About
The Car Wash (Deepdene, VIC) gets the job done if you just need a quick rinse, but don’t expect miracles.
Google rates it at about 2.3 stars, so plan for a mixed experience and keep expectations in check.
There’s an automatic wash advertised as touch-free. People have paid around $19–$20 and still found mud, bird poo, or soap residue left behind; one reviewer even said it left the car dirtier than it started.
There are self-serve bays too, with coin or cash payments and a tap-pay option. Card payments can be flaky – initial charges pop up and the total can creep up – so bring cash if you want upfront clarity on what you’ll be charged.
Vacuum machines exist, but some reviews say they’re finicky. And there’s often no staff on site, so you’re largely left to figure it out yourself.
If you’re price-conscious, you’ll hear it’s a bit on the steep side and occasionally described as a rip-off in the comments. Still, for a bare-bones, self-serve wash you might give it a go, just go in with your eyes open, mate.
Automatic Features
Provides an automatic drive-thru car wash with auto wash options (including a top-dollar premium wash). Payment is processed at a machine, but several reviews note it’s sometimes unreliable and the auto wash isn’t always in operation. Customers report the machine is old and may not clean well, with missed spots or dirt remaining. Drying after the wash can be a hassle, and you may need to dry by hand to avoid watermarks.
Self Service Features
Self-serve/DIY wash bays with a tap-payment option; bring cash to know upfront how much you’ll be charged.

1 Review on “The Car Wash (Deepdene, VIC)”
The owners of the car wash are dodgy. They charge for the car wash, and they don’t provide soap or polish. There is no contact details to make a complaint. I was ripped off on Sunday, and by Tuesday the place was boarded up and is obviously out of business. I’d give it zero stars if that was an option.
