About Rub-A-Dub Valet Carwash

A full-service valet car wash on Manukau Road in Epsom, next to the Waitomo station. The site calls it New Zealand's oldest full-service car wash, and it works without bookings: you drive in, and the on-site staff tell you the wait. Every valet gets an air dusting in hard-to-reach places, a full vacuum including the boot, and a choice of interior finishes. The site describes its washing as water-conscious, with steps taken during Auckland's water shortage. It is open seven days a week. Regular customers talk about attention to detail, speed and value, and one has come once a month for years. Another visited to remove bugs after a road trip. Reviewers also say there is a cafe on site, where you can wait. The mixed view is that some customers have left low ratings, and one long-time customer says those ratings do not match their experience. Our pick in Epsom for a full valet, rather than a quick drive-through wash.
