Default Hand Car wash???

Anyone know of a Hand Car Wash in Queens/Nassau border area that does a decent job? Its just too cold for me to wash my car in my driveway these days and it hasnt been washed since October.

I thought there was a place on Merrick Blvd in Laurelton, I not sure if that is all manual.

My car is just too low to go thru an automated one and the rear wheel lips may rub on the guide bar and scratch, so thats not an option.

Default The place to go!

Hello Guys,

Thanks GSOUP!

I have been taking my GS there already for the last 3 months, I think that they do a great job for a good price. They really do a good job and they don't rush. Very happy with their service there. There is sometimes a wait but it moves fast. Would trust and recommend them to all CL members.

If you do try them out please reply back here to report your experience, thanks.

Here is the Info:
It is on the service road of the Grand Central Pkwy, little bit before Jackson Hole Diner

Beverly Hills Detailing Center
70-11 Astoria Blvd
East Elmhurst, NY 11370
718-777-7600
Open 7 - Days

Prices that I know of and that I used
Hand Wash with interior vacuum and Full Dry Service $13 (about 30 to 45 Mins)
Hand Wash with interior vacuum and Paste Wax (Hand Rubbed On and Off - no machines!) $35 (about 1 to 1 1/4 hour/s)

That is where my lex goes to look its best.
