About us

MORE THAN A CAR WASH…

We are a veteran, family-owned company established in 2004, proudly serving Western Washington since opening our first location in Lacey in 2005.

Since then, we’ve grown to multiple express exterior car wash locations across the South Sound, spanning from Lewis to Pierce Counties.

Using advanced equipment and premium products, we deliver a safe, effective clean that protects and shines your vehicle. With wash packages to fit your needs and budget, keeping your car looking its best is easy—plus, a commitment to water conservation and eco-friendly practices that you can feel good about.

While washing cars is what we do, it’s not what drives us. We’re committed to building a culture of kindness and leadership, where our team can grow, lead, and be their best. Our vision is to create a “wave” of hardworking individuals who make a positive impact in their communities.

We believe these values will continue to fuel the growth of our company, our team, and the communities we serve.
