Gas House Express Carwash Center

OMG! The absolute best place to wash your car, a St. Louis landmark gone forever. I heard SLU bought them out to build dorms.

The Riverfront Times Best Car Wash of 2002 has officially and permanently closed without so much as a dear John letter.
Imagine my shock when I went to wash my car today and the place was, like, ripped down.
My life is a pit of despair right now.
Like, when I was there last week, you couldn’t have even said goodbye, hey, we are closing forever!!!
I have no idea where I’m going to wash my car now. And also, my entire view of the world has shattered. Like, you can’t count on ANYTHING. Seriously. It’s just going to leave you like Gas House did.
If anyone knows why, please tell me.
If anyone else knows where I can go that is close to here, please tell me.
I don’t know who’s behind this, but I’m currently blaming IKEA until I get more information. Well, also blaming Obama, but that’s a given underlying blame that I bestow on anything negative.

perfect for a good quality and quick drive through car wash.
you can pay inside or at the pump-​the packages start at 8 and the best is 14 $. and the convenience store has a broad selection of drinks and snack.

Yes! I love this place. Talk about a friendly group of employees! I dare you to walk in here and not get a ‘Hello, how’s it going?’ The car wash was ok, but a bit pricy. That’s the sole reason for the 4 stars rather than 5. This place looks sketchy from the street but do yourself and stop in when you feel like giving your car some love

Easy in. Easy out brushless car wash with it’s Best @ $ 14 is a no brainer.
Needing a good, strong but more importantly fast car wash to wipe the road trip off the grill, Gas House fit the bill. Pay at pump or inside is a drag but just plan on filling up first but expect to pay a few cents more per gallon. There was no line and I was out in moments. I only go to brushless and these jets did a good job of removing all the bits and pieces accumulated. The dry did it’s job to about 90%. I was impressed. A quick towel off at any of the meriad of vacuum stations will help.
For the ese of convenience (as long as you’re getting gas) this «House» is good but I’m disappointed I can’t stick a card in at the kiosk and roll.

All you need in this world is Gas House… one stop shop!
What a wash ;)
Friendly staff
Large selection of goodies

This place is great. Best drive-​thru car wash you’re going to find. You have to enter the gas station or pay at the pump for a wash (no pay at the box as you enter the wash), which is a minor inconvenience. The nice thing is that the women that work there always greet you when you walk in. They’re never bashful… you always get a nice, «Good morning!» (presuming it’s the AM).
The car always looks great when it’s done. I usually do «The Best» ($ 14) every month and an «Express» ($ 7) once every week or so.
Insider tip! Everyday from 6 – 9 AM (and all day Tuesday) they offer a discount on car washes, so you can buy them (as many as you want) for a dollar or two cheaper than what you’d usually pay. I go so often I try to load up.
The inside of the station is also nice. Not your typical gas station. It’s big with plenty of little items to help keep your car clean and well maintained. They also happen to have the best selection of energy drinks and Muscle Milk in St Louis. Find me another place that sells Banana Cream and Strawberry Muscle Milk… they don’t even have that *ish at gyms.
I’m happy to say this place is awesome, but don’t start showing up holding up the line while I’m trying to «get my wash on»… I don’t want to regret this!

$ 2 Off for Car Washes on Tuesdays!
Yeah, I’m obsessed with getting my car washed here. If you have a car, you should be, too!

Though a little pricey (top car wash is $ 14), there’s just something about this car wash that makes it worth it for me.
First off, my car always comes out gleaming and the dryers actually work. I mean, that almost makes the rates worth it right there. I have never had a bad car wash at this place and yet, the brushes and water aren’t so high that they destroy the paint on my car (or my hood ornament) like I’ve had happen at other places.
But I think what I love most is the old timiness of this place. It is filled with ridiculous neon lights and you drive through on an old school track while your car just hangs out in neutral. There are neon penguins juggling and the whole thing is over before you are really ready to go back into gear and drive off.
Also, they give you a towel for getting any extra spots off. I personally never use mine and currently have a backlog of like 3 in my glove box, but you never know when you need a soft rag, so hey, I’ll give them props for the thought.
Oh and the store, excellent people watching and Mountain Dew Slurpees. If the car wash wasn’t good enough, that would have sold me.
