AutoSteam cleans cars with steam rather than foam, and says a mid-sized car needs only about 4 litres of water. Based on Glenlyon Avenue in Greerton, it takes on everything from sedans to campers, motorhomes, caravans, buses and motorbikes. The steam works on cloth and leather seats, carpets, air vents and wheel wells alike.
The work runs from a deep interior clean and ozone treatment for smoke, pet or mould smells, to machine polishing, UV wax coating, engine bay cleaning and headlamp polishing. People selling a car can book pre-sale valeting, and the products used include RUPES, FARECLA, 3M and ECO TOUCH.
Pick-up and drop-off covers Tauranga and Mount Maunganui, with pick-ups starting at $20 to $50 as at 2026, depending on where you are. Larger vehicles can be cleaned where they are parked, and a mobile steam service is offered. Book by calling or texting 022 000 0113.
Of the four car washes listed within a kilometre, this one has by far the most reviews. The other three have six, one and three.
