Need some advice just brought my car over from Northern Ireland for the term til i go home for summer.
Anyone reccomend a good carwash around as ive no access to a hose or outside water(live in student halls)
Also where would be the best place if i needed parts if something broke?

tried one of those self service washes but the money you put through the machine to get a full wash it would work out cheaper putting it through an attended wash just want some recommendations if people know of any good places in merseyside?

There is a car wash in prescot that gives ' the best hand job in prescot' according to their big sign. can try and get the postcode for you if you want?
There is quite a few hand car wash places in liverpool, Im convinced a few are just money laundering drug fronts. Ive been turnd away from one too, just said where closing now ,at about 3.30pm :S

They're tax havens aswell. as it's easy to play down what they are earning.

Which halls are you in? As has been said there are hand car wash places everywhere... just pick one that's always busy and you can't go wrong really.
There are quite a few Culmacs for parts. Number I have is 0151 525 4311. Ring them and ask which shop is close to you.

Edge Lane, Green Lane or Kensigton mate. That's where i go as i don't have access to running water anymore.
I use the one in Green Lane but the other two are the same company. They do a half decent job... Wash and Wax for £5.
I take my car and the van there. My sister reccomended them to me - she gets hers done every week

As for parts there's a decent scrap yard on Long Lane, been there a few times. Always have Corsa B's and C's in.
For new stuff there is a Vauxhall garage on Vauxhall Road. Used them a few times and are sound.
My mate usually fixes my car for a lift or two here and there / engine removals so not sure on cheap places for repairs.
Ian and Ste will be able to advise more, they know a bit more about vehicles than me

Not been there for a few years but used to be brilliant.
