If you drive, have a car and are ever in the vicinity of Telok Blangah Road, there's a petrol kiosk with a manual car wash staffed by some pretty special folks.

Here's the price list:

You'll notice that this car wash isn't open round the clock — it's also closed on public holidays. That's partly because the car washers are from the Movement for the Intellectually Disabled in Singapore (MINDS), and are there on a long-term social enterprise collaboration with SPC.

Called MINDS Wash, the initiative started as far back as in 2001, at a BP station in Pasir Panjang, funded by American bank Merrill Lynch. It was later moved to its current location at 616 Telok Blangah Road in 2007 by SPC, after it acquired BP's network of petrol kiosks, so that it would receive more visibility.

The drill: every dollar earned from the car washes goes directly and fully to the staff in monthly allowances of between $250 and $350 per month, the remainder of which goes toward supporting more than a thousand trainees at their three vocational training centres.

That being said, MINDS has told us that staff salaries will increase with more revenue earned from washing more cars.

Also, SPC doesn't collect any of it, and also leases the space and equipment for them to wash cars for free.

Nice, right?

There's a Facebook page with reviews of their service too. Here's a selection:

Some also befriended the friendly folks working there:
