22 November



What’s the deal?

Between 15 and 28 November garage chain TOTAL is offering car washes for a quid, admittedly its just the more basic washes, but its still much cheaper.

How can I get one?

The promotion’s running every day and there are 227 garages participating. The £1 offer applies to roll over and jet washes. To find your nearest participating garage go here (though frankly this search isn't that useful, there's a Total garage near my house, but the one listed was 200 miles away!)

How much am I saving?

Car washes on offer usually cost either £2.99 or £4.99.

    Funny - their site tells me there are 3 near me - 2 in Lancashire and 1 in Surrey?? Might cost a bit too much in fuel to go there :rotfl:

    However, the TM-mobile is definitely in need of a wash....

    Our local Total doesn't have a car wash, shame that as the 4x4 hasn't been cleaned since we went off roading :) could have sneeked the quads in too, now that is what I call Muddy !!
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    I did - and then our water company issued a hosepipe ban! And it's still in force!

    Actually she feels she is an under pressure washer.She reminds me actually the nice savings made per year including not having a dishwasher.
    She still costs me a fortune to keep.:eek:

    Not too keen on car washes regarding liabilities and scratches .Like the good old sponge and chami on a regular basis.
