- RRRyanDec 2, 20241.0Signed up for the $20/month unlimited wash. When I went to confirm my email and make an account my car's plate, make, and model were wrong and a different name was displayed on my card details. Very suspicious. Canceled immediately. I'll be putting a stop payment on this place. Update 3-3-2025 I had canceled my subscription 2 months ago and just noticed a sudden charge for $40. Tried to log into my account and it's saying my account doesn't exist. So they've canceled my account but have started chatting me again? No thanks! This is what I get for forgetting to put the stop payment on these scammers.
Frequently Asked Questions About Clean Express Auto Wash
What can I expect?
We strive to provide the industry’s best, high-quality, and eco-friendly express wash experience available! After selecting your wash at our convenient payment kiosk, one of our experienced Crew Members will help guide you into our wash tunnel. We’ll ask you to put your car in neutral, and then simply sit back and enjoy your wash. At the end of the wash tunnel, during the drying cycle, an electronic sign will notify you when it is safe to put your car into Drive to exit the wash.
Are you a touchless car wash?
Our washes use the most state-of-the-art gentle wash material called EnviroSoft. It is a brushless (but not touchless) cleaning technology that cannot scratch or damage your car. Please feel free to ask our onsite staff any questions before you wash— we are happy to further explain our wash process!
What types of vehicles do you wash?
Our vehicle clearance is 7’2”. Our conveyor tracks support a tire width of up to 13.5 inches, and we cannot accept trucks with dual wheels or vehicles over 85 inches wide. For the safety of our customers, team members, and wash equipment, we cannot wash vehicles with bike/scooter/wheelchair/utility racks. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.
Do you recycle water?
We are proud to offer an environmentally friendly wash that saves 100+ gallons of water per wash vs. driveway washing. As a participating member of the WaterSavers® program, our wash process uses an on-demand timing system that profiles and measures your vehicle delivering water precisely to your vehicle's surface. Our wash water is then captured and routed into our extensive reclamation system. This system treats the water removing all solids and contaminates and redelivers to the vehicle. This system allows us to safely and effectively wash your vehicle with less than 20 gallons of fresh water.
Do you take credit cards?
Yes, for our single washes we accept cash, Clean gift cards, and all major credit and debit cards as forms of payment for our single washes. For our Unlimited Wash Club, we require a major credit or debit card.

What if I am not satisfied with my wash?
We want you to be completely satisfied with your wash experience and offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Please see a staff member following your wash if you are unsatisfied and we will offer a rewash immediately. If you are still unsatisfied with your rewash, we will offer a refund.
