Tips & Gratuities
Tipping is very much appreciated, but not required! Any tips provided by our customers are pooled and split between all team members, based on the number of hours they work. For example, someone working 8 hours will receive twice the about of tips of someone working 4 hours. 100% of the tips go to the production line team members, less taxes.
Tips can be given by cash or by touchless payment on our website or at our auto-attendant via credit card.
What is the difference between an ‘Express Wash’ and ‘Detail wash’?
An Express Wash is our Exterior-Only car wash. Detail Express is an “after the wash” service such as the Express Wax (applied by hand), Carpet Shampoo or SuperClean service.
Do I need an appointment for Detail Express?
All of our Express Detailing Services are by appointment. Usually, a next-day appointment is available when you call to book. Find locations where detailing is available here, and call the location of your choice to schedule your appointment. Pre-payment for your Auto Detailing service will secure an appointment at any available location.
Is washing my car damaging to my paint? Is conveyor washing safe? Do you use brushes?
We do not use brushes on the paint—just soft cloth which is heavily lubricated. We have Unlimited Club customers with black cars who have washed up to 6 days per week for years and they are very happy with the safety. Touchless washing is a popular service we offer, but soft cloth washing provides a more consistent clean and is safe for all vehicles.

Windows & Glass
Can you remove that hazy film on my windows?
Sure! Just let us know after the wash, and we’ll use a special degreaser to cut through that stubborn film. Then, regular window cleaner applied periodically should keep it clean going forward. Free with a Full-Service Wash. See a manager.
Do you offer a product that makes my windshield easier to clean and to see through?
Yes! We offer Rain-X on several Express Exterior and Full-Service packages. Rain-X helps water bead up and fly off your windshield as you drive, and makes it easier to clean off bugs and ice from the glass.
Promotions
Do you offer a free wash on my birthday?
We sure do! We offer a free Exterior Car Wash for Registered Rewards Members within 2 weeks of your birthday! This entitles you to one wash only, chain-wide. You must be registered as a Rewards Customer to get a free Birthday Wash (Exterior-only wash). Be sure to register at least 1 day prior to your visit!
What do I get by joining the email list, and will my email info be shared?
We will send you a link to a coupon every month, on the first day of the month. Offers range from discounts off Detail Express, service packages, and occasionally washes.
We will never give your email to any other organization. If you follow the “Remove” link at the bottom of our email, you will truly be removed from our list.
How can I change my email address in the system?
Just follow the “Update Profile/Email Address” link at the bottom of any email we send you, and you will have the option of changing your email address. If you don’t have an email from us, go click here and put in your registered email address; you will then have the option to change it.
Do you offer AAA discounts?
Yes! Show your card and save 10% off car washes, special services, or detailing.

What is cross-grading?
Cross-Grading allows you to upgrade your car washing service on a visit, with no additional charge by exchanging interior service for the next highest tier of exterior service. Learn more about Cross-Grading here.
- If you have a 39.99 plan (Basic Plus with Interior Add-On):
Choose either the “Basic Plus with Interior” or “Exterior-only Almost Everything” on any visit. - If you have a 47.99 plan (Almost Everything with Interior Add-On):
Choose either the “Almost Everything with Interior” or “Exterior-only EVERYTHING” on any visit. - If you have the 54.99 plan (Everything with Interior Add-On):
Choose either the “Everything with Interior” or “Exterior-only EVERYTHING” on any visit. (if you don’t have time or just don’t need the interior cleaning)
Additional Information:
The Exterior Basic Plus (22.99) Plan does not have a cross-grade option, but if you’d like the Interior Clean, it would be an additional $16 on that visit.
Birthday washes for Unlimited Club members
As you may know, we offer a free wash on someone’s birthday. If you are an Unlimited Member, there is no charge for your wash anyway, so if you would like a free upgrade on your birthday, just ask for a manager and he will approve an upgrade to the next higher package on that visit. Thank you for being a loyal Unlimited Member!

We offer 3 Unlimited Plan types, and you can add-on the Interior Cleaning option to any of them. To see the plan types, click here.

UPGRADES:
If you choose a higher-priced package, the system will charge you the pro-rated amount, and apply the upgrade immediately.

Washing a loaner vehicle while the club vehicle is in the shop?
We realize that sometimes your car has to go into the shop, but you want to continue driving around in the clean car to which you’ve been accustomed! Here’s how we can make that happen for you.
- Simply log in to your account
- Under the VEHICLE that is out of service, click the CHANGE button below the license plate
- Follow the on-screen instructions to change the plate to the loaner vehicle
After you get your car back, repeat steps 1-3. This can be done from the comfort of your own home or office; you won’t even need to get out of your car at our site! Please note that each change counts toward your 4 changes per year. So we suggest that you only make the change and wash the loaner if you will have it for a while.
Loaner papers are no longer needed; going into the lobby on each visit for management permission is also no longer needed! Whether the vehicle will be in service for one day or one month, the process will be the same.
This is the only way to wash a different vehicle on the plan.
