Let firefighters wash your car for charity

'Pay what you like' at 150+ fire stations in March

Expired

If your car could do with a clean, firefighters will wash it in return for a donation to The Fire Fighters Charity.

Over 150 fire stations in England, Wales and Scotland are taking part on selected dates in March, April and May – with the majority taking place on Saturdays in March.

To find your nearest, see the map of car wash locations and dates on the charity's site. Even if none are local to you right now, check back as more will be added in the coming weeks.

See what to expect in our video below:

You won't be able to book a slot – just drive up on the confirmed date, though expect to queue if it's popular, and of course remember the firefighters could be called away in an emergency. Some fire stations may recommend a minimum £5 donation, but this is only a guide and the charity says you should just give whatever you're comfortable with.

If you're a firefighter or other emergency services worker, take a look at our Emergency services & NHS deals.

Car washes will be carried out by fire and rescue service personnel, including firefighters, support and control staff. The majority of firefighters will be wearing their uniforms (we thought some of you'd be interested, so we asked), and fire engine hoses will probably be used, but do go prepared for less excitement as it could just be sponges and buckets.

Of course, not all firefighters are experts at cleaning cars (their skills are in other areas), so it'll likely be a quick shampoo and rinse – not the full works – but it's a fun way of helping charity while giving the car a cheap clean at the same time.

What is The Fire Fighters Charity?

The charity provides injured and ill UK firefighters with assistance such as psychological therapy and physio to help them recover and return to work as quickly as possible.

Use the Money Mantras

Before spending, use Martin’s Mantras. If you answer 'NO' to any, then don't buy!

Then ask:

Do I need it?
Can I afford it?
Have you checked prices elsewhere?

Then ask:

Will I use it?
Is it worth it?

Free protection for all shopping!

There's a little-known piece of legislation that turns any credit card into a financial self-defence superhero. 'Section 75' of the Consumer Credit Act means your plastic must protect anything you buy for more than £100 for free, so if there's a problem or the company goes bust, you can still get your money back.

And although Section 75 doesn't apply to debit cards, there is something else to fall back on if you've paid using a debit card, or used a credit card for a purchase under £100. Known as Chargeback, this is part of banks' and card companies' internal rules and not a legal requirement. Read full details of Section 75 or Chargeback, plus how to claim, in our guides.

What the * means above
If a link has an * by it, that means it is an affiliated link and therefore it helps MoneySavingExpert stay free to use, as it is tracked to us. If you go through it, it can sometimes result in a payment or benefit to the site. It's worth noting this means the third party used may be named on any credit agreements.

You shouldn’t notice any difference and the link will never negatively impact the product. Plus the editorial line (the things we write) is NEVER impacted by these links. We aim to look at all available products. If it isn't possible to get an affiliate link for the top deal, it is still included in exactly the same way, just with a non-paying link.
