Shoreditch parking is a dark art: metered bays, tiny mews, yards behind studios, and a resident population of cars that move as rarely as possible. Yikes suits the terrain perfectly, arriving by cargo e-bike and washing your car in whatever slot of the neighbourhood it occupies.

Yikes Car Wash is a mobile car wash founded in 2023. We cover Shoreditch, Hoxton borders and Columbia Road, E1 and E2, plus the rest of London, Cardiff and Southampton. A rider comes to your car by cargo e-bike, zero emissions on the journey, and washes it right where it is parked using about a quarter of the water of a typical mobile wash. Prices are fixed: the Essential Inside and Out is £61, or £49 for members. Book online at yikescarwash.co.uk/book-online or call 07932 124870.
Areas we cover
A valeting van has nowhere to stand in Shoreditch; a cargo e-bike stands anywhere a bicycle does. That is the practical difference that lets us wash cars in Boundary Estate courtyards, the mews off Redchurch Street and the yards behind studios, with zero emissions spent getting there.
The method suits the density too: water carried on board at about a quarter of the typical volume, no hose across a pavement full of people, careful hand washing that respects paint, and a message when the car is ready. Interiors, detailing and ceramic protection all arrive the same way if you want more than a wash.
Shoreditch paintwork wears inner-city grime faster than anywhere leafier: brake dust from the Old Street corridor, general traffic film, and the concentrated attention of the area's pigeon population. Columbia Road adds pollen and petal mush in season. A regular gentle hand wash keeps the lot from bonding to the lacquer.
Services and prices
Every price is a fixed final total, shown before you pay. The Members Club is £18 a year and takes 20 percent off every wash. Full list on the services and prices page.
