Questions
How much does a car wash membership cost?
Unlimited monthly plans at express tunnel chains usually run about $20–$45 a month for one car, depending on the wash level and city (chain notices checked 2026-10-28). Two or more washes a month usually pays for a plan. See our membership guide for the break-even math.
How much does car detailing cost?
Our 2026 U.S. estimate for a full interior and exterior detail on a sedan is about $200–$290 at a shop; SUVs and trucks cost more and mobile detailers usually charge 10–20% extra. Use the calculator for your state.
Is a touchless car wash better for my paint?
Touchless washes never touch the paint, so they are the safest for new, dark or ceramic-coated cars, but they leave more road film. A well-kept soft-cloth tunnel cleans better with a small risk of fine swirl marks.
Where do the listings come from?
From OpenStreetMap, the open map that anyone can edit. We list 12,278 U.S. car washes and detailers (refreshed October 27, 2026). We never add fake reviews, ratings or prices.
