DIY Carwash in MKE

Does anyone know of any 'Do It Yourself' car washes in the Milwaukee area. It is too soon to hook up the garden hose in the backyard, so am trying to find a place with a pressure washer and indoor washing area. Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

We were just talking at lunch today about a do-it-yourself carwash on Bluemound at about 66th. Single stall place with a coin operated hose.

Theresa, I know Kenosha is a bit out of the way, but my shop has a nice indoor heated stall to wash up that MINI squeaky clean!!! It is even free!!!!

66th and Bluemound Road - there's a one stall coin do-it-yourselfer on the NW corner - I believe it was an old filling station many years ago.

Can be quite the wait on sunny days, I used to go there ~7am on Saturdays before I had my own driveway/ water spigot.

There's one on South 27th & College, northwest corner. Four DIY stalls & one automatic.

Sorry to dredge up an old thread, but I have started thinking about this for the coming winter. Anyone know of a place in the North Shore area?

I haven't seen any in the immediate North Shore area (I live in Glendale), but there are a couple of LaserWash installations: BP at Brown Deer/51st, and at Capitol/1st. For a self-wash in colder weather, I go to a multi-stall place on 107th just south of Brown Deer (SW corner). It's across town, but it is on the northern side of town... fwiw.

Ah yes, I'm familiar with the carwash on 107th and Brown Deer-it's just north of the Audi independent shop I used to frequent almost monthly with my VW.

Thanks for the tip on the closer places. (I'm in Glendale too, and possibly a fellow musician based on your user name)
