I came to Scrubbers because the carwash at the Coles around the corner was out of action and I needed to clean my very dirty rental car before I returned it. I decided on the auto wash machine so that I didn't have to do any work myself but there was a bit of a line. When I got in queue a staff member approached the vehicle and explained that there was a bit of a wait, but her and her colleague can hand wash it. I am so glad i chose that option. It was very thorough and i didn't even have to get out of the car. She even brought the eftpos terminal to me so i didn't have to get out of the car to pay! super easy and a good price too - currently $18. Have no hesitations recommending.

Had to clean a rental car and chose this place because it was the closest. I thought it would be like any other car wash, I was pleasantly surprised. As soon as I pulled in I was greeted by possibly Tasmania’s friendliest person (Steven). I could instantly tell that he was passionate about his job and his detailing. He went through the best steps for cleaning the car and even offered some tools to help. In addition to Steven’s amazing attitude the facility itself was clean,working and well managed. Would recommend this place to anyone. Thank you once again Steven From The two boys in the jimny

machines with new EFTPOS installed were super misleading, beware when using. We were using coins and were short of a dollar, so we tapped our card, thinking it would allow us to choose an amount to be charged. It didn’t - took the full amount of an entire car wash. We realised only some of the EFTPOSes had this issue and we were the unlucky ones. Staff onsite were notified but couldn’t do much about it so we just let the extra 6 mins run out. Refer to the picture and you’ll see how it can be misunderstood. Do take note of that when coming to this car wash.

  • Russell Lean

The man on duty when we went there on Thursday the 22nd Feb 2018, was possibly the most helpful person I have ever met. We had a little issue on the roof of our hire car that needed polishing and he spent like 20 minutes making sure it was all good and then checked it again after the auto wash and re-polished it. It was really amazing to find such a generous hearted fellow. Thanks so much - I wish i could remember your name. We were there at about 2pm.

  • Sally Banks

Music too loud. Would like more info on how long you get for each cycle e.g. 2 mins for $2??. Didn't know which hose to use for some cycles - timer should start when you start hose. Wasted about 20 seconds for the conditioning cycle while working out hose. Same for vacuuming and aif spray i.e. timer should start when start using hose and stop when you release button to move round car. Overall like the convenience and set up.

  • Sebastian Barthez

The boss is definitely friendly and humble person, quite like his service attitude even though it's my first time being there and have explanation from him in how to use the equipment or changing money. The only small problem is the hose connector has a little crack, and water come out from there and wet my clothes. The boss should fix it. The one on the right hand side after your enter from the entrance.

  • Philip Banham

I had my car parked under eucalypt trees for months *coughs years*. When it was manned they worked away the layers of grime and were extremely thorough. Only negative, it's kind of odd sitting in the car watching people clean your car (that highlights my sense of guilt). That was all before I took it through the automated car wash. Crazy. Well worth it!!!! I give it 5 out of 5 possum poo encrusted cars.

  • k hop

Took the car for a quick clean of a particular spot with just $2. Soaped the car a bit with the left over time, intending to rinse it off at home. staff ran out to tell us we had left soap on, worried it would dry and stain the car, and bringing us back up where they washed the soap off for us, no charge (we had no More coins handy).definitely going above and beyond for customers. Thanks guys!

  • JJUDDY007 Gaming

The owner of the car wash (VW Touareg) has no regard for professionalism! Nearly wiped out 2 cars due to not staying within his own lane in a roundabout and then swerving at the car that honked at him further down the road! Dangerous, erratic and unprofessional. Wouldn't trust a person that treats other vehicles with such disregard to run a car wash business!

  • Ciara Lavender

Worst place ever, took almost an hour to get into the auto wash. More expensive than most places for a below average wash (have to spend extra for a basic polish or dry). Most of the self vacuum machines are out of order and only take coins. Waste of time and money. Edit: now in another car wash because it came back dirtier than before.

  • Louisa Anderson

We took our hire car through the Auto wash & the gentleman was so great & went the extra mile as he manually washed along with the auto wash to make our car extra clean. Can’t say anything negative. Best car wash I have been to in a long time! Pretty awesome to have the service & care in this modern world we live in. Thankyou …

  • Alexandra Sumner

Seriously impressed by the effort put in by the lovely staff member today. I paid for the Level 3 wash, and assumed it would just be the drive through, but the lovely guy working also did an incredibly thorough job of sponging my car down (which I never do)! Thank you so much for making my Jeep not look like such a tip rat.

  • Chris Jones

I was in the queue for the automatic carwash, which I never use, but the kids were in the car and wanted to try it. It was a long queue though, and one of the attendants came over and offered to hand wash the car for me. He did a great job, and charged me about the same (or slightly less) than the auto wash. Legend.

  • chris kettleton

Scrubbers in Hobart is the absolute best car wash I've ever used. Not only did they spend double the time on my car than others do, it's like it was as new. The staff were genuinely cheery and friendly also. I'll definitely recommend anyone to go there, so happy with them.

  • D No

The $14 express auto clean is insanely good value. The attendant gives a good hand wash before the machine does its bit. Heads up it takes a little longer (~15 mins all up, after queuing) than some drive through joints. But no complaints as the service is easily worth it.

  • Matt S

All typical services you’d expect available. Wash, vacuum, auto wash etc. Not all of the stations for manual/hand washing have eftpos. There is a change machine if you have notes as well as vending machine for various car cleaning products. Prices are reasonable.

  • Akash Saha

Pretty busy place but doesn’t compromise on the service, very quick and efficient stuff. Boys have well taken care of my car, did they a detailed cleaning of the outside of my car at a minimum rate. Didn’t had to wait to long, I would recommend this place.

