Cyclon car wash in Tsuen Wan is one of a rarity in Hong Kong: its both a car wash and full service…read moregarage at the same time. They may even organize your MOT testing for you. Whilst this may be a common feature overseas, in a land where space is a premium this car wash certainly sets itself apart. Judging from the number of customers on a weekend you will see that they do their job well (note: it is not recommended that you go at the weekend as the queues are long and the quality does tend to suffer). The car wash for a saloon currently costs 138 which is a fair price given how labour intensive the process is- at one pointed I counted over 8 people working on a car. They also go above and beyond the car where they would clean not only the visible parts, but the panel gaps as well as doing some very rudimentary checks on water levels and tire pressure. They offer other cleaning and waxing services which again from past experience is well worth the money they charge (they are a little bit more expensive than their competitors). Maintenance wise they have a full workshop that will do both emergency repairs and routine maintenance. The staff are helpful and certainly better than what I have experienced elsewhere where most people simply try to fleece you to part away with as much cash as possible.

The Japanese have a way with cleanliness- they seem to have this obsession with keeping everything…read morepristine; this seems to apply in every area of their lives including their cars. Keepree Pro is Japanese brand that was brought over to Hong Kong a couple of years ago, their marketing gimmick being that they offer a "no-touch" foam wash where by instead of strips of cloth turning on a roller, they have this huge foan sprayer that would "wash" or coat your car without so much as a fibre touching your car. This keeps it clean and avoid unintentional scratching by the rollers. Does it work? Hell yes. If there was a place to watch a car wash this would be the place. The shop floor isn't huge but in all honesty they keep it exceptionally clean, there is no clutter of any form in the working area and this is quite rare in Hong Kong. Moreover, they do stick to their world when it comes to giving the ultimate care not to scratch your vehicle, the foam system seems to work really well here. Judging from the other cars that were parked there waiting to be waxed (which by the way was also a miracle maker); this place must perform quite well. Aside from the machine itself, the meticulous attention they pay to every sill and corner in the vehicle is also a bonus point. Around 4 people work on your car in cleaning both the interior and drying the car. Brilliant. What are the downsides? Its not cheap- 180 HKD for a complete wash is on the high side but given the part of the town its in (middle of Wanchai) I am willing to pay the premium for the location. Apart form that, queues are often quite long and that means you either keep doing circles around the block to wait for them to take your car (they do run out of space to take your car on). If you are really into detailing your car then you might say you can do it yourself. But if you are in town and looking for a good clean wash of your car then look no further.

Car washes in Hong Kong are usually quite pedantic compared to overseas ones- we are more careful…read moreabout what we put onto the car, how we dry it whether we wax it and in general I'd like to think that we take better care of our cars here. This place is a well established carwash chain that was probably the first ones to introduce automated car washing machines in Hong Kong. their name translates as "The Computer Carwash House" which tells you that they came in from a time when there weren't many of these places. They have done well to preserve their name and for that they have expanded themselves greatly all over Hong Kong. As with all chains though, there are better and worse ones. This one is a good one that I went to recently where, although they had what seemed like all the cars in Hong Kong coming at once, they were extremely helpful and telling you when to come back or how you could wait here. These are little things that count. Their shop front may not be the prettiest but I guess in this part of town and with little choice- you are stuck with them. I'm just glad that they are a good one.

Public transportation is expensive though. It is around 6 dollars from Sha Tin MTR to HKSTP by minibus. You do that two times a day and it adds up. People here are very very very shy. They do not disclose of what they are working on to you. I came from Silicon Valley and this is not the same culture we are used to. Everyone here is doing something great and should share to the world what they're doing. The staff at HKSTP are really trying to make things work for us. However, they have a misconception about the entrepreneurs. They try to do all these 'fun' events like X-mas parties, but turns out no one goes. Actually no one gives a hell because all we do is just work and go home. Decor is nice. Very techy. Even has a Tesla charging station in the carpark.

This carpark is a savior for those who live nearby. Tsing Yi, to those who don't know it, has an…read moreacute shortage of parking spaces- especially for those who live above the station. Back in the day and for a short time I was the proud owner of two cars- or I should say I bought one before I could sell the old one. Though I was on verge of selling the old one, that still meant that I had to live with two cars and one parking space for about a week. This meant I had to find somewhere to park quick. The Tsing Yi Sportsground proved to be a savior. The parking rates here are relatively cheap- 12 HKD./ hr normally and overnight parking is 60 HKD which I find to be very fair. What you get is a huge open air carpark that is well lit, well patrolled and the only drawback would be the fact that it is open ground. You can't have it all as they say. You will find that a lot of people actually park here instead when they go to maritime Square as that place is constantly jammed up and the queues back up for a mile and parking here makes no difference at all. It takes no time to get to the mall. As with all public sports ground, you would not be advised to park here for prolonged periods of time as the charges are incremental and eventually you may be better off just parking in the mall or station carpark anyways. However, if they ever did a monthly deal I'm sure the spaces will be taken up in no time. Of course, we keep forgetting that this carpark is actually here to cater for the sports ground users and it so happens that many people live near it. Best value? Yes Long Term Parking? No. Anything else? Ask the attendant.

A few days ago I was filling up here and I cast myself back thinking: when was the first time I…read morecame here to fill up? Fact is: I don't remember. Why? Well a) its a petrol station there really isn't anything to remember and b) its one that I come to most frequently. The second one demands more elaboration, I have been coming to this station for some 12 years now and there is a good reason why I come here all the time: I reckon this is one of the best filling stations in town. Its convenient: Its situated in Prince Edward on Boundary Road- this is the main thoroughfare from West Kowloon to East Kowloon so you really can't miss it. Moreover, it is very well connected to road going northbound (Shatin) and southbound (TST) so you really can go anywhere from here. Its big: Hong Kong is a small place and filling stations can sometimes be one that's been carved into the side of a building complex. This one is a proper size one, with some 4 lanes of vehicles that could fill up simultaneously. It has a proper shop that sells everything from washer liquids to bags of rice so it will feed both you and the car. It has everything: You can take your time and pump up your tires here; plenty of space to do it too and there's a tap down the back so people come and wash their cars here. Need I say more?

If you are driving to Tsuen Wan and you have plenty of time to spare; I would definitely recommend…read moreparking here. With numerous new malls springing up around in Tsuen Wan parking has become an increasingly frustrating matter as parking lots at the mall never tend to be enough to cater for shoppers who come to visit. Lo Tak Circuit comes from the early days of town planning when public parking spaces were still a big part of city planning, hence you will find this odd opening in the middle of town for a parking lot. Most of the spaces are for private cars and much of the meters are 2-hour meters which is much better if you intend to do a bit of shopping. There are some 30 minutes meters on one side too which makes for better turnaround times as people never seem to stay long on those. Beware- don't park at the other end of the carpark where all the trucks are- because they are limited for trucks only and they will block you in if you decide to take your chances. As with anywhere in Hong Kong, it will take patience and some aggressive maneuvers to get the space you want but with such a large number of spaces it shouldn't be too difficult. In the morning most of the spaces are taken up by taxis and contrary to public perception the place gets busier towards midnight when people leave their cars overnight. So get there well early and expect to wait. This is Hong Kong so I guess you know already.
