Ampol Car Wash (Shailer Park, QLD)

Ampol Car Wash (Shailer Park, QLD) is that local spot you pass on the way to the shops, with a Google rating of 3.4. Reviews describe it as an automatic car wash with soft chamois rollers and a high-pressure blow-dry, and one post even notes damage consistent with an automatic system.

Prices hover around $10 for a basic wash and $18 for a full wash, and people call it cheap or decent value, with a few saying it does a great job for the price. It’s been hailed as a handy one-stop spot, too.

There are no self-serve bays here, so you won’t be manually washing your car yourself. Payment is handled at the cashier, and the reviews only mention manual payments there, so cash or coins are expected; card payments aren’t clearly stated.

It’s open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, which is handy for a spill or dented workday. Do be aware a past reviewer mentioned damage to a number plate and rear mirror, so go in with reasonable caution.
