A car wash on Firth Street in Matamata with a Washtec AutoWash, a row of covered self-wash bays, a dog wash and vacuum bays, all open 24 hours. The website calls it Matamata's newest car wash, and says it has New Zealand's first Washtec Washmaster self-wash system.
Drivers can choose between The Works, a soft-brush wash with wax and a double dry, the Touchless wash with high-pressure water and soaps only, and the Tradie wash for larger or modified vehicles, which skips the brushes. The site says vehicles wider than 2.5 metres or taller than 2.3 metres are not suitable for the auto wash, and that uncovered utes, bull bars, roof racks and snorkels are also excluded. The self-wash bays are for motorbikes too, and the auto wash is not. The site is fully cashless, with card, Apple Pay and Google Pay.
Customers like the pressure, the roomy bay and the chemicals they can see working. One says the price is good and the bay is clean and tidy. Another wishes the washes were not diluted. A third paid for the most expensive wash, found much of the car missed, and felt the drying was too short to stop water marks.
The nearest other car wash is Car Wash Centre, 0.6 km away, which has 125 reviews.
It is at 59 Firth Street, Matamata.
