Default Car washing in Toronto?

Apparently, no one in my apartment building washes their own car... it seems more common than I expected here in Toronto for buildings to not have a spot to wash a car with running water. Where do people who enjoy washing their own cars, wash their car? Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!

Alon, I'm at Yonge and Bloor, just about 1/4 block NE of it. I am willing to drive to wash the car, I just want the pleasure of washing my car myself, I find it relaxing and rewarding.

I have a heated double garage that I use with running hot/cold water and a centre drain that works really well. You're welcome to come over and use it when you're in N.B.

There's also a new do-it-yourself place on Bathurst, south of the 401 now.

When I lived downtown 5 years ago I used a place on King St E (almost to the Don Valley). You should see it on the right hand side. It was about $10 for a hand wash.

Awesome, thank you! I would assume these places charge by the hour? I only take about 30-45min to wash the car thoroughly and 15-30mins for a quick wash. Thanks again and if you are at one of the washing places and see a midnight blue 993 Turbo, say hi!

Wanted to add my feedback, I took the 993TT to First Cdn Place and as Carbon_00 said, they were awesome. The car turned out perfect and they were a joy to deal with.

To add a further bonus, when I came down, there was a gorgeous yellow Carrera GT that they had just cleaned. If I ever get a CGT, it will be yellow!

Thanks again for the recommendations, they've all been excellent!

He'll wash and detail your car. If he's good enough for car magazines and brochures, he's good enough for you.

Glad you were happy with those guys, fanstastic to deal with..have been dealing with them for 7 years...I buy the package of 10 washes..good value considering the location..they even park the car in my spot downstairs after and leave keys in the security booth.

I met the owner of the yellow CGT..nice guy..drives that thing year round....on really bad days he has a beater to get to work...a silver SL65...nice touch.
