All questions

Do you come to our yard to wash trucks?

Yes. That's all we do. We bring the equipment, the hot water and the crew to your yard, lot or terminal and wash the trucks where they're parked.

Can you wash trucks at night?

Yes. Our crews work 24/7, so we can wash overnight or between runs when the trucks are parked.

Do you wash trucks in winter?

Yes, year-round and in any weather. Winter is when trucks need it most, because road salt eats at frames, brake parts and aluminum.

How much does a mobile truck wash cost?

It depends on the number of trucks, how often we come, and the type and condition of each unit. Every visit has a $350 minimum. Call or text for a quote, or see our cost guide.

Can you wash trailers on our drop lot?

Yes. We wash trailers where they sit, row by row, and work around the ones moving in and out of the doors.

Do you wash the inside of trailers?

Yes. We do interior trailer washouts for dry vans and reefers, pressure-washing the floor, walls and ceiling.

How long does it take to wash a 53-foot trailer?

An exterior wash on a 53-foot trailer usually takes a crew 15 to 30 minutes, depending on how dirty it is and whether it needs brushing. Larger crews work several trailers at once.

Is there a minimum?

Yes, $350 per visit. Most yards reach that easily, and sharing a visit with nearby units is an option for small fleets.

How often should we wash our fleet?

Most delivery and service fleets wash weekly or bi-weekly. Long-haul and dirty-industry fleets often go weekly, and many fleets increase frequency in winter because of road salt.

Can you wash our fleet overnight?

Yes. Overnight is the most common time we wash fleets, because the trucks are parked and the yard is quiet.

Do you invoice monthly?

Yes. Recurring fleets can be invoiced monthly; one-off jobs are invoiced per visit.

Can you provide insurance and WSIB documents?

Yes. We're fully insured and WSIB-covered, and can provide a certificate of insurance, WSIB clearance and safety data sheets on request.

Do you wash sleeper trucks?

Yes. Day cabs, mid-roof and high-roof sleepers are all washed the same way: foam, hot water and hand brushing on the cab and sleeper.

Can you wash a single semi truck?

Yes, as long as the visit reaches the $350 minimum. Owner-operators often share a visit with other trucks in the same yard.

Do you brighten aluminum on semis?

Yes. Aluminum brightening for fuel tanks, rims and bumpers is an add-on to any wash.

Do you wash rental and leased box trucks?

Yes. We wash rental and leasing fleets regularly, including before trucks go back at the end of a lease.

Is pressure washing safe for truck wraps?

Yes, when it's done right. We keep the right distance and pressure on wrapped and lettered panels.

Can you wash the inside of the box?

Yes. A box interior washout can be added to any wash.

Can you get dried mud off dump trucks?

Yes. Hot water and degreaser soften dried mud and clay so high pressure can flush it out of the frame and wheels.

Do you come to gravel pits and job sites?

Yes, as long as there's safe access and room to work.

Where does the muddy water go?

On most sites it runs to existing drains. If your site needs the water captured, tell us and we'll arrange it.

Do you wash garbage trucks overnight?

Yes. Most waste fleets have us wash after routes end or overnight, so trucks roll out clean.

Can you get rid of garbage truck odours?

Washing with hot water and degreaser removes the residue that causes most of the smell. Regular washing keeps it under control.

Can you capture the wash water?

Yes, if your site needs it. Let us know when you ask for a quote.

Do you clean the inside of tankers?

No. We wash tanker exteriors only. Interior tank cleaning needs a certified tank wash facility.

Can you polish aluminum tankers?

We do aluminum brightening, which removes oxidation and brings back the shine on aluminum tanks, rims and bumpers.

Do you wash milk tankers?

Yes, the exterior and the tractor.

Can you remove hardened concrete from a mixer?

Regular pressure washing removes fresh splatter and light build-up. Heavy cured concrete may need a specialist removal service first.

How often should mixer trucks be washed?

Ideally after every working day, or at least weekly, so splatter never has time to cure.

Do you wash at batch plants?

Yes, as long as there's safe access and room to work.

How many vans can you wash in one visit?

Depending on the crew size and how dirty the vans are, we can do dozens in one evening.

Do you wash vans at night?

Yes. Most van fleets have us wash after the vans come back for the day.

Can you wash trailers while they're parked at the dock?

Yes, as long as the trailer is safe to work around. Usually we wash trailers on the drop lot or when they're off the door.

Do you wash the inside of dry vans?

Yes, interior washouts are an add-on.

