Good Car Wash / Valet or Jet Wash - Warwick / Leamington Spa

[tsp]

Hi guys

I have just moved to the area because of work and my new flat has nowhere to wash my car (gutted).

I can’t stand having a dirty car so I need some where to wash it. Either a really good had car wash / valet or a jet wash where I can take my own cleaning stuff and clean it myself. I normally hate other people touching my car so if I am going to have to use a hand car wash / valet service they need to be a really good one, no horrible dirty sponges that are going to scratch my paint.

Where would you guys recommend in the Warwick / Leamington Spa / Gaydon area?

Cheers

Tom

Not used it myself but the hand car wash opposite Tesco on Emscote Rd seems quite popular, the board outside advertises washes from £5 upwards, or there's a wash & valet while-you-shop service fairly central in Leamington (on the road parallel to Park St) which usually has some fairly high end cars around it

And should you need a drive-through automated one then the one at Tesco seems the best and best value (but not for your pride & joy of course!)

For a DIY jet wash I always used to use one at Texaco on Rugby Rd, haven't been there for a few years so don't know if it's still running. There was a separate bricked enclosure you could drive your car into with a big jet washer and good drainage.

Happy to recommend these, my Ex took the TVR & the Ferrari there a few times.

^^^ This one is pretty good. About £10 upwards for a wash. I've used the one opposite Tescos and also the one on the Stratford road out of Warwick towards J15 of the M40.

If Matt's happy to recommend it it must be good.....

The one in Southam is pretty good, although can be a bit slow they were very thorough and a good price too. It's on the road from Southam to Fenny Compton, near the island with the Shell station.

Is the cafe still there? Mate used to get his bike washed there while he stuffed his face.

Can't say I've noticed one.

Get yourself a bucket or two and go to the morrisons jet wash.

Thanks for your replies. I have been using the Morrison's jet wash and a bucket and it does the job but it's not cheap, costs about £6, plus I bring my own shampoo, don't trust what ever chemicals they put in theirs. I might try the car wash near tescos perhaps.
