Curmudgeon Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 Is there ANYWHERE lakeside where you can get a proper carwash in an hour or less? Please don't send me to the guys with the buckets outside SuperLake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arroyos Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 If you want to drive a little further east, there is one in Chapala, down towards Soriana. It is almost across from the Pemex station, on the right hand side. There is a traffic light at the intersection. They did a pretty good job (it took about 30-45 minutes) on our car about 3 weeks ago and we plan on returning, now that Moyoyo has closed. They were the best!

Last time I was there Thursday was old fart day and I received a 20% discount. What was the look on your face when he asked "Do you want an in and out? 160 pesos?" I loved watching the one legged car washer who worked there, he had to work harder than all the others because he had something to prove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomgates Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 I am happy with Lake Taco wash. Time depends on how many people are ahead of you, like most places I suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 I am also happy with Lake Taco car wash. They do an exceptional job inside and out and, while waiting, I can have breakfast or lunch at the Lake Taco café. Love their shrimp burritos.

Willie Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 Since we live on Degollado, this works well for me...saving gas...maybe a tad lazy.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 There is/was another, I think they are doing well, at the bottom of Pepe Guizar near Gonzalez Gallo... the Las Redes area of Chapala. I pass it every time I head out to Vista del Lago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one of their "courtesy cards" ( a free wash every 10 washes"). I went there weekly for a car wash. I just checked my card and the last date was May 29th, 2018. Its owned by the people who own El Suridor. I have seen them washing their company trucks a couple of times but not open to the public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickS Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 ... sounds like someone is missing a business opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 I would agree with you RickS but it's the exactly the same problem with restaurants that fail. Would you rather line up at a good one where you know you'll get good food, nicely presented with good service consistently ALL of the time or go elsewhere. It's not the lack of a business opportunity, it's the lack of IMPLEMENTATION OF CONSISTENT SERVICE at a reasonable price. Lake Taco does it well and always has. If you don't want to wait, try getting there when they open. Also, to my knowledge, they haven't increased their prices in over five years. That would certainly shorten the lines... and create another sort of whining thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWO have closed in the past few months. And neither had a bad rep. Moyoyo was saying he just couldn't get decent help (no idea what the wages are/should be), but like the tellers at WalMart, you won't find the same guys on repeat visits very often.

Aquaponicsman Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 I got my Honda SUV done inside and out at the one near Wings Army about two weeks ago, inside and out for $98 pesos. They even found one of my debit cards alongside the driver's seat that I lost 3 months ago and returned it to me (It was cancelled, but they didn't know that.) They did a good job, too.
