About
Carrera Car Wash, South Melbourne, VIC, is a hands-on car wash where the team actually hand washes your car instead of a quick pass-through.
Google rates them at 3.3 stars, so you’ll hear a mix of praise and critique. It’s not an average drive-through wash; the crew take their time, and detailing is on the cards for some cars.
Staff wash by hand, with vacuuming and mat cleaning part of the service. You’ll notice vacuum machines in use, and floor mats and carpets get hose-downs and shampooing as part of the job.
Pricing is a mixed bag – people call it good value sometimes and overpriced other times. You’ll hear examples like outside hand wash around $25 and various inside/outside packages that go up from there.
Card payments are accepted with no surcharge, so paying by card won’t sting. They’re open daily, 8am–5:30pm, and you can usually sit in the lounge while you wait.
