Most automatic car washes clean the undercarriage of the vehicle if you purchase the right package. However, not all car washes are created equal. You need to make sure that the car wash you use has enough water pressure to really blast the underbody and get all the grime off.

Many car washes do include an undercarriage wash option, but it varies by location and type of wash. Here’s what to consider:

Types of Car Washes

1. Touchless Car Washes:

   • Some touchless washes have undercarriage sprays that help remove dirt, salt, and grime from the underside of the car.

2. Automatic Car Washes:

   • Many automatic washes include an undercarriage wash as part of their service, usually delivered through special nozzles that spray from below.

3. Self-Service Washes:

   • If you’re using a self-service wash, you can often use a high-pressure wand to clean the underside yourself.

Importance of Undercarriage Washing

• Rust Prevention: Regularly washing the undercarriage is essential, especially in areas where road salt is used, as it helps prevent rust and corrosion.

Conclusion

If you're concerned about the cleanliness of your car’s undercarriage, it’s a good idea to ask about this feature at the car wash you choose. If it’s not included, consider a self-service wash or doing it at home.
