Brushless carwash

Hey,
Does anyone know of any brushless carwash in eastern LI? Anybody have any suggestions on a good and trusted automated carwash they've used brushless or not?

Thanks in advance.

The only brushless I can think of is the do it yourself in Shirley, on Montauk hiway heading east from the William Floyd, it will be on the left. There's also a car wash in West Hampton south of exit 63 of the Sunrise, but I'm not sure it's brushless, all I know is that I have always seen top dollar vehicles getting taken care of there.


Good Luck!

I havent seen a brushless around here either......I would recommend Dix Hills car wash on Jericho turnpike in Huntington across from jaguar or more down the road in Commack is 5 Star car wash......they both do work for us at the dealership n ive been bringin my mini and other cars since i moved back down here 2yrs ago. They do awesome work for the goin prices....I tried the one near me on 110 in amityville and those guys blow. They dont take there time and do a rush job. I dont have a single swirl mark or scratch since goin to the car wash in huntington and commack.

The only brushless car wash you will ever need.

wash in 15 minutes dries spotless. No Joke.

There are two handwashes that I know of. One in Lindenhurst, on the corner of Delaware and Montauk Highway. About $15 a wash. Just found a new place in West Islip on Udall Road right before the railroad tracks (Union Blvd). Only paid $9.99 for the wash. This will be my new carwash for the winter as it is closer and cheaper then the Linderhurst one.

brushless on L.I.

I go to a brushless car wash on rt.347 about a mile or so from the smithhaven mall west bound on the right hand side of the road behind a gas station. Cost for an inside and out job totals $13.50 or so after tax, they do a great job.

I think I have passed this place on the way home from school. Might have to try this one out as well.

And I thought $9 was bad here...


I'm not sure I'd want to trust a hand wash. No telling what kind of stuff is in the wash mitts/cloths they use. I think I'd rather use a no-touch spray rather than risk getting scratches.
