Do Matchbox & Hot Wheels cars fit through the carwash? Is the Gear on the car wash made of wood?

The car wash is mostly made of wood but the gears/brushes are made of rubber so they are flexible. Most of my son's Hot Wheels fit through but some of them are harder to squeeze through if they are wider or odd-shaped.

Yes they do!! The knobs are wood, the gears that "clean" the car are silicone on wood. My kids (8yr 3yr &1yr) have had this for a year and it is still perfectly intact! They still play with it everyday, and we've had no problems!

Yes, it fits take alongs as well as wooden and regular cars. I wish Mattel made an inexpensive carrying case for the cars.

My son uses his Hot Wheels cars on it without a problem. If you are talking about the Lightening McQueen sets from Disney, they are too wide.

Yes, it comes with wonderful solid wood Melissa & Doug cars(great quality), a little manual car wash (not big in size) that the kids can push the cars through. It has a little garage attendant booth, & a little gas pump with a gas hose. The parking garage was easy to put together only requiring a screwdriver. We even bought our Grandson a few Hot Wheels cars, since they really "fly" down the ramps. My husband had so much fun playing with our 2 yr. Grandson, that I laughed teasing him that I should have bought him one too. Great gift, would give it 5 stars!!!!!! Good Luck on your purchase. :0)

Yes to both questions! It's a bit of work to assemble and disassemble, but it is durable enough to do both as needed. Two (Matchbox-type) cars released at the same time from the top level will race to the very bottom rather reliably. The only hesitation in recommending the item is all the stickers...there are LOTS of stickers that need to be applied to the plastic surfaces...though, I suppose you could simply omit all or most of them if you wished.

Yes it is. Bought as a gift, it is played with all the time. The cars vary so don't count on gettng what you see, but all are great!

My car is a convertible, so no car washes. But it's pretty beefy, and I think it would hold up well.

Yes Hot Wheels will fit in this case. I bought two of them at Christmas time ad my grandsons really like them.

I tried many types of cars last week and the matchbox cars DO NOT work with the elevator lift--they just roll right out and fall. They only cars that seemed to work for us were the originals. Sorry my answer doesn't seem to match what others are saying...We tried it for hours!

The cars on the carrier are actually a little skinnier than matchbox cars. The tracks on the truck carrier also has grooves to keep the cars in place. I don't think a matchbox car would fit very well but I don't actually have any in my classroom to test them.

yes if they are similiar in size to matchbox cars. it holds alot. my grandson is two and he loves the carring case.

Yes. I bought my grandson a collection of Matchbox cars to go with it and they fit great.

I am not sure what the measurements are for the shelves but full-size model cars and trucks will not fit. Now if you are talking about something that is a Matchbox or Hot Wheels size-car then they should fit. You might want to contact the seller to get the excat measurements for the shelves.

My son is 2 yrs old and plays with matchbox cars, target $1 plastic cars, various sized boats, and all kinds of other cars in the sandbox. We've used a construction dinosaur, a large Tonka truck in it-both with sand and water, just water, and just sand. The sand and water box will accommodate various sized cars on the tracks. The tracks are about 3 inches in width.

It does on the smaller cars and trucks. The wider or taller cars and trucks get stuck in the chute. The majority of the Matchbox cars fit but if they have big spoilers, exhaust pipes etc, those get stuck. Our grandson liked the Blastin Rig just to haul his cars around and didn't use the Blastin action much. I would buy it again as it's held up really well for a rough and tumble three year old boy.

I never went through a car wash with it, and there is not a chance I would have even tried. I'm 100% positive this vinyl would hold up just fine, as it is pretty tough stuff...I just wouldn't want to risk tearing it up after all the time and effort it took to get it perfect.

Yes, I think it is. My granddaughter loves this toy. We added soap bubbles and she created a "car wash" with her plastic cars. We put it in the shower and she was able to pour and splash water without creating a huge mess. Would be great in a sandbox, too. For the money - and the attention span of a toddler - it's a bargain.
