This article needs expanding. Please help by adding some relevant content. Include car washes from other GTAs? |
The car wash is a business featuring in many Grand Theft Auto games but functional in Grand Theft Auto IV that lets the player take any passenger car, light truck or SUV to this facility to remove dirt, grime, and the occasional blood. It is not usable if the player has a wanted level. The charge is $5 (see exception) per vehicle, per wash.
Grand Theft Auto San Andreas
Car washes are found all over the state of San Andreas although they do not interact with the player in any way as they are considered static objects. The player may still drive through the car wash and they also are often attached to a gas station. They were believed to be featured in the game until Rockstar dropped it for unknown reasons.(?)
