When I got new wheels and tires I didn't even consider that my favorite full-service car wash, the kind of place with multiple employees who wipe your car inside and out after it goes through the wash, would no longer be able to accommodate my truck... I was pretty broken up about it because I love to run it through the wash and keep it clean, and they always did a great job...
For the last few weeks, I've been trying to keep it clean at a rinky dink shady local drive-thru touch-free car wash where their s&%t is always broken and the truck never gets clean, and pulling my hair out...
This weekend, I discovered there's a NEW car wash in town. I called the place and spoke to Dave. I said "I have custom wheels and tires and I'm wondering how wide of a wheel your wash can accommodate?" He paused like he didn't understand what I was asking and then said "We don't use the typical blah, blah, blah, so I'm pretty sure, whatever you got, it's gonna fit."
Turns out this wash is like a space age futuristic joint where you drive your vehicle onto a conveyor belt and your vehicle just rides it through... wheels motionless, doesn't matter how wide they are... even if you got a truck with duallies, doesn't matter.
So I show up to get my wash and as I'm pulling in, the guy spraying down my truck with the high pressure gun looks up at me in the cab, points at me, and then makes a gesture like holding a phone to his ear, as if to say "Did you call me?" I smiled and nodded. He smiled back and gave me a thumbs up.
Saved my life. The truck is clean.
