History
Espresso Car Wash launched in 2004 with its first site at Moorhouse Ave, Christchurch and the first car ever washed was a midnight-blue Mercedes! With a steely determination to offer New Zealand’s highest quality professional hand wash the business grew and in 2005 we expanded to our second site at The Palms, Christchurch. 16 years later, the relentless focus on quality and customer service now sees the Espresso Car Wash brand offered at over 18 locations throughout New Zealand and in 2019 we helped clean over 400,000 cars. Car cleaning is in our blood and we look forward to giving you that new car feeling.

Car detailing is a specialised cleaning process that is essential for maintaining a car’s “as new” appearance, both internally and externally.
Where a regular car wash cleans, car detailing looks to remove blemishes, restore paintwork, and revitalise interiors from leather seats to plastic coverings.
Car detailing services are for customers who want their car to look the very best, whether for personal enjoyment or to increase resale value.
Interior detailing services include;- Cleaning & conditioning of dashboard & internal trims
- Leather seat cleaning & conditioning treatment or shampoo all seats
- Clean all interior door panels, pockets & plastics
- Clean interior glass to remove smears and streaks
- Clay bar treatment that removes surface contaminants such as tar and tree sap
- An all-over hand polish application that helps eliminate swirl marks
Our full detail service includes both interior and exterior detailing. Check out our detailing service options below to find the one right for you.
