    Default Coin-Op Carwash

    The other thread dealt with tocuhless and railless. I am interested in the ones where you drop coins in and you get to spray high pressure water/soap and quickly rinse the car off (say during winter months)

    I went to one today and i figured it was quite econmical and it wasn\'t too cold or inconvenient.


    AREA: Central
    INTERSECTION: Bathurst + Dupont (across from esso)
    COST: $3
    TIME: 4min
    CONCURRENT WASHES: 8

    change machine available as well as an attendant was on site.

    I like coin-op... It\'s good to spray off the salt on your car and undercarriage. No need to be sparkling clean in winter since the car gets dirty again before you got home.

    EDIT: I decide to group all the locations you guys posted in this post, so it\'s easier for everyone to read.

    (thanks to my friend who works in Mississauga Transit to provide more Mississauga/Etobicoke locations).

    Majority of them are $3 for 4 minutes unless otherwise listed.

    Central Toronto/Downtown
    -Bathurst + Dupont (across from esso)
    -North of Eglinton between Keele and Threthewey Dr. *$2/3.20min
    -North of Eglinton and Dufferin on the East side (Near a Firestone Tire Shop)
    -North of Eglinton and Keele on the East Side
    -Queen St. West & Dufferin. Near the mental health detention centre. *$2/3min

    North York
    -Esso station at Yonge and Steeles. It\'s not a coin-op but has a blow gun to clear water from you engine after you wash it. It\'s a timed indoor wash so it all depends on how long you stay.
    -South of Finch and Jane on the West side *$3/3min

    East Toronto/Scarborough
    -Queen St. East & Kingston Rd, across from Atlantis cinema, next to Days Inn.
    -Kennedy and Finch at the PetroCanada

    West Toronto/Etobicoke
    -west side of Shorncliffe Rd. just south of Dundas St., beside a railway bridge
    -North side of Dundas Street, just west of Scarlett Road.
    -Northwest corner of Newcastle Rd and Audley St. (east of Royal York between Lakeshore and Evans)
    -Steeles/Islington northwest corner, inside gas station

    Markham
    -Bullock and Laidlaw (North of HWY 7 and McCowan on the East side) *$2/3min
    -South of HWy 7 and Kennedy Road on the West side (Shell station), 50c/min + tx (Indoor)

    Richmond Hill
    -Shell station at Higway 7 and Valleymede road.
    -Bayview and Major Mackenzie Dr. beside the Shell station. *$2/3min

    Brampton
    -Queen/Bramalea *$3/4?min

    North Mississauga
    -Northwest corner of Eglinton Ave. and Tomken Rd. (just behind Country Style). *$2/3min
    -north side of Derry Rd. between Airport Rd. and Goreway Dr. across from Malton GO
    -south side of Britannia Rd. between Terry Fox Way and Mavis Rd.

    Central Mississauga
    -north side of Thomas St. between Erin Mills Pkwy. and Mississauga Rd. across from Streetsville GO
    -northwest corner of Mavis Rd. and Dundas St. beside the Canadian Tire

    South Mississauga
    -north side of Lakeshore Rd. between Hurontario St. and Cawthra Rd. at Seneca Ave
    -north side of Lakeshore Rd. between Dixie Rd. and Browns Line across from Marie Curtis Park

    -Royal Windsor/Windston Churchill southwest corner
    -northside of Speers Rd just east of Dorval, beside Budget Rent-A-Car
    -Speers/3rd Line northeast corner, on northside of Speers. Looks like a barn.
    -Cross/Argus northwest corner, inside the plaza across from the Oakville GO

    I was thinking more for a quick rinse in the winter so it\'s not meant to make it sparkly but just get the main layer of salt off.. and for that i think it does its job perfectly

    $2/4min is a sweet deal, most of them are $3/4min now. Too bad the cheap ones are too far from me.
