Of course my opinion.
Ranking Kelvins, Corona, Gomez Diaz
Car Wash Skills:
1. Corona
2. GD
3. I would be worried about getting scratched at Kelvins, to small, too many cars.
Chicas Quanity:
1. GD
2. Kelvins
3. Corona
Chicas Quality:
1. Kelvins
2. Corona
3. GD
Seating, ambiance, etc.
1. Corona (class act, very nice place)
2. GD
3. Kelvins (sorry that walmart plastic patio furniture gets to me)
I completely agree with your ranking Thomas, especially the ambiance at Kelvins. The plastic chairs and tables have to go.
Does anyone have an updated ranking of Santiago car washes???
I was at Gomez Diaz car wash last Saturday (July 16) with two of my brother in-laws. There were plenty of girls to choose from. I had an offer to take a girl back to her home in San Jose de la Matás. I passed. I called up a "friend" from last trip who came by to meet me at GD. I ended up taking her to Ethics after we had a bite to eat. Overall I liked GD.

Kelvins is on 27 de Febrero near the the turn about where the Puerto Plata highway, Estrella S., 27th Feb, and another road intersect. The turn about you hit coming from PP on the highway. It is about 2 blocks down on the right from the turn about. The turn about isn't on the map but you can see Estrella & 27th about to merge at the top of the map on the left side.
Corona is also on 27th Feb but after it changes into Carretera A Tamborl it will be on your left but it's at least 3-4 miles past Estrella S. (Note: Estrella & 27th Feb intersect TWICE)
Gomez Diaz is accessible two ways, if you rented a CAR, go the second way. Take Estrella south to the turn about with A. Circummlation aka A. Hispanicamericana. (located at the bottom of the map) Follow the road past where is looks like shit! I mean it's REALLY BAD. All there are is curbs the road in dirt ruts! About a mile after the road is paved again GD will be on your right. Second way: Take the highway to Santo Domingo, after passing the cabanas there will be an overpass and exit, get on that road and head back to the city, that is A. Hispanicamericana. Follow it for 2-3 miles, GD will be on your left this time.
There are many other carwashes in Santiago but these are the main three.
hey DT, why didn't you take us to the other car washes?
I stayed at Ethics and it was pretty good... 400 pesos for 4 hour stay... I picked up a whore... pro whore that is a stripper at a local spot in Santiago... Picked her up from Patron Burger... 1000 pesos for the chica and 400 for the room... Walk in the room from the garage... table and chairs (small dining area when i walked in) to the right was a kitchen area... down a few steps and the queen sized bed with two night stands and 2 condoms waiting on the nightstand which i didnt use (i dont fuck with the dominican condoms)... Bathroom on the left with soap towels and all that shit we wonder if we are gonna get while stayin in the DR...Quote:

By the time you clear cust/immigr, get your bags, pick up car rental, hit the ATM and drive into town, Kelvins car wash will be closed or about to close. Are there any car washes open past midnight? I don't want to do pasions or illusions. Looking for decent quality for under 2000rd.
Go to that Tipico club, or any local spot. I think Kelvin's will be closed. How 'bout that? Me answering a question about Santiago!!

Well almost!! What Tipico club?? ;)Quote:

Rancho Tipico. Full of local chicas. On Saturday night, it's better than Classico and Club X COMBINED!!Quote:

Does anyone have any info about this place? I won't have time to do any work. I need a place where i can grab a chica and bounce back to the room. Don't want to be seen in Santiago that night! ;)Quote:

There are very few gringos there (the only one we saw was a lady...with her sankie!). The chicas will be eyeing you quick the moment you walk in. You can be in and out (with a chica) in five minutes, if you wanted.
Then that's the place for me! Is it on the same street?(27 de febrero)Quote:

I need more info guys...
What time do they open and what time is there a decent # of girls there. Is the afternoon any good?
Also, how long of a drive is it from Sosua and how much does it usually cost. Is there a good one in Puerto Plata as I know Santiago is a bit of a drive.... And are these places widely know to the cab guys?
To be safe, its two hours from Sosua because you will get lost finding them the first time. There are some in Puerto Plata, hit or miss.Quote:

Funny thing about DR is you do not even need a car to go to the car wash. The concept of a Car Wash is different then in the US. Car Washes in DR are also hang out places where you can pick up waitresses. You need to be able to speak Spanish with the chicas at the car washes. They aren't as easy as Sosua putas where you can just point and show them pesos.
Don Tomas is the expert on Santiago and car washes. Help me out DT!
Speaking spanish helps anywhere in the DR but not absolutely necessary. The car washes are usually open between 2pm and 11pm. They don't offer take out though. You have to arrange a meeting either after or before work. Just have a seat and order a beer. See what you like, make eye contact and motion her over. Use basic gringo spanish or body language to let her know you're interested. For monger newbi's, have a friend or someone here write a short note in spanish with your intentions. Be creative but keep it short. She's pretty, your interested, my name is, what's your's, let's fuck, what's your cell number, when is best for you, what is the gift, etc.......... I've done it and it works!!
I think you summed it up well, psriches.
I need to get back,
