When our friend Joe chided me for not taking my three week old car to a car wash a few years ago, that's when I discovered the Bridgewater Car Wash on Route 28. Owned and operated by the McFarland Brothers since 1976 (a good year for car washes: one of disco's trademark hits of that time bore the very same name), it is a multipurpose 7 day a week spot where you can clean-up and gas-up your car and eat-up too(a few years ago the brothers opened the adjacent Patriots Mini Mart deli and coffee shop).
There is a laundry list of a la carte services from which to choose as well as packages that range from the Full Service Deluxe to the Classic to The Works. Newest options include VIP washes. Now I am a Classic girl--hot wax, sealer wax, undercarriage, Armorall tire power-wash, $15.45--but decided to splurge for ten dollars more on a VIP treatment (the one that encompasses a mini interior detail) that left my car interior genuinely looking and smelling (no artificial "new car scent" here!) like an out of the showroom vehicle--I fell in love with my jalopy all over again. Well worth the extra shekels and I was assured the finish would last for a good two months or so (had it done a month ago and still lookin' good). By the way, the guys are staunch Giants fans (even the tips container is shaped like a mutant football!)
About Me

- Laurie Squire is happy that she lives in the part of the state where stores are open on Sundays. When she's not shopping she's writing about shopping and when she's not doing either she works in broadcasting as does her pun-happy husband, Herb. Terrific twin daughters, a super son-in-law and cute pets round out the picture. She is a graduate of Finch College and NYU, and is one of those people who didn't-finish-doctoral-work -but-swears-she-will-one-day (Columbia University's Teachers College).
