It’s crazy how difficult it is to find a car wash in the DC area. The few I found were high-​end and not open during convenient hours, like the weekend.
So even though this place might not be amazing outside the DMV, it is a really great find for this area. I was able to get my car washed pretty late in the evening. I liked the Unilocal deal although it took the cashier a minute to figure it out.
The actual car wash is a bit dated, so if you have an expensive car you might want to go elsewhere. But for me it did the job well and for a very reasonable price.
The air vac I used afterwards wasn’t very powerful, just FYI.

Just an FYI, this gas station does have a car wash and accepts credit card. It wasn’t the best but decent. They also have vacuums that take quarters ($ 1 at a time).

I’m truly ok with paying $ 5 for an express wash and completing the final touches my self.

Great car wash for a great price. Around this area this is in my opinion the best car wash quality for the best price at the same time, that does not scratch your car, water, and everything else is really fresh. Absolutely to recommend

This review is about the car wash: Very straightforward and decent wash. Attendant provides clear instruction and allowed me to pay cash without going inside the store. I also used the Unilocal offer to save 20% no questions asked as it was my first time. Also on a Thursday afternoon there was no line for car wash, but the vacuums were mostly all occupied.

I need of a quick car-​wash without the fancy fixings, i jumped on Unilocal and saw the steller reviews for this place. For $ 10, you can get a solid car wash in about 5 mins, with little fuss. There wasn’t a line when we went which was also a plus. However, since it is an automated car wash, it did miss spots on the car (hub caps, a few spots on the window, etc). Other than that, the price is right and this is a smooth operation.

Decided to try this place after reading the reviews. And this is good place if you don’t want to get out of your car. The prices are good compared to the car washes around where you pay a premium to get your car washed and vacuumed. I got the works and it was like 5 minutes through the wash for about $ 9. You basically drive up to the entrance of the car wash, a guy comes and swipes your card if you want to pay by credit card, into the machine and selects the type of wash you want. Then your car is put on neutral and off you go into the wash. If you want to pay cash, then you have to go inside the store at the gas station. I got there a little after 8 am on a Saturday morning and there was just one car in front of me. Will go back again.

Went in on Easter Sunday at 3pm. Quick and easy, drive up, brakes on neutral, foot off the gas conveyor process. Minus a star for $ 1 (4 quarter) coin-​required vacuum.

Inexpensive car wash and you get a discount if you fill up there. Would be great if there were people there to dry the car to prevent water stains or rags provided for doing the same, but then the cost wouldn’t be so low. Gas is a little over-​priced and the vacuums had a long line/​wait. All-​in-​all, good for the price.

The max car wash was $ 10.40 after the discount, pretty good for the price. No wait, vacuums are available as well. There was an attendant to help too.

The car wash is a great price with the Unilocal deal and it does a decent job of getting off all the salt in the winter time.

I took my dirty Mercedes to their automatic car wash today. I chose the works program costing 13 bucks. The process was pretty short but the outcome was great. I’m looking forward to bring my car back this place to get it washed next time. But I hope to get a better discount since I wash my car very often.

Went here for the car wash after David’s Car Wash screwed me. I did the «Works» option which was 13 bucks. This was above average for an auto car wash, my car looked sparkly after it was done and they cleaned the undercarriage. It was a little bit on the expensive side at $ 13, which is why I didn’t give it 5 stars, I would say $ 8 or $ 10 would be a fairer price, seeing most car washes charge 15 for a wash and vacuum and clean your interior.

Tried the car-​wash on Nov 29th and went with the «Max» $ 16 wash for my moderately dirty sedan, and the car came out just as dirty as it went in. The touch wash did not get any of the hood, windows, mirrors, rocker panels and bumper. Ended up having to hand-​wash the car at the end. Very disappointed, will not return.

This is a great gas station. Best prices I’ve seen on gasoline, and the vaccum and car wash are very affordable as well. Nice staff inside and there’s even a sit down resto where you can order kabob (but I wouldn’t do that personally). I’ve been going here for years.

I had seen some Unilocaler’s check in here, and someone mentioned good prices. So I checked this place out to see how the prices would be with my Giant Food reward points. Let me tell you, even without the points the prices on gasoline are great. The carwash is not great, but it is definitely above average for one at a gas station. The store is below average in terms of stock, with the exception of drinks. Overall, it’s a good place to get gas.
The only thing that keeps it from getting five stars is that it is difficult to get to if you’re coming from Annandale. You have to drive past the Shell, make a left into the parking lot with Best Buy, immediately turn left, and follow the service road down to pumps. Annoying, but the prices are worth it.

I came here to wash the green fuzz that has taken over the body of my Infiniti from the Virginian trees. It was really cheap– the full mega ultra package only cost $ 12. Plus a 10% discount (not sure why or how i got that). There were 5 cars in front of me and I waited 20 minutes max. Totally worth it. You pay, park your car in the garage filled with brushes, bristles, soap and wax and just sit and wait. It’s a little creepy to watch while being in the car but its the small price you have to pay for paying a small price. Yeah, that sounded like my Dad.

The Giant card always works and is nice that there is a cover when it is raining.
