Allston Car Wash

When’s the last time a car-wash attendant opened a door for you? At Allston Car Wash, staffers are always courteous to customers — and make sure to dote on their vehicles, too. The crews are speedy, but never slipshod, as they tackle grit with a meticulous interior vacuuming, then banish grime with a top-of-the-line tunnel wash. The signature finishing touch: hand-drying in the form of a rubdown so thorough, it would do a masseur proud.
