Manhattan Beach · 12 min from Manhattan Beach Pier
Twelve minutes south of the Manhattan Beach Pier on Pacific Coast Highway sits a local Redondo Beach wash with clear prices, full-service options, detailing by appointment, and a hand-dry finish on full-service packages. If beach parking and coastal air are wearing on the car, the extra few minutes south are worth the drive.
Pull in sandy. Roll out sparkling.
Coastal air ages paint faster than inland air, and a rushed dry can leave a car looking unfinished. If you have invested in paint correction, a ceramic coating, or you just bought a car you want to keep looking new, regular washing plus a proper hand-dry finish is the practical rhythm.
Twelve minutes south of the Pier puts you in our bay.
The covered wash bay on the south side of Torrance Blvd, just east of PCH. Regular washes do not need an appointment; detailing does. Catch you on the next wave.
Getting here from Manhattan Beach
From Manhattan Beach Pier, head east on Manhattan Beach Blvd to Pacific Coast Highway. Turn right (south) on PCH and stay on it through Hermosa Beach. Cross the Redondo line at Aviation, and at Torrance Blvd turn left. We're 617 Torrance Blvd, two blocks east. About 12 minutes door-to-door without weekend Pier traffic. From east Manhattan Beach (Mira Costa, MBHS), Aviation Blvd south to Artesia then west to PCH is sometimes faster — about 11 minutes.

Manhattan Beach questions, answered
Redondo Car Wash, twelve minutes south on PCH at 617 Torrance Blvd. Exterior washes start at $10, full-service starts at $25, and Big Kahuna adds the strongest finish on the wash menu.
Yes. We use pH-balanced soap and soft-cloth pads — safe for factory paint protection film and aftermarket ceramic coatings. If you've had paint correction or have a ceramic coat, let the crew know and we'll skip the tire dressing too.
Every day. Large vans, EVs, and lifted vehicles are welcome. Full-service packages carry a vehicle-size upcharge for the extra hand-dry time. Call ahead if you're driving anything especially tall and we'll confirm bay clearance.
Clear prices, full-service vacuuming, hand-dry finish, and detail packages by appointment. If those matter for the car you actually care about, twelve minutes is a small price.