  • Jonathan Wright

Simply *the* best place in Hobart for getting hire cars, campervans, etc., cleaned before returning them, assuming you don't want to pay through the nose for the hire company to do it themselves. Scrubbers are professional and thorough and

  • Pratik

I would say i come across one of the best automatic car wash. More than worth spending $20 for my car wash. First they will manually clean the car and after that they put the car in automatic wash. After washing it dry the car as well.

  • Michael Houston

I took my Mach 1 Mustang here this morning after driving down from Launceston and having done track days at Symmons Plains and Baskerville. It was covered in bugs, grass, rubber off the tracks etc etc. The young guy went the full nine

  • Alex H

They hand washed my car when the autowash was backed up, fast and efficient service, maybe a little more attention to the quality of work could be paid (a few bits were missed here and there) but for $16 it is more than acceptable.

  • T N

Hand wash. Machine coin deposit broke, guy cleared it but took all the coins I’d put in and just walked off. Resorted to card. Settings on dial weren’t working correctly and timer in minutes out. Said 8 but ended in 5 by the clock.

  • Julia Salisbury

Fantastic service, with a smile. I had quite a dirty car and they went the extra mile! Very appreciated! I am from Qld be borrowed my friends car and wanted to give it back sparkling - this certainly did the trick! Thanks team!

  • Nick Cowan (Damnedfish)

Very good value when the attender is there. Amazing prewash, both prewash soak and scrub, sponge wash and pressure clean prior to the auto. Then the power of the auto bay clean as well. Definitely got my value worth. Recommend

Self was. Wasn't sure what to do. Michael was amazing. Provided guidance and kept checking on us. Went the extra mile giving tips in vaccuming and cleaning mats. Great value and experience. Thank you so much. …

  • Chris Hawksbee

Amazing.Thanks so much to the young guy who was washing the cars before entry to the car wash. He cleaned silcon and tirelessly hand washed our car. He was also friendly and informative. What a great employee.

  • Tammy Bennett

After waiting almost 30mins behind 4 cars the attendant who does the prewash yelled and swore at me to move up. Unbelievable treatment of a customer who'd already been waiting half an hour! Never going back!!

  • Dan

Talked me into a hand was and used a new high pressure hose. They ended up stripping the paint of my bonnet. I have 2 large chips in the bonnet that has gone down to the metal. Real amateurs at this place.

  • Ollie

The best car wash in Hobart hands down. The team here are always thorough and have your car cleaner before it enters the drive through wash than most washes will get your car by time you drive out.

  • Graeme Cawood

Had a great experience with cleaning a dirty rental car. The young guy had exceptional customer service and was so helpful. Great cleaning process ensures the car leaves clean. Highly recommended

  • Jeff Conrades

First time at a car wash. Staff really helpful as didn't have a clue what to do. Did it myself and it cost around $10 to clean one very dirty 200 series LandCruiser. A bloody bargain …

  • brent gray

love coming here and supporting a local business..I have been using it for close to 6 years and never had a problem...when someone is there they are always friendly and very helpfull

  • Hung Vuong

$1 for 1 min 15 sec seems a tad short especially when it takes a few seconds to start spraying water from the gun. Otherwise no other issues with the car wash and the vacuum bays.

  • Bradley Bradley

The bloke running the place is helpful and nice. Pretty big set up but it does get busy at peak times being the only one around, so be aware you might wait for the auto wash.

  • Joanne Webb

We went through automatic car wash & paid for the premium wash. We were blown away by the exceptional friendly service we received by the attendant managing the car wash.

  • Tassie Twinlocked 4x4

Auto wash broke down half way thru the girls car in front of me, had no issues in the bay b4 hand doing my wheels tho, but obviously no automatic working wash tho …

  • Lachie Robertson

Super friendly staff, gave his opinion on what he thought would be best suited to get the mud off the car. He hand wash part of it too which was extra. Good prices too

  • Jared Rattray

Last time I went here I barely got my car washed for $5 using the high pressure spray and soap. They have reduced the time per dollar dramatically. I will not be back.

  • Johan Lukeij

Oh yeah. You go down the wrong road and come back covered in dirt. Pull in here and in no time you come out again clean. One auto wash, several self wash bays. Sweet.

  • Allan MacCaul

$6- didn't vacuum my car, Howrah car wash is much much better value.. I was going to wash car as well, but not after the vacuum took the piss.. I'll go elsewhere...

  • Emily O'Brien

We paid for the automatic car wash and one of the staff soaped and scrubbed the wibdows/ windscreen/ wheels before the automatic wash. Very helpful. Great service.

  • yige gao

Super helpful and friendly staff. Cleaned our rental car last day. And good price only $23 for everything including cleaning and vacuuming. Recommend it everyone!

  • Dawar Hamd Rehman

When i went, the pre-soak was out of order and was necessary to get the grime and bugs off my car. Otherwise seemed like a decent place to get your car cleaned

  • Bren Xu

The worker who cleaned my car along side the automated machine did a great job and went as fast as he could while still taking care. Would come here again.

  • Chuksy Naza

Good for a quick car wash. They do more than just let the machine run through your car during their manned hours and that makes it even better to go then.

  • Kath Tillly

Car wash attended was lovely. Facilities very clean. We also used the dog wash bay which was so much cleaner than others ive been to and had warm water.

  • Marley Fitchett

The staff here are always so helpful! I love that they offer to hand wash my car when the auto bay is really busy. Great service & friendly staff.

Not too bad but delays in water and or chemicals being dispensed after placing coins can be as much as 20seconds which is a rip off
