24 Hour Touchless Car Wash in College Station, TX
- Open 24 hours, every day
- 720 Earl Rudder Fwy
- No brushes, nothing touching your paint
Drew's Car Wash - University - IBA Touchless at 720 Earl Rudder Fwy in College Station is a touchless car wash open 24 hours a day, every day, with a daily equipment reset between 3:30 and 5:00 a.m. It washes your vehicle using high pressure water and cleaning solution, with no brushes and nothing touching your paint. Clearance is 90 inches, so it handles lifted trucks, roof racks, and dually trucks that do not fit a conveyor tunnel. Unlimited car wash memberships from $24 a month are valid here and at all seven Drew's express tunnel locations. Free vacuums, microfiber towels, all-purpose cleaner, mat beaters, compressed air, and air freshener are available at the adjacent Drew's University Drive site until 7:30 p.m. daily.
Open 24 hours, because a college town does not run on business hours.
Class schedules, hospital shifts, restaurant closes, game day traffic, and the drive back from Houston at midnight do not line up with 7:30 to 7:30. These bays are open 24 hours a day, every day, with a daily equipment reset between 3:30 and 5:00 a.m.
The site sits on the Earl Rudder Freeway frontage, directly beside our University Drive express tunnel. Same corner, separate address, separate sign, separate entrance. You choose the wash that suits your vehicle, your finish, and the hour you pull in.
How Touch-Free Cleaning Works
What a Touchless Car Wash Actually Is
A touchless car wash cleans your vehicle with high pressure water and cleaning solution. No brushes, no cloth strips, nothing making contact with the paint. The chemistry loosens road film and dirt, then pressurized water carries it off.
Drivers pick touch-free washing for three reasons
It suits protected finishes
Vinyl wraps, ceramic coatings, matte paint, custom work, and delicate trim all do better without contact.
It fits vehicles a tunnel will not take
Lifted trucks, roof racks, dually trucks, and tall profiles clear 90 inches here, against 84 inches in the tunnel next door.

Questions About This Location
Is the touchless car wash on University Drive open 24 hours?
Yes. The bays are open 24 hours a day, every day, apart from a daily equipment reset between 3:30 and 5:00 a.m. The express tunnel next door runs 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 9:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Sunday.
Does a touchless car wash actually get a car clean?
Yes. Touch-free washing uses cleaning chemistry and high pressure water instead of friction, and it removes road film, dust, pollen, and light grime effectively. Heavy caked mud or bonded contaminants like tar and tree sap may need a second pass or a hand touch-up, which is why free towels and all-purpose cleaner are stocked at the amenity area next door.
Will a touchless car wash scratch my paint?
No. Nothing physically contacts your vehicle. There are no brushes or cloth strips, so there is no friction to cause swirl marks or fine scratches. That makes touch-free a good fit for dark paint, ceramic coatings, vinyl wraps, and new vehicles.
Do I stay in my car during a touchless wash?
Yes. Pull in, stop at the marked position, put the vehicle in park, keep your windows up, and stay inside until the cycle finishes and the exit signal clears.
Can I wash a lifted truck or a vehicle with a roof rack here?
Yes. Clearance is 90 inches, against 84 inches in the express tunnel, and there is no tire width limit. Lifted trucks, roof racks, and dually trucks that do not fit the tunnel can use these bays.
Are the vacuums free, and how late are they open?
Free with every wash, along with microfiber towels, all-purpose cleaner, mat beaters, compressed air, and air freshener. They are at the adjacent University Drive site and shut off at 7:30 p.m. with the tunnel. The touchless bays stay open 24 hours, so after 7:30 it is wash only.
Can I use my Drew's membership at the touchless bays?
Yes, at no extra cost. One unlimited car wash membership covers these bays and all seven Drew's express tunnel locations across Bryan and College Station, up to two washes a day.
Is touchless or tunnel washing better for my vehicle?
It depends on the vehicle and the dirt. Touch-free is safer for wraps, ceramic coatings, matte and custom paint, and oversized or accessorized vehicles. The express tunnel next door applies soft-touch agitation, which handles heavier buildup faster. Both are on this corner and your membership covers both.
