Hand Car Wash in Montreal

Washed by hand in our bay on Van Horne, in Côte-des-Neiges. Express does the outside and a quick vacuum. Signature adds a full clean inside.

From $59.99 · Express, sedan, about 20 min

Why a hand wash instead of the automatic?

Tunnel washes scrub with brushes that have already been over hundreds of cars, and the grit they pick up goes across your paint. That’s where most swirl marks come from. Here every car is washed by hand, the wheels get their own mitt, and we dry with microfibre.

From November to April that grit is salt, calcium and sand. Getting it off every week or two is the cheapest way to keep your paint.

How a hand wash works

  1. Book or walk in

    Booking online holds a bay for you. Walk-ins are welcome when one is free.

  2. Rinse and hand wash

    We rinse the loose grit off first, then wash by hand from the roof down. Wheels get their own mitt so brake dust never touches the paint.

  3. Hand dry

    Microfibre towels, no air-dry, so you don’t drive off with water spots.

  4. Inside

    Express gets a quick vacuum and the windows. Signature gets the full interior: vacuum, dash, panels, jambs and inside glass.

  5. Keys back

    Express takes about 20 minutes on a sedan and Signature about 50. Bigger vehicles take a little longer; the table above has the times.

Express, Signature or a membership?

Express is for a car that’s dirty outside but fine inside. Once every week or two is enough for most cars.

Signature is for when the inside needs it too: crumbs, salt on the mats, dust on the dash.

If the inside needs more than a tidy, like stains, smells or pet hair, a wash won’t fix it. That’s a Prestige Interior detail.

If you come in twice a month or more, a Lux O Club membership costs less than paying per wash.

Where we wash

Washes are done at the shop only. The van does mobile detailing, not washes, because a proper wash needs the bay.

Questions

Hand wash questions

Do I need an appointment for a hand wash?

No. Walk-ins are welcome when a bay is free, but booking online holds your spot and takes under a minute.

How long does a hand car wash take?

An Express takes about 20 minutes on a sedan and a Signature about 50. SUVs and minivans take longer; the times for each size are in the price table.

Why does an SUV cost more?

More paint, more glass, more interior. The price table shows the exact price for a sedan, an SUV and an SUV XL (minivans and pickups).

How often should I wash my car in winter?

Every one to two weeks. Salt and calcium do the most damage when they sit on the paint and underneath the car, so regular washes matter more in winter than in summer.

Do you wash minivans and pickups?

Yes. They’re priced as SUV XL, and the table shows the price and time for each size.