How do you get black streaks off white trailers?

Foam pre-soak, hot water and brushing. Streaks are oily road film, and hot water plus agitation lifts them far better than a cold rinse.

Do you wash the inside of reefers?

Yes. Reefer interior washouts with hot water are one of our most requested trailer services.

Can you wash reefers between loads overnight?

Yes, as long as the trailer is empty and available.

Do you provide a wash ticket?

We can confirm each unit washed on the invoice. If you need a certified food-grade wash ticket, ask us first.

Do you wash lowboys and float trailers?

Yes, including ramps and decks.

Can you wash wooden decks?

Yes. We adjust pressure on wood so it's cleaned without being gouged.

Do you do salt washes for flatbeds in winter?

Yes. A winter undercarriage flush is one of the best things you can do for a flatbed.

How long does a trailer washout take?

Usually 15 to 30 minutes per trailer, depending on what was in it.

Do you do washouts at night?

Yes, any time the trailers are empty and available.

Is a washout the same as sanitizing?

No. Our washout is a thorough hot-water pressure wash. Certified sanitizing is a separate standard; ask us if you need it.

Can you wash trucks when it's below freezing?

Yes. We use hot water, which melts ice and salt. We'll work in any weather you're comfortable with.

Does washing in winter cause freezing problems?

We take care around doors, locks and air systems. Washing when trucks will sit indoors or move soon after helps.

How often should trucks be washed in winter?

Weekly or bi-weekly for most fleets, more often after big storms.

Do you need someone on site at night?

Not usually. We arrange access ahead of time, and you tell us which units to wash.

Is overnight washing more expensive?

Not usually. Overnight is often easier for us because yards are quieter.

Do you bring lighting?

Yes, our crews work at night regularly and have what they need to see.

Is pressure washing an engine safe?

Yes, when it's done carefully. We protect electrical components and avoid direct high pressure on sensitive parts.

Can you degrease before an inspection?

Yes. Many fleets book a degrease before annual inspections or shop visits.

What degreaser do you use?

Double Trouble heavy-duty degreaser, with hot water.

Is brightening the same as polishing?

No. Brightening removes oxidation and film chemically for a clean, bright finish. Polishing is a separate mechanical process for a mirror shine.

Can you brighten aluminum trailers?

Yes, sides, rails, doors and decks.

How often should aluminum be brightened?

Every few months for most fleets, and after winter.

Can you do a one-time wash for lease returns?

Yes, as long as the visit reaches the $350 minimum.

Can you wash a fleet before an audit on short notice?

Usually. Tell us the deadline and the number of units.

Do you wash the inside of trailers for returns?

Yes, interior washouts are available.

How much does it cost to wash a semi truck?

A mobile wash for a semi tractor is typically $40 to $80 at fleet volume, depending on size, colour, condition and how often it's washed.

How much does it cost to wash a 53-foot trailer?

Typically $30 to $55 for an exterior wash at fleet volume, with interior washouts extra.

Is there a minimum charge?

Yes, $350 per visit.

Is a mobile truck wash more expensive than a drive-through?

Per wash it can be similar or a little more, but once you add driver time, fuel and downtime, mobile is usually cheaper for fleets.

Where is the nearest truck wash?

We come to you. Our mobile crews wash trucks and trailers at your yard anywhere in the GTA and southern Ontario.

Is there a 24-hour truck wash near me?

Our crews work 24/7, so we can wash at your yard any time of day or night.

Can you wash just one truck?

Yes, as long as the visit reaches the $350 minimum.

How often should a semi truck be washed?

Weekly, or at every reset, and more often in winter.

How often should trailers be washed?

Every two to four weeks for the exterior, with interior washouts as needed.

Does washing trucks prevent rust?

Regular washing removes road salt and grime that cause rust, which slows corrosion a lot, especially in winter.

Is a mobile truck wash cheaper than a drive-through?

For fleets, usually yes, once driver time, fuel and downtime are counted.

Is a mobile wash as good as a wash bay?

Often better, because a crew can hand brush and spend time on the areas that need it.

Do mobile washes work for big fleets?

Yes. Big fleets benefit the most, since we wash many units in one visit.

Can you capture wash water?

Yes, for sites that need it. Tell us when you ask for a quote.

Is it legal to wash trucks in a yard?

On most commercial yards, yes. Some municipalities and sites have rules about wash water, so check with your property manager if you're unsure.

Do you have safety data sheets?

Yes, available on request.
