The RipTide Car Wash is one of the car washes listed in Durham, North Carolina. The business is registered at 5275 N Roxboro St, Durham, NC 27712; use this page to check its hours, phone number and Google rating before you make the trip.

In Durham, washes are busiest on sunny weekends and the first dry day after rain or a snowstorm, when lines back onto the street; weekday mornings are the quietest. Across North Carolina, expect a basic exterior wash to cost about what a fast-food meal does, with wax, tire shine and undercarriage rinse sold as tiers above it. Self-service bays are the cheapest way to clean a truck bed, a muddy off-roader or a vehicle that will not fit a tunnel, and many run around the clock. Check the listing for the wash type, hours, free vacuums, unlimited plans and whether the site accepts cards or app payments, then call ahead in freezing weather, when tunnels close.

Hours are published for 7 days a week. The most common schedule is 8 am–8 pm. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. The listed phone number is (252) 540-7931. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. Its website is riptidecw.com, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.

On Google it holds a rating of 4.4 out of 5 from 112 reviews, which is a strong result for a car wash in Durham and suggests consistent service.

Durham is in North Carolina, in the Southeast, where summers are long, hot and humid, winters are mild, and afternoon thunderstorms and the hurricane season from June to November can change plans at short notice. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Durham follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.
