Your car must be running and in neutral gear while going through an automated car wash.
- Ancapistani 3y agoIt depends on the style of automatic wash, but even for the ones that pull the vehicle along... why would you leave it running? Not only does that waste fuel, it seems like a good way to get carbon monoxide poisoning.
- soco 3y agoNot in my country - or any I have ever visited. Interesting discovery, I always assumed "car washes" would be a basic service running the same everywhere. Anyway, why should the engine be running for washing??? In neutral gear means it's not going to drive, so...?
- ricardobeat 3y agoThe car washes here pull you by the front tire. The other wheels need to roll, which would not be possible with the car turned off - either a gear would be engaged, or the parking brake applied automatically.
