Hand-Finished Clean for Every Vehicle.
A hands-on exterior wash for trucks, SUVs, and drivers who want closer attention than a tunnel can give.
When should you choose a hand wash over a tunnel wash?
Choose the Out of Tunnel Wash at Arizona Auto Wash when your vehicle is too large for a conveyor, when you want closer attention to wheels and trim, or when a sensitive finish calls for gentler, hands-on care. It fits oversized trucks and SUVs, and drivers in Scottsdale, AZ who simply prefer a personal touch.
The Out of Tunnel Wash is a hands-on exterior wash performed outside the automated tunnel. A technician works through the body panels, wheels, and trim by hand, which makes it ideal when vehicle size, finish sensitivity, or a preference for personal care makes a conveyor wash impractical. Arizona Auto Wash has served the Scottsdale area since 1999, bringing over 27 years of family-owned experience to every vehicle we touch. Whether you drive a full-size pickup, a lifted SUV, or a car you simply want handled with extra care, our team gives it the time and attention that an automated pass cannot.

What Affects the Cost.
Exact pricing for the Out of Tunnel Wash hasn't been finalized on this page, so cost depends on a few concrete factors rather than a single flat rate.
• Vehicle size — full-size trucks and SUVs take more time and product than sedans
• Current condition — heavy dirt, mud, or road grime adds time
• Add-on treatments — wheel dressing or trim conditioning layered onto the base wash
