The industry's fastest news desk.

The Car Wash News covers the business of car washing — memberships and subscriptions, acquisitions and expansions, operations, technology, and the people building the industry. When news breaks anywhere in the trade press, our newsroom publishes an original story within minutes.

How we work

Our newsroom pairs automated monitoring of the industry's trade publications with editorial oversight. Software watches the trade press around the clock; every story is written fresh with original framing and analysis, and every story links to the reporting it draws on. We never republish another outlet's work, and we credit sources on every article.

Each story closes with a practical read on what the news means for operators — the owners, general managers, and marketing leads running washes day to day.

Corrections

If we got something wrong, we want to fix it fast. Corrected stories are updated in place, and material corrections are noted on the story itself.
