My friend's mom owns a Valero gas station in Fremont with a brushless carwash. It's off of the Automall exit. The carwash use's a laser spray technology, and it also Rain-X's your whole car. That's the only carwash I would take my car through. Sorry I don't remember the exact cross streets, but it's not that far when you get off the exit.

I go to the Chevron on Mowry right off the 880 Freeway in Fremont. I then dry it by hand. not exactly South Bay but close enough.

Next time you come by or are in the area hit me up and I'll show you. Its right across from Country Way.

Prices are $5 Basic, $7 ? (has color guard and wax), $9 Deluxe (same as $7 + RainX)



I use the $7 and dry by hand... Rain X is over rated....
