    Does anyone know of a truckwash in the city proper? South or Westside preferred. There has got to be a Ma and Pa shop alternative to BB somewhere but I can't find anything online. Thanks in advance

    I fueled there a few times (kind of a dump) but didn't know they had a wash there. Thanks TD

    SINCE THE TRUCKMAT closed on the south side--pretty much SOL--not sure where you run--but as much as Im not a Beacon fan--the one in oak Creek Wi--does a fairly good job
    Good Luck

    I had called Filipes a few times but got no answer. I tried again this morning and someone called me back so I'm going to check them out. FYI they wash and will detail the inside but don't polish chrome wheels. I'll post prices after I go there if case anybody's interested

    I've had good experiences with Tulsa when we're down there, looks like a dump, but they do good work! Let us know about Filipe's when you're through with them please!

    Just park it on a side road for a couple of hours, it should be stripped clean by the time you get back... :biggrin_25523:

    If it's just a bobtail you can try the car wash in Elk Grove Village on Higgins and Lively. They detail big rigs.
