I like washing my car with a wand, as opposed to driving my car into an automatic car wash. I find that I can get a workout and remove tough spots off my car better with a hand wand.
Last week, I put in three days of work in two days getting information that I needed extremely late. I took Monday off as a lieu day. What did I want to do first on my day off? Wash my car. Yeah, I'm weird.
After vacuuming my car at a local gas station, I went to my favourite car wash with the hand wands to discover that it had closed down. I actually circled around the block to make sure that I wasn't losing it. Yep, it was closed for good.
Instead, I visited this Petro-Canada where I used to go to wash my car. It has been around for years and is reliable.
There are six car wash bays. There were two that were available. I backed my car into one of them and was happy.
I tend to bring coins whenever I am off to vacuum and wash my car. Each car wash bay accepts coins and tap methods, such as credit and debit cards, Google Pay, and more. Considering that I had a horrible experience with the tap methods at the Shell station before coming here, I stuck with coins.
It's $4 for a standard wash. I tend to pay $6 or $7, as I do the whole pre-soak, soap, rinse, and wax steps. I find it relaxing washing my car. Again, I'm different.
There are clips for you mats on the wall. I was so happy to wash and rinse those clean. They looked ugly going in, but are so clean and cheerful now.
My car had got a car wash at the dealership when I was there in August. There were spots that were still present on my car after that wash, which I got off here.
The walls are concrete and you can barely see the folks on either side of you. It's perfect for physical distancing.
I can't recall coming here to fuel my car in my life. I have always come here to wash my car. There is a convenience store if you need snacks or pay for your gas purchase.
There are also vacuums at this station. I don't normally use them because they are always in use. Sure enough, both vacuums were occupied the entire time that I was there.
If you want to wash your car with a hand wand in northern Scarborough or southern Markham, this place is decent.
