Does anyone have photos of the A 1 Car Wash Touchless 24 Hour in Dartmouth?
I'm working on getting my driver's license soon, and I want to find a good place to keep my car clean, maybe even before prom. I've heard a bit about the A 1 Car Wash Touchless 24 Hour in Dartmouth but haven't seen what it looks like.
Has anyone been there or have recent photos of how it looks, especially the facilities? If you could describe what it's like or maybe post pics of the outside or the actual touchless wash setup, that would help a lot. I just want to get a feel for how safe and reliable it is before I spend any money.
Is it usually busy at certain hours, or does the 24-hour thing actually mean it's quiet most of the time? Appreciate any insight or visuals you all might have from this place.

While I can't post photos directly here, I can describe the A 1 Car Wash Touchless 24 Hour in Dartmouth to give you a solid idea of what to expect. The facility is on the smaller side compared to some chain car washes, but it's generally clean and pretty straightforward to use. The building is a simple brick structure with a couple of bays that have large overhead doors. There's a touchless automatic wash bay and a self-serve section if you prefer more control. The touchless bay uses high-pressure water jets and detergents—no brushes touch your car, which is great if you're worried about scratches on a newer vehicle.
Outside, you'll see clear signage and usually a couple of vacuums available for detailing your interior. The pay station at the entrance to the automatic bay accepts both cards and cash, which is super convenient. There's also usually good lighting at night, making it feel decently safe if you head there late.
Regarding crowds, the 24-hour schedule does mean you can go almost any time, but late afternoon and evening (around 5-8 PM) can see a little more traffic, especially after work hours in the spring and before prom season when a lot of students have the same idea. Early mornings or late at night are generally quieter.
As an example: I went by before a big family event one Saturday morning and had no line at all, but when I drove by on a Friday evening, there were a few cars waiting. If you want to play it safe before a big occasion, aiming for morning or late-night is a good bet.
If you’d like to see actual visuals, you might look up reviews on Google Maps or Yelp. Users often upload recent photos of the facility, including the bays and exterior layout, so you can check the current state of the wash. Hope that helps you feel more confident about using A 1!
