DIY car wash

Old Market Car Wash and whatever the one was on 39th & Leavenworth are out of commission.

Anyone have a suggestion for a reliable self wash anywhere near downtown, or along Dodge west of 680?

That new car doesn't have a self cleaning option?

It's called "park outside until it rains", but it's kind of unreliable.

Haha, well that might work today and tomorrow.

As far as your question, I can't really think of any in your area. Â The 2 that I used in the past were 108th and Maple and 90th north of Maple. Â However lately I have been using Russel Speeders (which is not do it your self) on Saddlecreek near UNMC.

Pretty sure that the one on 24th and vinton is still open and self wash.

Is it worth a damn? Â I hate going to these places and not having hot water or soap.

There's one over in the Lake Manawa Power Center shopping center... Â Its not downtown, but not too far a drive.

Its between that center strip mall and Sam's Club (roughly the south eastern part of the shopping center).

In front of Walmart next to the independent gas pumps.

I have used it a few times but it has been a while. Â Unless it is vastly improved it is not getting any more of my Â $0.25's

So close, its almost in Downtown:

3518 W Broadway St, Council Bluffs, IA 51501

While you are over there, you can get that cheap Iowa gas too... Â :;):

What is this "gas" you speak of?

I was going to suggest CB, as well. In fact, isn't West Broadway mainly gas stations and car washes? Â :lol:

CB is a plan b. Â much rather spend the money in my tax base.

Gasoline, as in motor vehicle fuel, is usually $.10-.15 cheaper on the Iowa side, and sometimes as much as $.20 per gallon! I always fill up there when I'm over there most weekends.
