Car Wash Hours, Late and on Sunday
Every Bluffton car wash is open on Sunday. The three Zips and Tidal Wave run 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day, and Sportwash’s self-serve bays never close. Coastal Sunset on Bluffton Parkway closes earlier in the evening, so call it before you go late.
Express Tunnel, Self-Serve or Detailing
An express tunnel (Tidal Wave and the three Zips) is the quick choice: you stay in the car, ride through in a few minutes, then pull into a free vacuum lane. Tidal Wave sells monthly unlimited plans, which pay off for anyone who washes more than a couple of times a month. Self-serve bays (Sportwash, and the bays at Coastal Sunset) suit a truck, a trailer or a car too tall for a tunnel. For an inside-and-out clean, Coastal Sunset also details cars.
After a week at the beach, a wash and a vacuum clear the salt spray and sand before you return a rental car or head home. On the island, see the car washes in our Hilton Head auto services guide.
