Self-serve car washes, independents first

Durham Region and the east GTA, Ontario · Profiles checked November 2, 2026

This shelf profiles the independent layer of the wash business: self-serve coin bays and stand-alone in-bay automatics. Express tunnels and gas-bar bays are excluded by design — the census counted roughly 6 tunnel sites and some 50 fuel-brand wash points in the patch and left every one of them off this shelf.

Profiles built from public sources, checked November 2, 2026. A price appears on a card only where the operator publishes one, with the source named on the card. Jellyfish does not own or manage these washes. Any operator who wants a profile changed or removed gets it done on request.

Grouped by city, alphabetical inside each city. Nothing buys position.

19 sites profiled — 7 with their own website, 6 publishing a price and 12 with no website at all. Prices are structurally scarce in this layer: bay counts, hours and payment types are the facts these operators actually publish, so those are the facts the cards carry.

Verified — confirmed by the operator

No operator on this shelf has verified their profile yet. Verification opens with our contact round: when an operator confirms their details, their card moves up here and carries the confirmed date.

Profiled — from public sources

Built from public sources and checked on the date each card states. Any operator can confirm, correct or remove their profile on request — confirmed profiles move to Verified above.

Also under Jellyfish: North Carolina car washes

The same shelf, another state. Jellyfish also profiles the independent self-serve and in-bay automatic washes of North Carolina, from Charlotte to Asheville, under the same rules: public sources, checked dates and prices only where the operator publishes them.
