Pelican Bay Car Wash & Lube

Black Friday weekend they had a BOGO deal, I purchased a $ 30+ car wash and was told I’d get the identical service free next time. Here I am returning for that same wash, and now I’m told I have to pay $ 10 to get the inside cleaned out. Don’t fall for scams, and ask for fine print details. B. S!

I used to go to a car wash on the other side of I-​85 but this one is a notch above. The self service area offers two different types of cleaning fluid and different texture cloths, and the vacuum is like nothing I have ever experienced. The suction is SO powerful that controlling the tube is like wrestling a jungle python. It’s not for the faint of heart or the infirm. I worked up a sweat just trying to control it. It’s a beast — a weapon of mass destruction. I vacuum my car every month and this vacuum found things left over from 2014 under seat crevices.

I’ve seen them working on reopening this location as a car wash the last few months, and was excited to finally get to try them today. If you live in the area, you know the only other car washes close by are on 20 down by Windermere or on the east side of 85, neither convenient. Pelican Bay did not disappoint.
Brand new facility, all shiny and new. They’ve totally redone the place, seems like all new equipment from the last car wash that inhabited this space. Hey that rhymed. New ownership too, so if you didn’t love it before, it’s definitely worth a shot now.
$ 25 for full service wash, including hot wax & shine, RainX, tire shine and hand interior/​exterior detailing. I don’t mind paying the money for a job well done, and these guys were great! They also offer self service bays to vacuum yourself and unlimited wash plans, and a basic exterior drive thru for 6 bucks.
Nice guys, worked quickly but not «rushing through,» even on my boring Chevy Equinox. Tipped them $ 3 for their attention to detail after checking out the finished work, and I suggest that others tip as well! A good car pampering is hard to find.
