@ The Car Wash is a 24-hour self-serve and in-bay automatic car wash in Spotsylvania County, Virginia, at 3110 Spotsylvania Mall Dr — on the Spotsylvania Towne Centre lot, between Costco and Starbucks. Four self-serve bays and two soft-touch in-bay automatics, open every hour of every day, including nights, weekends and holidays. See the 24 hour car wash page for what that means at 2 a.m.
Where we are
3110 Spotsylvania Mall Dr, Fredericksburg, VA 22407. The mailing address says Fredericksburg, but the wash itself sits in Spotsylvania County, just off Route 3 at the Spotsylvania Towne Centre. If you live in 22407 or 22553, or anywhere along Plank Road, Courthouse Road or Route 1, you are a few minutes away.
Coming from Spotsylvania Courthouse, take Route 208 north to Route 3 and turn east toward the Towne Centre. From Massaponax, Route 1 north then Route 3 west. From Chancellorsville or Salem Church, Route 3 east. From Four Mile Fork, Lafayette Boulevard to Route 3.
Four self-serve bays
$5 starts the bay, then $1 per minute. You control the wand and the clock, so a quick rinse after a gravel road costs a fraction of a full wash, and you are never paying for minutes you did not use.
Every bay runs pre-soak, high-pressure soap, tri-color foam brush, tire and wheel cleaner, undercarriage rinse, spot-free rinse and a high-power air dryer. That control matters for trucks, lifted vehicles, wheel wells packed with red clay, trailers, truck beds and anything that came back muddy from a job site. With four bays you can usually pull straight in. More about the self-serve bays.
In-bay automatic wash
If you would rather stay in the car, both in-bay automatics are on the same lot. They are soft-touch, so the equipment moves around the vehicle while you sit still.
Four packages: Basic $10, Basic with Rain-X $13, Premium $18, Premium with Rain-X $22. Every package finishes with a filtered spot-free rinse so the car dries without mineral spots, and the Rain-X packages are worth it through the wet months — rain beads and sheets off at speed instead of smearing across the windshield. More about the automatic wash.
Free vacuums
The vacuum stations are free with any automatic wash, and free for Unlimited Wash members. No coins, no tokens, no timer counting down while you are still working on the back seat. Floor mats, under the seats, the trunk — take the time it takes. More about the vacuums.
Unlimited Wash membership
If you wash more than once a month, the monthly pass is cheaper than paying per wash. Basic Pass is $19.95 a month and a single Basic wash is $10, so two washes and the pass has paid for itself. Premium Pass is $29.95 a month against $18 for a single Premium wash. Wash as often as you like, and vacuum use is included every visit. Membership details.
Open 24 hours, every day of the year
Not 24 hours on weekdays, not 24 hours except holidays. Every hour of every day. That matters in Spotsylvania, where plenty of people work shifts that do not line up with a 9-to-5 car wash, and where a January salt coating or an August pollen layer does not wait for a convenient Saturday. Pull in at 2am if that is when you have time.

How much does a self-serve bay cost?
$5 to start, then $1 per minute. You control how long you run each setting, so a short rinse costs less than a full wash.
How much is an automatic wash?
Basic $10, Basic with Rain-X $13, Premium $18, Premium with Rain-X $22. Every automatic wash includes free use of the vacuum stations.
Are you really open 24 hours?

Are the vacuums free?
The vacuums are free with any automatic wash and free for Unlimited Wash members, with no time limit.
Do you have an automatic wash that is safe for a truck or a lifted vehicle?
For anything tall, oversized or carrying a rack, the self-serve bays are the better choice — you direct the pressure yourself and nothing is sized to a conveyor.
