Farmington Car Wash

Equipment works great, decent prices, clean stalls. Just know if you use your card in the machine in the stall it puts a $20 hold on your card until it clears. No surprises. The owner is pretty awesome too if you catch him there.

Eric, the current owner, bought the Farmington Car Wash in 2006 and has transformed this small local business. Having lived in the area six years prior to his taking ownership, we’ve watched the renovations and are thrilled to have this facility nearby, saving us previous drives into Apple Valley or other neighboring towns to get a good car wash.

The Farmington Car Wash, located on Hwy 3 just north of the Dairy Queen, lets you choose between both do-it-yourself car wash bays and Typhoon automatic touch-less car washes to keep our vehicles clean and pristine looking. We keep coming back here because “clean and well-kept” matter to us and clearly it does to the owner too. He is always very pleasant and helpful.

Its 3 bay self-serve wash means that we seldom have to wait. I also like that his vacuums have sufficient strength to get into deep corners within the car. The doors, washing tracks, brushes, and pay stations – all have been upgraded. We rely on the washes good pressure, can easily manage the brush, and it makes an easy transition to the rinse cycle. There is sufficient space for vans, boats and trucks to get around on all sides during a self-serve car wash. If I’m washing the car in low-light hours, it’s nice to have a sense of security because the property is digitally recorded 12/7.

Eric requests that the bays are NOT used to clean super muddy vehicles – and I for one, appreciate this. It means that the rest of us can consistently count of clean, functional, and pleasant bays. There is a handy vending area where we can purchase snacks and drinks as well as basic car care products.

Eric is consistently on hand tending the stations and working on equipment to keep everything in tip-top shape. I highly recommend this place and supporting our local Farmington, MN business owners.
