Car Wash in Philly

Can anyone recommend a good car wash in or somewhere relatively close to Center City.

Thanks

There's a hand wash joint on Spring Garden just east of Broad. They do a decent job and there is always a line of cars blocking the street. Only place I've ever been - mostly because it's near my house.

I always use the one behind helix's place on Umbria street, nice quiet spot to relax and wash your car

I like the spray it yourself bay's there is another one across the street from the wawa by the DMV in south philly. I always bring a gun when i go there because of all the crackheads however so dont go there.

Haha, I've washed the e63 several times at that location, but I usually remove the start button and lock the FOB and start button in the glove box. Keep the physical key in my pocket.

I should stop by the place behind helix, but I never think of it...

I went to the Bellevue Garage today, they do a nice job. Will definitely use them going forward. I've also used the spray wash place near DMV, def very shady around there.

Nice!

Didn't realize they were still open in this weather. I'll have to go back soon.
