    Default Pay 'n Spray Car Wash?



    When I was at school in mankato, I'd wash my car 1 or more times a week at a pay n spray across the street from my apartment. Basically I'd pay, fill a bucket with soap in it, spray off the car, and hand wash it, then pay again to rinse it off.

    Does anyone know of a decently priced pay n spray where I could continue this. The one by my place is $3.25 per time, and that's way too much to pay twice, I want to say the one in kato was $1.75 per time.

    There is a sweet one by me in eagan thats behind rainbow and only costs a dollar to start it up and then you add as you go. They dont want you to use buckets and they have a sign even but the guy says if there isnt anyone waiting it should be ok,which is common sense.

    Couple by my house in Blooomington, 90th (91st) and Lyndale or so.

    Over the winter on my beater I just got the $25/month unlimited washes at paradise.

    There is one right next to Super Target in St Louis Park, NE corner of 169 and 7.

    I was just there today, I probably go 4-5 times a month lol

    I want to say it is $2 or $3 for the 4 minute minimum, then a quarter for every 30 seconds

    I go to the one on Robert St in West St Paul. It's right next to Menard's. It's $1.00 wash and their .50 cent Tuesdays have now become .75 cents. I use a wash bucket there all the time unless there's a line outside and I've never been told I can't.

    i was at one yesterday here in Hudson, its 2.50 for 5 minutes i think? i usually just put in 3 bucks and i can get it done, switch it to wash so its good to go on start, wash the brush off, then switch to brush and then switch to rinse as im finishing with the brush and rinse off. same rules apply here about the bucket washing with the lines...

    There is one on Lyndale and 22nd in Uptown. Right across the street from SA and The Wedge. The equipment is not the greatest, but it works and it is close to me.

    $2.00 to start.

    I know there is also one up on Marshall in North East that uses hot water - very nice. But do not recall exact location or price.
