About Wash N Shine

A car wash on Parton Road in Papamoa Beach, Tauranga, next to the Gull self-serve station, and known for its dog wash. The site describes a locally owned business, open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with a recycled water system. The auto wash offers three options, including a brush pass with wax and spot-free rinse, and an under-chassis wash. The self-serve bays have three covered bays and one outside bay with a high boom, and four covered vacuums plus a stand-alone vacuum with a longer hose for campervans and caravans. The dog wash is a coin and note machine with heated water and a heated dryer, and the site asks users to disinfect the tub after use. Reviewers mention the dog wash most often, and one says it costs $12 as at 2026 and includes a flea rinse. Another says the self-serve bays worked well, with a $5 soap-brush and $5 jet doing the job. The tap-and-go machines also worked for them. One reviewer praises an attendant who helped them when they were unsure what to do. Our pick in Papamoa Beach for a dog wash.
