Washing your TCH

Re: Washing your TCH
That's the assumption I made one time when I took it to get washed. Boy was I wrong. They had turned it off and the people who drove the cars out to get dried had NO CLUE what to do and ended up pushing it out of the way and to the drying spot. I'm sure MOST places know by now, but I wouldn't say ALL of them

Same here. Have only taken mine into a carwash twice and both times the guy that drives it out of the bay at the end of the wash couldn't figure out what to do. I anticipated that possibility and was waiting at the exit. The driver just sat on the horn to indicate a problem, I ran up and showed him what to do. He was completely dumbfounded.
Washing myself allows me to inspect the entire surface, and really "know" my cars. The fact that I live in a temperate climate, (if you call 108 degrees yesterday, and more of the same today, temperate!) allows me to wash the car weekly all year long.

Re: Washing your TCH
i took mine into a local car wash. they do a really good job. i never had a problem with the prius because it is OBVIOUSLY a hybrid. i had to tell the guy taking my car to leave it on while going through in neutral. just as i said that another guy got in to vacuum and turned it off. i pointed this out to the first guy and he turned it back on. i was sooooooooo nervous. all ended well and my new baby got it's first wash. i am glad i know enough about my car to ensure its care.
