Versluis Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 Does anyone know of an indoor car wash facility? I'm not talking about a spray n wash or a drive through car wash, I'm wondering if there is a place where I can rent or pay for the car wash bay and hand wash my car during these cold months. I had heard through the grape vine that Auto Spa in Dublin had a bay you could rent out and hand wash your car. I'm not sure if that was true but wanted to see if anyone else knew of a place.

Versluis Posted December 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 Been looking for one to no avail I'm going to call AutoSpa tomorrow and see if what I heard was legit. I cant believe that someone that owns a shop that slows down in the winter doesnt allow this in the winter on weekends or something. I would believe that people would pay a decent amount to be able to hand wash their car in a heated area. I for sure would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc1647545523 Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 With some advance notice, I can do this at the Hangout. One drawback is that there needs to be a total of two people during the spraying part of the process, as the water on the floor needs to be directed with a floor blade to keep it flowing out of the garage. I can do it for you if you don't have a helper along. Most of the winter I wash my cars right outside the overhead door and then move them inside for drying and detailing. However, when it's below freezing, I do it all indoors. I can get the bay around 60 degrees, but the floor remains cold, so boots are a good idea. I have all the equipment you need, but I suggest you bring your favorite products and drying cloths. There are electical outlets, decent overhead lights, and nearby restrooms. Let me know in advance so I can set the time aside. I used to post threads about doing this on weekends but only had 3 or 4 takers total, so I stopped offering it routinely. http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=68596 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImUrOBGYN Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 Does anyone know of any auto washes that spray the underside of the car? The drive thru car wash on Sandusky in Delaware had a very high pressure under-car sprayer that I loved using in the winter to get ice and salt cleaned out with hot water. Kept me from having to get out and on my knees with a sprayer. No pun intended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the "mid ohio car wash" on sawmill has the underbody sprays when you enter the bay. http://www.yelp.com/biz/mid-ohio-car-wash-llc-columbus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supplicium Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 I have an indoor heated wash bay with the coin op style hand sprayers. Availability is tough but if you absolutely need one let me know. Only cause you have an R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POS VETT Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 That offer was from the days before I joined CR. I can see why takers are scarce, I still would love to take such an opportunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The attendant will scrub your front/wheels/rear bumper before you go into tunnel and it does a good underbody wash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll keep this in mind, too. I live near Clime and 270 on the SW side. Anyone know of anything around there? I found a little car wash on 3 closer to Clime, but it's just a regular self-serve. I wonder if the new Turkey Hill on Clime and Georgesville has the underside sprayer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Versluis Posted December 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 BTW I called Performance Auto Spa and they have bays that are open for use. You can rent them by the hour and it is 15.00/hr. Heated bay, water and good lighting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Brian Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Doc, if there is enough interest I will stop out this weekend. I have a lifetime's supply of salt stuck to my car right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc1647545523 Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Snow is forecast Friday night and Saturday. You're still welcome to come out, but it probably won't make sense to wash it all off just to pack it back on while you drive home. I cleaned two cars today which were hideous with caked salt. Free tomorrow early, or Sunday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Brian Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Nope and nope I'll just spray her off in the driveway tomorrow, and I'm sure it'll be salty again later this Winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky31186 Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 I can't do automated car wash, my car is too low and the winter tires are stretched. The car wash we have in pickerington is touchless. There is nothing on the ground to guide you. Just an open flat floor, you pull in and it tells you to stop. So wheels and Bumpers don't matter.
