About

Tassie Wash in South Launceston, TAS, is a local car wash you’ll spot around town. Google rates it at 4.1, so it feels like solid value with a few quirks. It offers a mix of drive‑through auto options and self‑serve bays, plus a dog wash that many folks use and like.

There are automatic drive‑through washes and a well‑furnished self‑serve area. If you drive a sedan, try the left‑most auto bay – the sensors on the right can miss smaller cars. Staff are around to help with a quick pre‑wash before the auto cycle, though there isn’t a full hand wash by a team.

Payment is flexible: cash and coins are accepted (there’s a coin changer on site) and card payments including EFTPOS are common. Vacuums are available, though a few people mentioned a bit of finickiness. The dog wash gets praise for warm water, towels, and a flea and tick rinse, usually around $10. Prices stay cheap for self‑serve and dog wash, with automatic washes often listed around $16–$20. The place is open 24/7, so you can drop in anytime.
