Buddy Bear Car Wash celebrating 50 years of giving back to community
Fifty years in business is a long time. Buddy Bear Car Wash is celebrating its golden anniversary and it’s now open for business in the Chatham neighborhood. The business started on the West Side in 1972 and spread to the South Side and some suburbs with its other locations.
Get ready to celebrate! Buddy Bear Car Wash is marking its golden anniversary, and the excitement is buzzing in the Chatham neighborhood. Since opening its doors on the West Side in 1972, Buddy Bear has expanded its reach to the South Side and beyond, becoming a beloved community staple.
The grand opening of our 15th location in Chatham on September 26, 2024, was nothing short of spectacular! The ribbon-cutting ceremony kicked off at 11 AM, and to spread the joy, the first 10,000 cars rolled in for a FREE wash!
Phil Degeratto, the passionate owner, carries forward a rich family legacy of entrepreneurship. His grandfather, affectionately known as “Papa Bear” among locals and friends, owned the popular Big Bear Foods Supermarket during the 1960s.
For countless residents, Buddy Bear Car Wash is more than just a place to clean their cars; it’s a trusted friend, a source of hope, and a true champion of the community. Visit us at 243 W. 83rd St. in Chatham Market and experience the difference for yourself—here’s to many more years of serving our amazing community!

Our c
Pretty good car wash for decent price, as cheap as $3. I paid the Buddy bear special which is $14.99, which is pretty decent for a good wash, wax coat and tire shine applied. Vacuums are strong enough for self cleaning and friendly staff.
My favorite place great car wash reasonable prices they also have the monthly wash where you can go as many times you want in that month may sure you ask for 1 month or else they will auto pay your card monthly ?
Gas and Car Wash
Forgot to get gas. Cashier(can’t remember her name it started with a M) was great. She even had me interested in a monthly Car Wash package. Friendly and Professional and one of the cleanest and well stocked Gas Stations I’ve ever seen.
Absolutely loved this place. The fast pass is a great investment, already took my car a few times in the past few days. Very clean, fast, and professional, highly recommend.
Juan was super helpful. Lost my plate in the car wash and he found it for me. He also helped make sure it wouldn’t come off again
