Mobile car wash in Notting Hill

Parking in Notting Hill is a game of musical chairs played for permits: between market days, mews cottages and the garden squares, nobody who has a space gives it up to go and find a car wash. Yikes rides to the car instead, anywhere in W11.

Book your wash

At a glance

Yikes Car Wash is a mobile car wash founded in 2023. In Notting Hill we cover the Ladbroke crescents, the streets off Westbourne Grove and Portobello, the mews, and Notting Hill Gate, plus the rest of London, Cardiff and Southampton. A rider comes by cargo e-bike, zero emissions on the journey, and washes the car right in its space using about a quarter of the water of a typical mobile wash. Prices are fixed: the Essential Inside & Out is £67, members £49. Book online at yikescarwash.co.uk/book-online or call 07932 124870.

The wash comes to the space; the space stays yours.

A neighbourhood that defeats vans

Watch a delivery van try to hold position on Elgin Crescent at half past eight and you understand why mobile valeting by van never conquered W11. The crescents curve, the mews dead-end, the market swallows whole streets on Saturdays, and every kerb inch is spoken for. A cargo e-bike is the only wash vehicle that fits the geometry: it tucks beside the car it is washing and the street never notices it was there.

The garden squares bring their own weather. Cars along the crescents park under mature canopies that gift them sap, blossom, honeydew and bird mess in rotation from April to October. None of it is a problem washed off fortnightly; all of it is a problem left until Christmas.

Valeting and detailing where the car sleeps

Every wash is by hand with fresh water and clean mitts. Above that sit the interior valets, vacuumed through with plastics dressed, the Full Interior Detail with shampoo and steam for cars that do school runs and festival runs alike, and the Exterior Detail with clay and decontamination for paint that a summer under the planes has left feeling like fine sandpaper. Mobile detailing in Notting Hill is half craft, half tree management.

Typed car wash near me from W11?

What that search finds is a trek: there is no proper car wash inside Notting Hill, and the surrounding options mean driving, queueing and surrendering your parking space for the privilege. What the search should find is a rider who comes to you, which takes about a minute to book and often runs same-day.

Good to know

Good to know

Can you wash my car on a Portobello market day?
Yes, though if you park on or near the market route itself we may suggest a slot on a quieter day or a street over: Saturdays around Portobello Road are wonderful for antiques and terrible for access. Everywhere else in W11 runs as normal.
Do you cover the crescents around the communal gardens?
All of them: the Ladbroke crescents, Stanley and Lansdowne, Elgin Crescent and the streets between. Garden-square living means kerbside parking under big trees, which is exactly the paint we spend our days rescuing.
How much is a mobile car wash in Notting Hill?
£67 for the Essential Inside and Out, or £49 for members; the Deluxe is £71, members £59. Every price is the fixed final total shown before you pay, and membership is £18 a year.
Can you get to a car parked in a mews?
Easily; the bike was practically designed for it. St Luke's Mews and its cousins are exactly the kind of spaces a van cannot enter without becoming the news of the day, and the e-bike just rolls in.
What happens around Carnival?
The August bank holiday weekend suspends normal life, and parking, across Notting Hill, so we do not book washes inside the closure zone that weekend. The week after is one of our busiest of the year; book early if your car sat through the party.
