Plans, tags and paying at the pay station
There are four plans. Bronze is $12 for the first month, then $23.99 a month. Silver is $16 first month, then $30.99. Gold is $20 first month, then $35.99. Platinum is $23 first month, then $38.99. No long-term contract, and you can cancel any time.
Pick a plan and a Fast Pass RFID tag, about the size of a Band-aid, goes on the lower left of your windshield. Drive up, the gate lifts, and the wash runs automatically. You are through the tunnel in a few minutes, and the plan bills to your card monthly.
Yes. Every plan includes free vacuums and the Free Rapid Air System, which blows dust and water out of vents, seams and door jambs. Each vacuum bay has a vacuum on each side of the car.
Ceramic Seal is applied in the tunnel for long lasting shine, gloss and ultra UV protection. It is included with the Platinum Plus plan, or it is an additional $4 with any single wash.
The tunnel uses Belanger SpinLite equipment, which turns its wheels at about a third of the speed of traditional equipment, with ShineMitt media that is thick and sturdy yet gentle like a hand-wash. The final rinse is spot free reverse osmosis water.
8 AM to 8 PM every day, weather permitting, at 6066 Balboa Avenue, San Diego, CA 92111, on the northwest corner of Balboa and Abernathy Avenues in front of Genesee Plaza. Call (858) 495-9274.
The pay terminals accept cash, credit cards, bar-coded coupons, Apple Pay and Android Pay. You can buy a single wash, join a plan or buy a gift card at each visit.
