About
At State Street Hand Car Wash, we take pride in providing professional, hand-detailed service for every vehicle. Our team uses high-quality products to help each car receive careful attention. Serving Chicago drivers for years, we value our customers’ trust and look forward to helping keep every vehicle looking its best.
How We Work
Washing and finishing are done by hand. A person decides how much attention a panel, wheel or jamb needs, rather than a fixed machine cycle.
Our team uses high-quality products so that each vehicle receives careful attention across the surfaces customers actually see.
Package inclusions, prices by vehicle size, detailing durations and our operating policies are all published rather than explained at the counter.
We serve drivers across Chicago from our State Street location in the South Loop, and we value the trust of the customers who return to us.
