Automatic Car Washes in Richmond, VA
Part of the Richmond car wash market · Richmond metro
Data updated · May 22, 2026
Richmond's automatic (in-bay) car washes trail its other washes on rating.
An in-bay automatic wash is the kind where you pull into a single bay, put the car in neutral, and the equipment moves around the stationary vehicle. Many are touchless (high-pressure water and chemistry, no brushes); others use soft cloth.
In-bay automatic is for convenience: it's the format you'll find bolted onto gas stations and c-stores, ideal for a quick hands-off wash, and — in touchless form — the gentlest option for delicate or freshly-coated paint.
