Car Wash (Hay, NSW)

Car Wash (Hay, NSW) is a small, no-frills spot in Hay with a Google rating of 2.3, so you know it’s not fancy. You pull up to coin‑op bays rather than staff in a shiny booth.

It’s usually $2 for about 3 minutes, and most folks say it mainly takes $2 coins. The signs can be a bit confusing about other denominations, so a quick double‑check at the machine helps.

It’s a self‑serve “hand car wash” setup – the kind where you control the pressure hose and foam brush yourself, using the manual bays.

Some reviewers call it cheaper than most, a bonza option if you’re watching the pennies. A few notes warn the gear can be temperamental: the pressure nozzle can bite if you’re not careful, and a foam brush might be out of order. Also, there have been times when the place seemed locked, so plan ahead.

All up, it’s rough‑around‑the‑edges, but if you just need a quick rinse on the cheap, it does the job.
