The invention concerns a car wash facility (1) including a washing machine in the form of a movable portal (3) constituted by a first and a second leg (5) and a bearer, where along each of the legs there is arranged at least one side brush (2), and where along the bearer is arranged at least one top brush (4). The portal is arranged to move in longitudinal direction of the positioned vehicle (8), and the side brushes (2) are adapted with means for transverse movement on a crossbar relative to the direction of movement of the portal. The new feature of a washing machine according to the invention is that the portal is adapted with a crossbar module (9) including a crossbar extending from an area at a first leg (5) and to an area at a second leg (5), where the crossbar module (9) includes one or more additional side brushes (2). By mounting an additional crossbar module it is possible to provide two side brushes (2) at each side of the portal without the latter become appreciably longer, thereby taking up more of the available space.
