Ethical car wash recommendations


Recommended Posts

The car wash at Sainsbury's / Champion Hill has always been great for me - friendly, helpful staff and a good job, but I've just seen this thread: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?30,1918531


Worth keeping an eye out for schools / charities / local sports groups doing fundraising car washes.


Or get a mobile valet company out and support a local business.

Are you in Mauritania? The labour's cheaper than the mineral water.

People who are rudely saying "do it yourself"....get a grip.


We all pay for other people to do services for us and also do jobs that provide services for other people. That's what makes the world go round.


Ever bought a sandwich rather than make one yourself?


Besides, some people may have physical reasons why washing their car could be difficult or impossible.


And even if they don't, they want someone to do a perfectly normal job for them.


Are you seriously having a go?!

Probably the same reason you are - it's ridiculous. simple

I agree with you. It would similar as trying to find a place for a manicure that didn?t have people trafficked into this country. There were recent raids done in Peckham after reports of women being trafficked..

    • Hello! We need a few product shots for our new personalised baby bear hooded jumpsuit (pictured).  We'd just need around an hour or so of your (and your baby's!) time.  In return, we'll hand-felt your little one's name onto a jumpsuit to gift you at the end of the shoot as well as provide a £30 thank you payment. If you're interested please either reply to this thread or drop me a text on 07877 734099 to arrange a mutually convenient time. Photo shoot to take place in East Dulwich at our residential address. Thanks, Sam    
    • Many thanks for your detailed reply. Our floor was originally concrete too - had the floorboards down for years now and need a change. thanks again
    • Although I think you're right to address your concerns about what you perceive as an attack on your business.  I do feel I need to respond to some of your comments;  I haven’t noticed any criticism in the posts of the clinical care delivered,  all the criticism has been in relation to your charges and billing,  which when compared to other practices does seem high. We know vets are business and don't expect treatment for free! But when prices are significantly higher people are going to question it.  This occurs not only on social media,  but in parks up and down the country as dog owners do discuss this.    I agree your analogy that people can choose where to purchase their veterinary care, a bit like where they choose to purchase their groceries ( convenience store versus sainsburys versus Aldi etc). The big difference is with the supermarket chains there is choice.  Sadly what is happening with veterinary practices is a few massive chains have brought up all the previously independent practices,  therefore there isn't any real choice and these chains are monopolising the industry and forcing up prices to shocking levels ( veterinary prices have risen more than any other industry). I welcome the formal investigation of the CMA into veterinary costs. 
    • Neither of which are Dulwich private schools though. I also wasn't being entirely serious.
