Car wash in Fort Lauderdale

gatorfast · 03-09-2012, 05:19 PM

Im in the downtown fort lauderdale area and looking for a good car wash place. Anyone know of anything?

I usually wash my own but need a good backup for the lazy days. Definitely dont want to go through one of those "hand wash" places places that runs it through a machine then hand dries it with dirty towels. Thanks for any suggestions!

You ever make it further south? I know of a good one in the Aventura/Hallandale areas.

Im really looking for one in the ft laud area. I know there are some good ones further south (area you mentioned) and north (boca area) but there seems to be nothing in/around fort lauderdale.

Aventura's Finest Hand Car Wash. They have several locations: aventura mall, gulf stream, and harbor center.

If you want any more info let me know or pm me. I know the owner personally. He is a very good friend. He does very high-end work; for example, he does a lot of work for special cars at Prestige (Audi, Lamborghini, etc). Great guy and very well priced for the work.

Whatever you do don't take it to the carwash on US1 just South of the tunnel. Took my wifes 328 through it and the tow hook cover went missing and it was never to be found again. $100 replacement for a piece of painted plastic. Just hand wash the car!

i have mixed feelings about aventura's finest, but usually that's where i go on the rare occasion i am too lazy too wash it myself and really want my car cleaned. (usually i'm too lazy and just leave it dirty

)

Can I ask why about the mixed feelings?
I've went to Bertoni's a couple of times but that was with a white car so its harder to see any imperfections. I think they do a pretty good job though, and its $12.

It's the only place I go. They have several different kinds of washes, but the basic is $15. This includes this interior, but not a shampoo, etc of the interior. If you go, you'll see the cars being washed there.
I get it waxed as well every so often. I have never had any complaints, nor has anyone I've referred them to.

100 bucks? Sorry to hear that..You should have contacted me, I could have gotten you the tow hook for a bit less than that I'm almost positive.
