Best Car Wash Services In Singapore

Owning a car is a luxury, but it does come with its own set of headaches too. One #FirstWorldproblem is that you’ll need to have it washed frequently to ensure that your precious set of wheels looks spick and span.

Unfortunately, being able to afford a car like that likely means you are hustling hard for it, which in turn might mean that you’re too busy to wash the car on your own.

One quick fix is to pay car wash professionals to do the job for you. Below, we list a few viable car wash options you can choose from.

What type of services can you expect at a car wash in Singapore?  

Before taking your car  to the car wash, let’s look at the types of services you can expect from them.   

Manual vs Auto Car Wash

Most car washing and cleaning services can be classified into two broad categories: manual and automatic.

Automatic car wash is the kind of service that you will typically find at petrol kiosks. It features a drive-through where you guide your car into a “giant car washing machine”. All the cleaning is then carried out by that machine.

Manual car wash is where you have a dedicated team of car washers who will clean your car by hand. 

As manual car washing is more labour-intensive, it tends to cost more for car owners, both dollar- and time-wise. But some car owners do find it more worthwhile as the car will receive more TLC.

Manual Car Wash Categories

Under manual car wash, there are also different tiers of washing you can choose from. These are split into three categories: basic, intermediate and advanced.

For the Basic, you get the old-school car wash which cleans your car exterior nicely. 

But if you think that your car interior requires a bit of cleaning too, you might want to consider the intermediate car wash, where you’ll get additional services such as vacuuming the interior and rim cleaning.

And if you really want to get your car nice and shiny inside out, you’ll want to go for the advanced (and most expensive) option. On top of what you are getting for the intermediate package, you get additional waxing and polishing that will make your car's paintwork shine.
