    Guess ill start off. Place off i285/i75 (exit 58 & exit 236 respectively) Sun Petro in Atlanta, Georgia. Wash & go, don't park. They do charge for parking as I understand. (There's at least one truck stop with free parking within 20 miles in any given direction.)

    They do a good job from what I've seen, but it isn't consistent job. You have to inspect and keep on them to make sure it's done right some days. 35$ for tractor only but I'm not sure what it costs for the trailer included.

    If you're bobtail and want your cholesterol to peak a bit, try the Zestos across the street. There's tractor parking behind them, dirt lot. So get washed after.

    Theyll do the whole truck. I only go through bobtail because I change trailers everyday and sni doesn't reimburse for washes. Bothers me when my tractor looks messy.

    I don't know what they'll charge you though, I only know the price for bobtail. If you're interested, drop them a line on CB. Usually they'll have someone on it.

    Edit: if I wasn't leaving out at 2am id ask for you.

    Manheim, PA, Adcock Bros does a good job. They put acid on one of our trucks once and killed the shine on the tanks and grill, but they polished the whole truck to make it right. We've been using them for years, only that 1 issue and they owned up to it.

    One thing I've notice on trailers with parflex hose, watch anyone washing your truck closely. If they run too much heat and get too close, it will tear up hydraulic hoses. Been there, done that. It's really easy to do on Parflex, not so much on rubber hose.

    They kinda do it all, haul cars to/ from auction, rep cars at auction. Past year or so they opened a full shop across from Manhiem Auto auction for car haulers. Cotrell authorized service center.

    I went by the place in forest park, ga. They do wash the inside and outside of car haulers. Outside only for 40$ (don't quote me) and inside and outside for 100$.

    Only stipulation is you have to be empty.
