Hand car wash for Altamonte Springs.

436 is the whole story

Altamonte is a town of short trips. Five minutes to the grocery run, ten to the office, and the car spends most of its life going up and down 436 collecting the same film of brake dust and pollen. A tunnel will take that off fast and put a fresh set of fine scratches in your clear coat doing it.

We are on the road you are already driving. Head northwest on 436, past Forest City, over into Apopka, and about twelve miles later we are at 3498 E Semoran Blvd with our own parking. No turns to remember, and no hose, bucket or Saturday afternoon gone at the other end of it.

What a visit looks like

A quick wash needs no appointment. Pull in during opening hours, we take cars in turn, and you are welcome to wait with yours. A full detail wants a call first on (407) 921-5477 so the time gets set aside for you.

We open at 1pm on Wednesday, then 8am to 6pm Thursday through Sunday, and we are closed Monday and Tuesday. The last wash of the day goes in at 5:30pm, so if you are driving out after work, aim earlier rather than later.

If you live somewhere you can't wash a car

Many condo and apartment communities do not allow washing on the property at all. That is the simplest reason to make the drive: bring it to the shop instead, and pay the same posted price as anyone else. The 10% off for veterans, seniors and emergency response workers applies here too.

The Florida bits

Two things show up on almost every car on this road. Love bugs, twice a year, which harden onto the front bumper and mirrors and want removing before they etch. And the afternoon storm, which drops rain full of road grit and leaves spots on a hot hood. Neither is a disaster. Both are cheaper to handle as maintenance than as a rescue job a year later.
