Have you tried Village Car Wash in La Plaza Grande? They do a pretty good job but be prepared to wait. For some reason they are quite slow even with a bunch of young people wiping down the cars.

What do they charge? I have a problem paying high prices for car washes, seems like it just gets dirty again very quickly! But then, why take a shower everyday???????

I've been looking for a full service car wash that would vacuum a car and do a thorough job of cleaning. Do they clean inside and outside? What do they charge?

This from the POA web site. Could not find a web site for the the car wash.
Villages Car Wash and Lube - Bichara Blvd., La Plaza Grande Center, (352) 753-1306. $1.00 off the regular price of a silver or gold wash package.
There also is a car wash on the north side of Leesburg on 27/441.

There is a full service car wash in Belleview, about 6-8 miles north of Highway 42 on 441/27. It is on the east side of 441/27.

In response regarding cost. The Villages Car Wash charges $11.95 for a basic wash. This includes vacuuming the floors, machine wash, hand dry, cleaning the windows inside and out as well as wiping down the interior. There is a tip box for your convenience as all gratuities are shared.

Hope this info helps.

Sounds extremely reasonable to me. Thanks so much for the info.

There's a full service car wash in The Marion Markets on 441 North about 8 miles. Don't know what they charge and they are open only when the market is open, Winter time is Friday thru Sunday, the rest of the year is only Saturday and Sunday. Have them wash your car while you shop the Market.

I think they are very overpriced and found them to be unprofessional.

Are you allowed to wash your own car in your drive way?

Yes you can. However, they prefer you wash it in your yard so the soap, etc does not go into the storm drains. No one does it though. Before I get into trouble - I have never seen anyone wash their car in their yard - always in the driveway.

If this is the same one I used, it's about 10 miles north of TV and is right next to Sonny's BBQ.

They did a good detailing with hand waxing etc. for $29. Hard to beat.

I have used the Villages Car wash and the Catcus car wash in Ocala. Both do a good job inside and out. Catcus is better and a bid pricer the extra distance limits me to use them when I an up in Ocala.
