About Self-Serve Car Washes

Do it Yourself.
Save the Environment.

Self-Serve Car Wash

Self-Serve Car Washes allow you to clean your car exterior yourself with powerful and well-maintained equipment. Most of our Self-Serve locations are open 24-hours. Various cleaning products (towels, glass wipes, etc.) are available for purchase at on-site vending machines. Tall or oversized vehicles that can’t fit in our Tunnel locations can often be washed in our Self-Serve bays with taller ceilings. At each Brown Bear Self-Serve Car Wash location throughout Washington, you’ll find clean, well-kept facilities. We only use gentle cleaning solutions that are specially formulated for Northwest driving conditions. Like our Tunnel Car Washes and Touchless Car Washes, we stand behind the safety of our Self-Serve Car Washes with equipment that is consistently maintained by our own fleet of trained service technicians.

Better for your car.
Better for the Environment.

Washing your car at home can be harmful to both your vehicle and the environment. Contaminants like heavy metals, petroleum products, and soap runoff from home washing often end up in storm drains, which flow untreated into nearby bodies of water, polluting local ecosystems.  Brown Bear Car Wash captures these harmful substances and ensures they are properly disposed of, including more than 500 tons of toxic sludge each year. Additionally, our non-caustic, phosphate-free washing solutions and advanced techniques help protect your car’s finish. Unlike at-home washing, which can scratch surfaces and leave damaging soap residue, our methods are endorsed by leading auto manufacturers for maintaining your vehicle’s longevity and resale value.

Can Brown Bear Wash your vehicle?

Vehicle Restrictions

Brown Bear Car Wash works hard to provide customers with the best technology available to guarantee a clean, dry and shiny vehicle, along with the peace of mind that their vehicle won’t be harmed in any way. While we’d love to wash every vehicle, there are some we just can’t!
