Modem

Modem at 75/8 Alba Iulia Street in the Buiucani district is one of the three washes of the Modem chain in Chișinău and operates around the clock. The site combines an automatic tunnel line — manual pre-rinse under pressure, active foam, shampoo brushes, protective wax, drying and hand wipe-down — with self-service bays and vacuums. The chain offers a night tariff and corporate cards for companies and accepts card payment, including via payment apps. Website: spalatorie.modem.md, plus Facebook and Instagram pages.

Customers rate the service positively: the tunnel is praised for speed and result, and prices are described as lower than expected. Criticism mostly concerns the self-service bays — worn brushes in some bays, low water pressure and foam weaker than at competitors — and the cleanliness of the site. For a quick wash the tunnel remains the safe choice; for self-service it is worth checking the bay before paying.
