The Carwash (Alice Springs, NT)

The Carwash (Alice Springs, NT) is a handy local spot to spruce up your ride. With a Google rating of 3.3, it’s a real world option rather than a polished showroom. It’s open 24 hours, every day, so you can swing by after work or a late road trip.

It runs automatic wash facilities too, though one commenter said the automatic wash didn’t get all the dust off. There are dedicated bays for washing, and one fellow even noted you can fit a 19ft caravan through bay 1, which is handy if you’re towing. No worries if you’ve got a big rig.

Vacuum machines are on site and reportedly work well. Most folks pay by card; a few reviews mention no cash is accepted due to vandalism or coin issues. There isn’t clear evidence of a standard staff hand wash, but there was a note that staff re-washed a car on one occasion, not as a regular service.

Prices get a mixed take, with some reviewers calling the costs a rip‑off and others just pointing out the various card charges that pop up. Still, if you want a simple, open‑late wash with room to stretch out, it’s worth a look.
