Crystal is a Sydney-area chain of car washes. This one's on my way to work and I stop in quite frequently.
They're not the cheapest: a wash and an inside clean is about $28. A "super" wash is about $33. But they take good care, do a good job, and aways come back to clean the extra surfaces that are exposed when I put my convertible top down.
Like many Oz car washes you get a free coffee of your choice while your car's being cleaned, and it's well-made. You get a free newspaper to keep. The waiting lounge is very nice; there's a separate outdoor smoking room.
You're notified when your car is clean by an LED number indicator and a loud beep.
It's an extremely civilised way to wash your auto. read more
