Port Car Wash (Alberton, SA)

Port Car Wash in Alberton, SA. Google gives it 4.1 stars, which feels about right for a no-fuss local option.

There’s a touchless laser wash plus self-serve wash bays, and staff nearby if you need a quick rundown on how the system works. It’s not a hand-wash service, but you can get help when you need it. There’s also a dog wash area if your mate needs a bath too.

Hours vary a little, but you’re generally looking at open 24 hours on most days, with Sunday 9am–5pm. It’s a handy spot for a quick clean whenever the mood takes you.
