Professional hand car wash, auto detailing and window tinting at 1329 Kenilworth Ave NE, serving Parkside. Walk-ins welcome, no appointment needed.
Parkside sits between Kenilworth Avenue and the Anacostia River, which puts our shop within a few minutes of every building in the neighborhood. For residents of the newer Parkside developments, we are the nearest hand car wash by a wide margin.
Every vehicle here is washed by hand, start to finish. There is no tunnel and no spinning brush, which is why our regulars from Parkside keep coming back. Full service washes take about 20 minutes, and detailing runs from a single-stage refresh up to a full master detail with paint correction.
Parking: on-site parking is available at the shop, so you can wait with your vehicle while it is washed. Drive times are approximate and depend on traffic.
