History
The first Carwash in Harrisonburg. Formally Quick Car Wash was built on Hwy 33 where now sits the Burger King in Harrisonburg. Burger King bought the land from the Shank family. The family moved the car wash to the location at 48 Kenmore St. in Harrisonburg in 1972. They specialized in hand washing cars. The Burns family bought the car wash in 2005. It was torn down in 2006 and a new state of the art car wash was built. A new touch free automatic was installed along with 5 self serve bays. The name was changed to Car Wash Express. In 2008 a new Laundromat was built next to the car wash along with a new self serve dog wash.
Specialties
The best car wash in town. We use a specialty chemical that exist of high alkaline chemical cleaner. We do not use any acid chemicals. High alkaline soaps are more expensive but they are ultra safe for new car paint compounds that are used today. Using acid to clean cars will discolor black trim and can stain paints. That's why we do not use acids to clean cars. Our automatic has a patent pending process that takes two very high alkaline soap compounds and heats them to 160 degrees and then mixes them together right before it is sprayed on the car. This is why we are the best car wash in town. When you leave our car wash your car is squeaky clean.
