Shell Car Wash (Fawkner, VIC)

Shell Car Wash (Fawkner, VIC) sits on the corner in Fawkner, easy to spot while you’re driving past. It’s open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, which is handy if you’re rolling in late.

Google rates it about 2.9, so it’s a mixed bag. Some folks say the soap is watered down and the wash doesn’t always leave the car sparkling, while others say it’s fine for a quick rinse. A few reviews flag the place as often broken or closed, which is a hassle if you’re in a hurry, mate.

People also mention price issues, with some reporting they felt charged for something not worth the money and even calling the place a scam.

Details about extras aren’t clear – vacuum machines, dog washes, or carpet/mat cleaning aren’t confirmed in the chatter, so don’t count on them.

All in all, it’s a bit of a gamble – good for a late-night rinse if you’re not chasing perfection, and you might end up chatting with a few locals while you wait.
