Stay in your car, choose a package, and let the machine do the work. Our in-bay automatic runs 24 hours a day at 3110 Spotsylvania Mall Dr, beside Spotsylvania Towne Centre. Washes start at $10, and every one includes free use of our vacuum stations.
How it works
An in-bay automatic is different from a tunnel wash. You do not ride a conveyor — you park, and the equipment moves around your vehicle. There is no line to join and no attendant to wave you forward, so it works just as well at 2 a.m. as at 2 p.m.
- Pull into the bay and stop where the sign tells you
- Pay at the terminal and choose your package
- Stay in the vehicle, in park, windows up
- The machine completes the cycle around you
- Drive out and use the free vacuums to finish the inside
Wash packages
| Package | Price |
|---|---|
| Basic | $10 |
| Basic with Rain-X | $13 |
| Premium | $18 |
| Premium with Rain-X | $22 |
Every package finishes with a spot-free rinse — filtered water that dries clean instead of leaving mineral spots on your paint and glass. The Rain-X options add a water-repellent treatment that sheets rain off the glass and bodywork between washes.
Free vacuums with every wash
Any automatic wash includes use of our vacuum stations at no extra charge. No coins, no tokens, no timer.
