Salt, sand, grime, and winter buildup can cause wear and corrosion over time. DOC’s Place car washes make it easier to keep your vehicle clean with convenient locations, multiple wash options, and simple payment methods. Many DOC’s Place locations offer Gentle Bear wash options, and some locations include touchless or tunnel wash systems. At select sites, you can purchase a wash during your fuel stop, which makes it faster to handle everything in one trip.
