Frequently Asked Questions
Before You Visit
How does Bubble Bay work?
We’re a full-service hand wash, which means we do all of the work for you! Simply pull up to our menu board, choose your service, and we’ll take it from there. We’ll take your vehicle through the wash while you head inside to our comfortable lobby to pay and relax while we finish your vehicle.
Do I need an appointment?
Nope! We’re first come, first served. Just pull in during our business hours and we’ll take care of you.
Will my vehicle fit?
We can accommodate most cars, SUVs, and trucks. Because of the height of our rinse arch and the width of our wash track, vehicles must meet these requirements:
-
At least 5" of clearance underneath
-
Tires 12" wide or less
-
Under 7'6" in total height
Not sure if your vehicle will fit? You can always come by to verify and we’ll be happy to help!
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept most major credit cards, Apple Pay, contactless pay, and cash.
Our Services
Your Bubble Works service includes an interior "maintenance clean". What does that mean?
Our interior maintenance cleaning keeps your interior looking and feeling fresh. It includes: vacuuming your floors , mats, and seats; cleaning your interior glass, and wiping down your interior surfaces. It's not a detail, but it's a great way to keep your vehicle clean and refreshed between deeper cleanings.
How long will my wash take?
We know your time is valuable! Our goal is to have you back on the road quickly without sacrificing quality. For our Bubble Wash (exterior only), we aim to have your service complete in 15 minutes or less. For the Bubble Works (exterior + interior), our goal is to have your service complete in 30 minutes or less. Service times may vary slightly depending on vehicle size and how busy we are, but we’ll always work efficiently while giving your vehicle the care and attention it deserves.
Do you offer detailing?
Not quite yet! Our goal is to first establish Bubble Bay as Spokane's trusted destination for high-quality hand washing before expanding into additional services, but detailing is coming very soon!
Is Bubble Bay safe for my new car?
Absolutely! Our hand wash process is designed to be safe for your vehicle's finish. We don't use harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes. Your vehicle is only touched by our soft wash mitts and a clean dry towel.
Can I stay in my car while it's being washed?
Because Bubble Bay is a full service wash, we take your vehicle through the wash for you and customers are not allowed in the wash or service area. You can watch your vehicle being washed through our lobby windows.
