Automatic car wash

Only touch less here

Once a week if its not raining or snowing that day . I guess ours is considered touchless because it has soft cloth strips that lightly scrub and pressure nozzles not brushes but the wind turbine drier's still make you think its going to rip the hood and roof off ! Ours is only $19.95 a month unlimited so its hard to go wrong there

I don't daily my Ram but I too have unlimited membership which also saves 15-25 cents per gallon on fuel. I wpuld go a few times a week when I was not driving a company vehicle to and fro. We live in the salt belt and even on nice winter days our vehicles get $hitty from salt dust, melting snow runoff, etc. It sucks but it's home. Just visited AZ and was jealous of how vehicles stayed clean and beyond that....rust free!

We have 3 unlimited memberships on the same card, and the fuel savings go up for each additional membership. It varies depending on the price of fuel, but when it’s at ~$3.40 regular price, it’s a $0.45 discount. The membership starts at $13/mo for each vehicle, then goes to full price $30 each. When that happens, I’ll just negotiate like you do with phone and cable- tell them I’ll go to wash down the road, and they’ll start the promotions over again.

touchless only...

Yes, until I got my dually, now I don't fit in any of our car washes. Hand wash for me now

Was considering a dually when I purchased my '21 (mixed feelings on whether I chose correctly).
At any rate, while considering, was looking at that issue.
We have a place that is the drive-in, then the machine moves around you. This WILL fit a dually, and the length of our CCLB also fits.

The added bonus is it's touchless. Doesn't do a great job, but helps keep the salt off during the winter.

I have Unlimited membership from my local carwash. I wash my truck at least once a week on my way home from work. Sometimes twice a week, but we don't have snow here. Central Texas.

The sound inside the truck is bad, really bad. When the truck passes the dryer I can see the hood cave in. Scary.

I don't remember being this loud inside the cabin when I used to wash my 2016 3500. Same carwash.

Good video to watch about carwash from the History Channel.

I never had an issue with my SRW trucks...the only damage I had was the back side of the passenger side mirror came off. The car washes are horrible about accepting and responsiblity. They all claim the car washes can cause no damage.

That pretty much soured me in car washes except the do it your self type...now that I have a dually that's the only option.

Our local unlimited joint is great about accepting responsibility. I had the rear bumper caps come off my 2nd gen in the wash and not only were we able to find them both times, but they offered me a gift card for $75. Guy came out and filled out a report and everything. I snapped it back on each time and drove off. I declined the 2nd gift card and the truck sold shortly after. Funny thing is something must have changed about the wash as I never had an issue for the previous 9 years.

My 2016 1500 has only been hand washed since it was new. I’m lucky enough to have a heated garage with floor drain and water.

After reading the replies in this thread, I tried a different automated car wash than I used the first time. MUCH better. It did not sound like my expensive truck was being destroyed. Obviously some are better than others.
Thanks to everyone who chimed in here.

My previous two Rams, 2005 and 2015, would get washed two times a year whether they needed it or not. Shortly after buying my 2021, I bought an unlimited wash membership in a local automatic carwash. Now my truck gets washed every time I drive to town.
