If you’ve ever pulled into a self-serve car wash only to find broken hoses, half the settings out of order, and trash in the corners, you’re not alone. Too many of these places are neglected by absentee owners who just want to collect the quarters. Others close down when long-time owners retire, leaving empty lots or new apartments in their place.

The result? Customers are frustrated, and communities lose a valuable service.

We decided to do something about this problem.

We’re Jeremy and Charissa Quade. As long-time Mesa residents and small business owners with a passion for quality service and local community. we want to bring abandoned or aging car washes back to life and make them better than ever.

With my 20+ years of business experience and my husband’s engineering background, we’re combining our skills to create car washes that actually work, feel safe, and serve people well.

This isn’t just about clean cars. It’s about revitalizing neighborhoods, building local pride, and showing that small businesses still matter.

Driven by More Than Clean Cars

A clean car makes people feel good. For a working parent, it’s a little boost of confidence before a big day. For a small business owner, it’s the professional image that helps them win customers. For neighbors, it’s one more reason to feel proud of their community.

That’s why we’re committed to making our self-serve car washes different: safe, bright, reliable, and run by people who actually care.

 We’re on a mission to bring abandoned and aging car washes back to life, creating safe, reliable, and affordable spaces for our neighborhoods. With my 20+ years as an entrepreneur, and my husband’s engineering expertise, we’re combining our skills to build a business that serves people.

This isn’t just about clean cars, it’s about revitalizing communities, supporting local causes, and modeling what it looks like to grow lasting revenue streams that make a difference.

Our first step is finding and revitalizing a local car wash in the Phoenix area, with primary focus on the East Valley.

From there, we plan to expand to more locations, each one rooted in its neighborhood and giving back through sponsorships, partnerships, and local investment.

Because when businesses are done right, everyone benefits.

We’re actively looking to lease a closed or under-utilized self-serve car wash property in the East Valley to build out and operate. Here’s what we have in mind:

• Within 25 miles of Mesa, AZ
  
• Self-serve car wash or self-serve car wash with an In Bay Automatic
  
• Abandoned OR in need of upgrades
  
• Landlord ready for a smooth, respectful transaction and a 15 year lease.

At every location we run, here’s what you can count on:

• ✅ A Clean, Safe Environment — well-lit, secure, and always cared for.
• ✅ Reliable Equipment — every setting works, every time.
• ✅ High-Quality Products — strong soaps, powerful rinses, no watered-down shortcuts.
• ✅ Community Commitment — local involvement, sponsorships, and giving back.
• ✅ Hands-On Ownership — we’re not absentee landlords. You’ll see us on-site, ensuring things run the way they should.
