That's a great point, you actually reminded me of when I used to live in this small city and they had a valet style car wash. It was not unheard of to head there walking with your keys and tell the guy running shop where you parked around the block then come back later to pick it up.
replyEDIT: I actually think this is very common in some smaller cities and outside of North America. I only ever seen a drive-by Car Wash after emigrating
You pay at the car wash where I live.
replyAre you referring to one that is more like a drive-thru where you literally pay while you're in line?
replyYou drive up to the car wash, there's a little terminal with a screen and a card reader. You pick the program, pay for it and drive into the machine. Can't remember the last time I got out of my car when getting it washed.
