Around ten years ago, I watched a compact car hooked to the mechanism that pulls cars through the wash, get caught up in the track and almost torn in
two. The lady who owned the car acted like one of her children had been eaten alive right in front of her. Man.....talk about upset.....
Anyway....it is a nice car wash.

Wow....look how clean that floor is in the shop..... incredible!
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

Basically, all the work done in that shop is done down in the pit....lube and oil change, but you're right. It is clean.

Remember "reclaim oil" in the states? I wonder if they have it here?

Thanks Bruce, but I will always use a local hand car wash. Those revolving brushes in photo #5 can really mess up a paint job if they have sand on
them........I know from experience.

I use to go there several years ago when it took about 1 1/2 hours to get your car back and they did a great job but you had better pack a lunch. They
closed down and it's under new management now. I have been there and it's great! Just for a simple outside wash is 50p.

Looks like a nice car wash !!
But where is it ?? and to make along story short ... the zip,oil can and speedy oil & filter places screw up so many cars and truck's !! fogeting
the drain plug gasket...over thighting drain plug..forget to check if oil seal of filter is stuck on motor..not adding oil to seal and Over thight oil
filters.. not checking or changing pvc or spark arrester,flame traps in vent system..adding wrong weight & class of oils......and thats just off
the top of my head !!! trying to save a buck on the lifeblood of you motor may not be a good thing in the long run!!!!

Yup.......continue north on Hwy 1 (Reforma). You will pass the Office Depot/Soriana (supermarket) on your left, a hospital on your right, then a
traffic circle/Soriana on your right,,,,that is 5th street.....car wash should be just ahead on your left (west side of Reforma)
