So get this. I was coming back from a week-long getaway with the girlfriend in Baja. And while we stayed at a high-end hotel for that entire week, I made the mistake of parking my car under a tree. Well, a few days later, my car looked like it got bombarded by a squadron of pigeons.
The day we headed back home, New Years Day 2022, was the day every car wash in Baja, and in Sonora, decided to close. So I drove across the border, and stopped at the first gas stations that featured a drive-thru car wash.
This Speedway station didn't look too packed at all. I walked in to their convenience store, and bought their top-of-the-line drive thru wash. The patrons as well as the workers here were very friendly.
I then made my way back to my car, and drove around to sit in line for the car wash. This took far more time than I expected, and my wait was exasperated with the fact that I was hangry. But nonetheless, cleaning the mess those pigeons made on my car was a higher priority.
Once it was my turns to go into the car wash, I input my code on the monitor on the left, and I drove in.
The process was slow, but I soon learned the wait was worth it. While this drive-thru car wash looked antiquated, it turned out to be far more effective than the drive-thru carwashes back home. My car looked clean and shiny, and not a single bit of grime was left.
Other pluses to this station are: lower gas prices (this is Arizona, where the residents don't get taxed like we do in California), nice locals, clean station, safe surrounding area.
Whether you visiting Yuma, or just passing by, this is a good option for gas, snacks, and a car wash. read more
