Locations and hours
Hamilton Barton St E: 4 self-serve bays, regular hours. Whitby Building A on Hopkins St: 6 bays, open 24/7. Port Perry Vanedward Dr: 4 bays, regular hours. Uxbridge Main St N: 4 bays, regular hours. The 24/7 Whitby site is the only Popular location open continuously — useful if you are a shift worker, a long-haul driver, or just prefer washing late at night.
How they work
Pull into a bay. Insert payment at the meter (tap-to-pay credit/debit, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or coins). The meter starts a timer and unlocks the wand controls. You select the cycle (rinse, soap, foam brush, wax, spot-free rinse) on a dial or button panel. The clock counts down — feed more payment to extend the time.
Rule of thumb: a typical self-serve wash on a sedan takes 4-6 minutes of meter time. A pickup with a dirty bed takes 8-12 minutes. Bring a couple of dollars in change as backup if you have not used the location before.
When self-serve is the right choice
Pickup truck beds with caked mud, gravel, or construction debris.
Wheel wells and undercarriage that need a closer hose-down than the tunnel undercarriage spray.
Greasy roof racks, bike racks, or kayak straps where you want to focus the wand specifically on the rack hardware.
Spot cleaning a single panel — bird dropping, sap drip, road-tar splash — without paying for a full tunnel wash.
Off-hours washing when the tunnels are closed (Whitby Building A, 24/7).
