There is a coin op wash just west of Lexus of Stevens Creek on Stevens Creek Blvd. It's on the northside of the street. I forgot what cross streets.

If you are looking for a handwash carwash station, there is on on De Anza Blvd near 85 HWY Exit. it is a Chevron. $40 bucks for full wash + shampoo carpets.
They do my car all the time. their wash is okay for low cars, not too slammed.
They also protect your leather and dash.

very good quality. but if u want to wash it urself, the coinone is the way to go.

There's a few around that area....

These are brushless and hand car wash but all drive thru machine type, be carefull for all you lowered cars. Some of these places will not even take your car if you're too low.

These places also offer bucket wash, meaning your car will not go thru the drive thru machine. Con...it will cost you more.

All of the following 3 are less than a 3/4 mile from Stevens Creek Lexus

Finally they all offer waxing and buffing.

Harv's Car Wash
3941 Stevens Creek Blvd.
Santa Clara, CA
(Corner of Stevens Creek Blvd. and San Tomas Expwy)

Premier Car Wash
3941 Stevens Creek Blvd.
Santa Clara, CA
(Corner of Stevens Creek Blvd. and Buckingham Dr.)

Country Club Car Wash
4935 Stevens Creek Blvd.
Santa Clara, CA
(Recommended, My choice and I use them for my other vehicles)


Wash your self place.

Sparkling Detail
55 Saratoga Ave.
Santa Clara, CA
(Corner of Saratoga Ave. and Keystone Ave.)
This is a coin-op car wash location. It has 4-5 stalls and also vacuum available)



Professional detailing.

AJ Detailing ( http://www.ajautodetailing.com/ )
702 Coleman Ave.
San Jose, CA
(Very busy place...highly recommend going early)
Pros...they do a good job cleaning. Cons...A bit pricey and need to drop car off or wait for about 1 or 2 hours.



SUPER PROFESSIONAL DETAILERS

We've arranged a Hotel for many of the EOS7 out of town guests to stay.

If any one of them need a car wash once they arrive.

DO NOT follow any of these suggestions as i have a special spot 3 minutes from the hotel.

Contact me for those details.

Thanks



Great suggestions BTW everyone.

The closest DIY car wash to the Steven's Creek EOS location is the Sparkling Detail on Saratoga Avenue. (see it listed previously)

The closest Full Service car wash I TRUST is the Country Club.

The closest Car Wash to the Hotel where the EOS out of town visitors are staying is NONE of THESE.

For your security, I will not post that location. PM me for that spot.



I'm gonna close this thread for a bit so that my post doesn't get buried by a ton of other suggestions.

Honestly I think we have enough already.
