A truck wash for trucks, buses, tractors and fleets in Milson, where the crews wash by hand and most of the work is done under cover. A full-service wash takes about 30 minutes, and you can drive straight away with the brakes dry.
The crews waterblast first to shift hard dirt, then use soft sponges and brushes on the grooves of the chassis and the decals, and wash the wheels by sponge. The cab, underbody and deck are done in detail. Other work includes tar removal, steam cleaning for chassis and underbodies, wheel polishing, tyre revival, and interior sanitising for food, farm and health carriers. Certificate of fitness preparation is also done at most sites. Fleet operators can ask the site manager about volume discounts. The website says there is a mobile service in Palmerston North, and that the price list is by truck size.
Customers praise the attention to detail, and one who brings two trucks in twice a week says the staff look after them every time. Another customer had the air tanks and rim parts missed on two visits. Views on the job are mixed, but the praise is about the crew and the detail.
Drivers can wait for their truck with a cuppa at the site, and the website says the team sometimes gives out free pies. The entry is off Railway Road, opposite The Chilly Box, at 7 Edmunds Way in Milson, Palmerston North.
