Fortnite Car Wash Locations (Chapter 7 Season 3)

The two minor Landmark car washes, where to find them, and how to trigger the quest.

The two minor Landmark car washes, where to find them, and how to trigger the quest.

The car wash quest in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3 asks you to drive a vehicle through an automated washing tunnel to impress The Seven. The tricky part is that the car wash buildings are minor Landmarks, so they do not show a clear name on the map. There are two spots on the island where this works, one on the east side and one on the west.

Quick answer: Bring a drivable vehicle to the colorful car wash between Golden Grove and Shaken Sanctuary, then drive all the way through the washing tunnel. The quest completes the moment you exit the other side.


Both car wash locations in Chapter 7 Season 3

Two car washes exist on the current map. The eastern one is the faster choice because it has its own parking lot where a usable car can spawn. The western one is a backup if the storm circle forces you to that side, but you must bring your own vehicle.

East car wash route (fastest)

Land on the eastern side of the island and head for the brightly colored building sitting just off the main road between Golden Grove and Shaken Sanctuary. This is the priority spot because of its dedicated parking lot.
Check the lot for a drivable car. With good luck, one spawns right in front of the building. If the lot is empty, run north into Golden Grove and take a vehicle from the main streets.
Line the car up with the washing tunnel and drive straight through it. The quest registers as soon as you come out the far side.

West car wash route (backup)

Head to the northwest edge of the map and look along the rocky coastline between Calamari Canyon and Chopped Shop. The car wash sits near a small cliff and stands out by its bright color.
Grab a vehicle first. This spot has no parking lot, so source a ride from either Calamari Canyon or Chopped Shop and drive it over yourself.
Drive the vehicle fully through the washing tunnel to finish the objective.

How to trigger and confirm completion

Parking next to the building does nothing. The quest only counts when your vehicle passes completely through the washing tunnel and out the other side. When that happens, the on-screen quest notification pops to confirm the objective is done.

The wash also gives a practical bonus. Driving through fully repairs any structural damage to your vehicle and refills the gas tank to maximum. That makes it a useful pit stop right before you rotate into the final storm circles.

If the quest does not complete, the usual reason is that the car stopped short of the tunnel or you walked through on foot. Keep the vehicle moving from one end to the other and let the full cycle play out.
