Mister Car Wash, the nation’s leading car wash company, has officially announced the grand opening of its 500th store, a landmark achievement that underscores its commitment to exceptional car care and customer satisfaction. The milestone location, situated in Tucson, Arizona, opened its doors on September 20th, marking a historic day for the company and its loyal customer base. This expansion not only highlights Mister Car Wash’s growth but also reinforces its deep-rooted connection to Tucson, where the company’s headquarters are located.
This momentous 500th opening is a direct reflection of Mister Car Wash’s unwavering dedication to providing top-tier car wash services across the United States. From its inception, Mister Car Wash has prioritized an unparalleled car wash experience, and this new store is a symbol of that ongoing mission, fueled significantly by the success of the Mister Car Wash Loyalty Program.
“Reaching 500 locations is an incredible milestone for Mister Car Wash,” stated CEO John Lai. “This achievement is a direct result of the hard work of our team members and, most importantly, the unwavering loyalty of our customers who trust us with their car care needs. Our growth is intrinsically linked to our commitment to customer satisfaction, which is exemplified by the value and benefits offered through the mister car wash loyalty program.”
The new Houghton Road location in Tucson boasts a cutting-edge tunnel wash system, utilizing eco-friendly products and proprietary cleaning technology. A team of highly trained professionals is dedicated to upholding the exceptional service standards that Mister Car Wash customers have come to expect. Customers can anticipate a fast, efficient, and environmentally responsible car cleaning experience. Notably, the location offers the signature Titanium Wash, featuring the exclusive Titanium 360™ formula. This comprehensive wash package delivers all-around protection, including underbody corrosion defense and a brilliant, mirror-like shine. It also incorporates HotShine Carnauba Wax® to protect the vehicle’s finish and Platinum Repel Shield for a final layer of defense against dirt and grime.
To commemorate the 500th store opening and express gratitude to the Tucson community, Mister Car Wash hosted a free wash weekend from September 20-22. Residents were invited to experience the premium Titanium Wash, a $25 value, completely free of charge. Adding to the celebratory atmosphere, the first 500 visitors each day received exclusive Mister Car Wash merchandise as a special memento of the 500th store opening. Local radio stations 93.7 KRQ and 92.9 The Bull broadcasted live from the new location on Friday, September 20th, further amplifying the excitement with on-air personalities and giveaways, including concert tickets to popular artists.
Edgar LaMadrid, Regional Manager at Mister Car Wash, emphasized the company’s commitment to community engagement: “Mister Car Wash is dedicated to being a positive force in the communities we serve. We create local jobs, support community initiatives, and provide essential car wash services that help maintain the appearance and value of vehicles in our neighborhoods. Our company culture is built on caring for our employees, fostering hard work, and creating a fun environment that encourages growth, both for our team members and the company itself.”
Demonstrating its dedication to environmental stewardship and community reinvestment, Mister Car Wash has partnered with Tucson Clean & Beautiful (TCB) to plant 500 trees in Tucson. This collaboration will see Mister Car Wash funding the tree purchase and employee volunteers participating in tree-planting events throughout late September and October. This initiative underscores Mister Car Wash’s commitment to sustainability and giving back to the Tucson community, further solidifying its role as a responsible corporate citizen.
The Houghton Road location also provides complimentary, convenient vacuum stations for interior car cleaning. For those seeking ultimate convenience and value, the Mister Car Wash Unlimited Wash Club offers the flexibility of unlimited washes at any Mister Car Wash location. Members also benefit from dedicated priority lanes, ensuring a seamless and efficient car wash experience.
