Find a car wash near you

Mobile washes, interior valeting, engine cleaning and detailing at home or work.

Also called mobile car wash, valeting, interior detailing or car cleaning.

The car wash posts that work best on Help24 are the mobile ones — somebody who comes to your compound or your office car park while the car is parked anyway.

Interior work is where the price varies most. A wash is a wash; shampooing seats, cleaning a headliner, or getting a smell out of a car are separate jobs and should be asked for by name.

For a fleet — a few company vehicles, or a matatu — say how many and where they will be. That is a standing arrangement, and it is quoted differently from a single car.

Writing the request

What to include so the offers come back usable

  • Vehicle type and size
  • Whether you want exterior only, interior only, or both
  • Whether there is a water point and power where the car is parked
  • Any specific problem: mud, pet hair, a spill, a smell
  • How many vehicles

What moves the price

Why two quotes for the same job differ

  • Vehicle size
  • Interior work, especially shampooing
  • Whether water and power are available on site
  • Polishing and detailing, which are time rather than product
  • Number of vehicles

Help24 does not publish price ranges for car wash. Quotes come from the car wash services themselves, and the number you agree is the number the payment is held against.

Before work starts

What to check with a car wash

  • If there is no water point, confirm they bring their own supply
  • For shampooing, ask how long the car needs to dry before you use it
  • Point out any loose trim or existing damage before they start

How Help24 works

Posting a car wash job

1

Describe the job

Say what needs doing and where you are. Posting is free, and you are not committing to anything by posting.

2

Nearby car wash services send offers

Providers near you quote their own price. Nobody is assigned to you — you see the offers and you choose.

3

Agree the price first

Nothing starts until you have accepted an offer. The number you agree is the number that gets held.

4

Pay by M-Pesa, released when it's done

Help24 holds the payment while the work happens. The provider can see it is there; neither side can move it until you confirm the job is finished.
