Car Wash Multi-Pack Attached to Rego

Bought a 5-pack of hand car washes that expire in 1 year for $500 (came with some other bonuses)

Is it worth me switching plates with others in my family or is that:

    Genius except they'd probably record make/model/year and the cars would have to be identical to work

    Too much of a tight arse move

    You’re not going to wash your car 5 times this year?

    • That actually never crossed my mind, I'm ashamed to say 😂. I've always driven a shitbox 03 corolla since my Ls - which never felt like was worth the full cleaning treatment, and only recently upgraded.

    Why are you buying it at the first place?

    Risking to get caught to save a few hundred.

    Driving to the car wash with false/wrong plates is going to cost a lot more than a hundred dollaroos, if the police see you.

      This, extremely illegal.

      • Yeah. It's called fraud among other things.

        “fined for wrong plates, should I pay the fine or take it to court?”

        • Evidence = dash-cam footage + MS Paint diagram

    I see you're in Sydney - did you recently wash your car? Is that why it's now raining cats and dogs?

    At least OP has rego and can drive the car after sunset.

    Bought a 5-pack of hand car washes

    What are the T&Cs so the community can critique it :)

    • Original offer was for $500, you get 5 X interior wipe down/vacuum and a exterior wash/polish (regular price 130 a pop)

      I went on a particularly quiet day wanting a focused interior detail + upholstery shampoo/sanitise ($199) so they offered me the 5 wash package instead and they'll do the 199 option instead of the 130 for the first of the 5-pack

        For an old corolla? You add fries at maccas every time too don’t you?

    Not sure what’s more insane here, $100 a car wash or the suggestion to swap plates illegally to avail of them. Do people not think anymore?

        Wow. Bet they couldn't believe their luck. Particularly on a quiet day.

      • Could be appropriate for those with a Mustang wanting a lambo treatment.

    Have a chat to the car wash place - I think they don't actually care which car they are washing.

    $500 for 5 car washes
    Asking if they should drive with wrong plates

    Let me guess you even financed your car?

    Didn’t occur to you that false plates on a vehicle is illegal and would be VERY expensive if caught.

  • This has to be a joke
    Why don't you go past and ask the owner?
    With all this rain the guy is losing money runing his business.

    Just do it and report back.

    Haha - yeah - with false plates, crashes into recent guy with no rego after sunset.
    The paperwork.
    Wasn’t he at a car wash too?

  • Option 4 - use them really quickly before the place goes out of business.
    Surely even Sydney doesn't have enough idiots to keep a place going by regularly buying $100/$130/$199 washes.
