That’s smart! Gas stations are a hidden gem for finding deals on car washes too.
If you’re in a pinch, just look for car washes with old-school signs. They often stick to cash to keep prices low.
I’ve been trying to avoid using cash lately. What if I can’t find one that takes cash? Is it worth calling several places, or just go for a quick wash somewhere that accepts cards?
I understand your concern! I think calling a few local spots first is a good idea before heading out.
The last car wash I went to only accepted cards! I had to bounce because I had cash on me. 
Definitely check ahead!
That’s hilarious but frustrating! Maybe carry a backup plan, like some coins just in case.
For a bit of humor, I walked into a car wash once just to find out they don’t take cash, and I was soaked by the rinse cycle! Learn from my mistakes!
Reflecting on this, it might be worth keeping an eye out for local bulletin boards. Sometimes community boards list services that are cash-friendly!
I love that idea! It’s always nice to support local businesses too.
I’ve always wondered if car washes take cash. Do they give change? That can be a hassle if they don’t!
Most places do accept cash, but it varies. Some might not have change, so it’s worth calling ahead!
I prefer cash for a lot of things, but with car washes, it can be a bit risky. What if I drop it or lose it?
That is one concern! Using a credit card can be safer. Plus, you can track your expenses more easily!

From my experience, many drive-thru car washes do take cash, but they often prefer cards for convenience.

That’s true, richard98! I feel like card payments speed things up at the car wash, especially during busy times!
I’ve noticed that some car washes offer a discount for cash payments, which is nice. But you have to check if they provide a receipt.
Good point, christopher67! It’s always best to ask for a receipt, especially if you need to keep track of expenses.
For me, it comes down to convenience. I forget to grab cash sometimes. It’s less of a hassle using my card.
Definitely! Plus, with the rise of technology, most places are equipped for card payments.

I don’t mind cash, but honestly, I always lose track of my spending. A card is better for keeping records!
