018, 18:59

Anyone aware of any other automatic car washes in Glasgow, apart from the Sainsburys Braehead one (it's currently out of order)?

Automatic car washes seem really hard to find now-a-days

You trust your car to an automatic car wash !!! You are certainly braver than me.
The only time I used one it tried to rip my mirrors off and scratched the paintwork.

I accept not everyone in a city has facility to wash their car themselves, especially if living in a flat or tenament but we're I in that situation I would be looking for a hand car wash. Around my way it's a fiver and they dry it off for that.

Agree with green van man here,I wouldn't even take my car to one of those-and the paintwork on mine is totally shot to begin with!

I wash my car myself when I'm back at my parents with a big driveway etc.. whereas here in Glasgow I live in a tenement flat.

I don't actually trust hand car washes, I'm worried they're going to spray the jet too hard at my parking sensors or painted calipers and damage it so I'd rather go through an automatic wash, it's also quicker and less awkward.

If anyone knows of other ones in Glasgow please let me know.

Not in the Glasgow area at the moment, but my memory tells me that there is one on Springburn Road, just north of Hawthorn Street. It is showing on googlemaps, but that might be out of date

I'm pretty sure IMO Car Wash on the southside of Glasgow is automatic, might head there after work..
