Most of the Algarve washes cars where they stand — driveways, marinas, hotel car parks. JustCars works the other way: a safe, late-contact hand wash under studio light at Almancil and Loulé, from €75 published, with free collection within 15 km covering Quinta do Lago, Vale do Lobo, Vilamoura and Quarteira — and Care Club members washing at half price.
Safe pre-wash, exterior + light interior refresh. In and out within the hour.
Full standard: exterior, interior, plastics, leather care, windows, tyres.
For cars after a real summer: upholstery extraction, vents, rails, boot. Returned dry.
Same price for every car size.
Three things wash cars in the Algarve: brush tunnels, buckets on driveways, and studios. The tunnel drags grit across every car in the queue — it is where swirl marks come from. The driveway is limited by whatever light, water and products fit in a boot. A studio wash starts contactless — pre-wash and rinse lift the abrasive dirt before any mitt touches the paint — and finishes under light that shows what actually happened.
The 'near me' part is solved by logistics rather than compromise: one WhatsApp message and the car is collected free within 15 km of the studios — Quinta do Lago, Vale do Lobo, Vilamoura, Quarteira, Almancil and Loulé are all inside the radius — washed at studio standard and returned, insured the whole time. From Faro and further, collection is arranged on request when you book.
“A wash is where paint is saved or lost. Grit off first, mitt last — that's the whole religion, and it's why dark cars leave our studio without new swirl marks.”
The 1-hour express hand wash (€75) is the maintenance rhythm — exterior done safely, interior refreshed, in and out within the hour. The 3-hour detailed wash (€150) is the full standard: interior care, door shuts, plastics, leather, glass, tyres. The 8-hour deep clean (€300) is the reset for cars that lived a real Algarve summer — upholstery extraction, sand out of the seat rails and boot, vents, every millimetre, handed back dry.
Two more anchors complete the picture: pre-sale preparation from €450, for cars about to be photographed and judged by strangers, and the Care Club — the region's loyalty programme — where members wash at −50%, as often as they like. All prices are published; nothing is recalculated at handover.
The Algarve has more coated, filmed and wrapped cars every season — and they need a wash that respects the protection: pH-neutral chemistry, no brushes, pressure kept away from film edges. That routine is our daily bread, and it applies whether the protection was fitted by us or anywhere else. It is also what keeps a film warranty alive: a €150 care wash every three months is part of the PPF care canon.
This hub sits above the town pages: Almancil, Loulé, Quarteira, Quinta do Lago, Vale do Lobo and Vilamoura each have their own wash page with their own scenarios — salt at the marina, golf dust at the resorts, market-day grit in town. Same studios, same published prices, wherever you start reading.
Yes — that's the routine: we collect the car free within 15 km of the studios (Quinta do Lago, Vale do Lobo, Vilamoura, Quarteira, Almancil, Loulé), wash it under studio light and bring it back insured. From Faro and beyond, collection is arranged on request when you book.
By the ocean, salt works on the paint daily. An express wash (€75) every two to four weeks keeps the protection and lacquer alive — and Care Club members do exactly that at −50%, as often as they like.
Almost always the 3-hour detailed wash (€150): interior after guests and beach kit, exterior done carefully. If there's sand in every rail and carpet, that's the 8-hour deep clean (€300) — extraction, vents, boot, returned dry.
