“F1” Pit Stop
The Car Wash
Now just like in motor racing, now and then we need to stop for a “splash and a dash”. The place to make your pit stop in South Shields is F1 Handwash in Mitre Place, Commercial Road, near Tyne Dock.Here there are no automated machines or mechanical brushes, your car aerial stays intact and the whole wash and polish is done by hand by Frankie and his boys, a bit more of a “personal experience” , as I found out today. Frankie has operated this venture for the past two years from this site.
This business is part of the new enterprise culture found in South Shields, you can call Frankie for further details on 07796 332977

A good picture. Evocative and atmospheric with great composition and clever colour manipulation. Very nice 🙂 Happy New Year Curly.

Will not use this car wash again. Frankie promised to pay for damage to my daughter’s car, even telling her to order new rubbers from dealer, after much to-ing and fro-ing he agreed to pay her for these by 4 weekly instalments, now he has said he won’t pay. In the hands of Consumer Services. Such a shame as I was happy with their work until this happened. So be warned, if any damage is done they don’t have insurance and Frankie says he’s got no money!!
