Title: Car wash
Post by: Phillip on August 16, 2019, 07:53.

Hello again
Another question sorry   :)
Is there a local car wash anywhere where I could/they could vacuum out our hire car before we take it back? It full of sand? Thanks

There's a car wash at the GA Centre and Repsol garage but I'm not sure if they have a vacuum facility

I can come confirm it does. There are several vacuum bays the other side of the car wash against the wall. Take some Euro coins with you to pop in the machine

...they are also absolutely awful, and last about thirty seconds a euro. I have little faith they will pick up sand effectively. It might be cheaper to buy a hoover!

One of the advantages of having your own car - they only need vacuuming when you can't see the pedals.

Bought a oldish hand held Dyson out when the “boss” upgraded again. Perfect for the car - no leads dragging across the Calle and is perfect for cleaning out the car like new

I always wash my car at the GA car wash. Once every couple of weeks to get the dust off; costs about €3 if the car's not too dirty and you're quick. Also I've always found the vacuums to be quite good although the nozzles could do with being a bit smaller. Costs €1 for 5 minutes and never had an issue with them.
