Re: Where else to get car washed and waxed near Ajijic?

I think the car wash mentioned west of Roberto's has been closed for a while. It has a for sale sign on it.

Yes, that big one is closed. That is the same one that had all those fighting cocks in cages at the back of the place a few years ago. Rumor was that the place was a money laundering facility.

Yikes. We used to go there years ago but they increased their prices dramatically so found some place else. It was a good place to have the car done and you could eat lunch at one of the nearby restaurants. Never did see any fighting cocks there but didn't go to the back.

It has had a for sale sign on it, but it has been open most days anyway. We had the car washed there last Wednesday.
They did a good job.

Those fighting cocks have been long gone. Juicy rumors though. Twisted Evil

Oh, good to know they are still open. I thought with the realtor for sale sing on them they were toast.

It's a bit more than a rumor. I know someone who was advocating for their removal at the time and he was warned in no uncertain terms to back away. He did.......

That's the best place. Muhoyo (sp?) Their wash is practically a full detail job! The one by Roberto's is useless, those kids don't know anything!

Yes, Raffa is good. Doesn't he also sell used CRV's out front?

by David Fri Apr 15, 2016 12:43 pm

He does. Sometimes other makes as well. A friend bought a good CRV from him last year. Straight deal, no BS and he takes car of all the paperwork, plates, etc..

by CanuckBob Fri Apr 15, 2016 12:54 pm

Yep, I have a friend that also bought a quality used CRV from him. Great deal and absolutely no hassle.

Rafa, hands down.
