EXPRESS VS. FULL SERVICE

EXPRESS VS. FULL SERVICE CAR WASH:

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

When choosing a car wash, it’s important to consider several factors in order to select what type of car wash that is best. Do you wash your car often? Have you waxed your car recently? Are you a solo traveler with a strict no-food-in-the-car policy or do you consistently have snacks, kids or pets roaming around in the backseat? At Thomas Car Wash, we strive to provide the best experience to our customers by offering a variety of options for routine car care.

Here are the key insights to what you can expect with our full-service car wash and express car wash options.

The benefits of an Express Car Wash are:

Exterior Vehicle Cleaning

Select a wash from our pay stations, enter the wash tunnel, and leave sparkling clean all under 3 minutes!

Time Efficiency.

On the go? Express is your best bet! Zoom through the tunnel in a matter of minutes and then be on your way. Don’t sweat the time it takes to clean your vehicle because you'll be in and out with a nice, clean car. Planning on frequent visits? Consider value-priced unlimited car wash plans and cruise through the tunnel as often as you want!

Tunnel Technology

Our automation software is advanced. The vehicle profile detector (VPD) maps out a sonar image of your car so the machines can accurately clean your vehicle safely without any worry of missed spots on your car.

Perfection to your Standards

Express car washes are ideal for someone who wants to clean their car on their own terms! Our tunnel wash uses reverse osmosis (RO) water along with Neo-Glide brushes, high-quality soap and waxing products to enhance shine and clean off dirt and bugs. You’ll receive free materials, like our handheld vacuums and rubber/carpet mat cleaners to ensure you leave with your car looking exactly how you want it.

A fun (and safe) experience. 

It’s always fun to come to the car wash! Kids love rolling through the tunnel and watching the neon-colored experience of cleaning your vehicle. It's one of the few chores that has a show built in.

What can I expect from a Full Service Car Wash?

Vehicle Cleaning: Inside and Out

With a car wash and quick interior vacuuming, window wiping and dusting, our full-service car washes cleans your vehicle from the inside out so that your car’s wheels, doors, console and dash will be sparkling clean. You can even choose additional car wash services like tire shine and air freshener.

Quality Care

You’ll experience a more hands-on cleaning service for your vehicle. Our employees are trained professionals who have the tools to get the job done right. They use their knowledge of how to effectively care for your vehicle, but in a timely manner to get your back on the road quickly. With final review checks in place, your satisfaction is guaranteed.

Convenience.

The full-service car wash takes approximately 20 minutes start to finish to serve as an effective means to clean your vehicle inside and out. Relax in our indoor or outdoor waiting areas while your car is being cared for. We recommend two washes per month to keep junk buildup at bay.

Best option for routine car care.

Remember, a full-service car wash is different from a thorough (and more expensive) car detailing service. While full-service washes are comprehensive, old fabric stains and caked cupholders are likely to remain. This distinction is important because it means full-service washes are ideal for routine cleaning, and stain removal/deep cleaning are for a detail service.
