Why a DIY Car Wash Is Not Always Ideal

In 2015, blogs, TV shows and other media are devoted to finding ways to do it yourself (DIY). Today, consumers brew their own beer, hang their own wallpaper and perform a variety of other tasks that require special skill sets to do properly. But there are some things that are best left to professionals.

You wouldn’t give yourself a haircut, would you? It’s probably less likely that you’d offer your teenage son 10 bucks to cut your hair. Looking good is important to you.

You know what else is important to you? Your car.

Yet all around the country, car owners insist on giving themselves dodgy driveway carwashes. We see those guys on their commutes to work, sporting the telltale streaks and missed spots that say “DIY carwash.” Instead of looking fresh and polished, these car owners spend hours of labor in the hot sun so their car can look marginally better than it did before, not to mention the puddles of soap and dirt that cover driveways in the aftermath.

If you or someone you know needs some help on the care care front, send them to the professionals — that’s us!

At Soapy Joe’s, we provide a range of carwash options that are affordable, reliable and eco-friendly. Cleaning your car at home leads to hazardous runoff, wasted water and other environmental faux pas. What’s more, the job you do at home can’t compete with a state-of-the-art professional wash from Soapy Joe’s.

Our San Diego locations give you the options and convenience you need to clean your car on the go.

Visit us today to get the full Soapy Joe’s experience and we promise, you’ll never want to do it yourself again.
