About Touch Free Car Wash

A touch-free automatic car wash on College Street in Hokowhitu, Palmerston North, where open tray utes can go through the automatic bay. The company says a wash takes 2 to 3 minutes and that the bay takes vehicles up to 2.4 metres high. The soft brush is not used on open tray utes.

There are self-service bays with high-pressure soap, triple foam and wax, plus vacuums, a spot-free rinse and a dog wash. The self-service bays cost $1 per minute, with a minimum of $2 to start, as at 2026. PayWave is accepted, and the card is held for $20 for 24 hours and not charged. Coins work in every bay, and notes can be exchanged for tokens. A wash app is also available. Staff are on site to help with the equipment.

Customers mention the queue, but say the wait is worth it. One reviewer has used the wash many times and called it the best car wash they have tried. The other car wash nearby, Espresso Hand Car Wash and Detailing, 0.6 km away, is rated lower and has far more reviews.
