Services Offered
Automatic Car Wash Unit
Big Dave's is proud to offer Kaiapoi the services of a touch free PDQ LaserWash unit.
This world leading automatic car wash unit from USA cleans your vehicle with the use of smart chemical application and high pressure water.
All water used in the wash cycle has been through our water-softener, and the final rinse is done with water purified using Reverse Osmosis to ensure a spot-free finish!
To purchase washes for the automatic carwash, please use your PayWave enabled credit or debit card, corporate fob or Big Dave's token at the wash unit activation stand to the right of the entrance.
Self Serve Bays
At Big Dave's, we offer you the best value for money for self-serve washing in the greater Canterbury region.
The site provides you the latest services offerings from the iWash self-serve equipment from Australia with an all active chemical application (no coloured water here), state-of-the-art equipment, and the best value of time for your money.
Big Dave's provides you with real bang for you buck.
The water used to wash your vehicle has been through a water softener, to improve the wash quality.
We also have the option of Spot Free Rinse. At Big Dave's there is a Reverse Osmosis water filtration unit, that is used to remove the majority of the dissolved solids out of the water. These dissolved solids are what leave the white spots on your car if you leave water to dry on your vehicle surfaces.
The use of the Spot Free Rinse will greatly reduce the chances of white spots appearing on your freshly cleaned vehicle.
