🧟 Would YOU Drive Through a Haunted Carwash?

Forget the haunted house. Some carwash operators are taking Halloween straight into the wash tunnel!

We're talking creepy characters, eerie lighting, spooky sounds, and a clean car at the end of it all. 👻🚗

It's a creative way to turn an everyday service into a memorable community experience.

We want to hear from our Heartland operators: Have you hosted a haunted carwash? Would you ever consider it?

And if you're hosting one THIS YEAR, drop your event link below so we can help spread the word!

A HUGE thank you to Sota Shine for welcoming the HCA Road Show and giving our group the opportunity to experience your truly extraordinary operation! 🚗✨

Your facility is nothing short of impressive, and having the opportunity to see the longest car wash tunnel in the world firsthand is an experience our group won’t soon forget! What you’ve built is remarkable, and it’s absolutely the kind of operation people will be talking about long after the tour is over.

We sincerely appreciate your hospitality and generosity! Thank you for sharing your operation with us and helping make the HCA Road Show such a memorable experience. We’re grateful for the opportunity to learn from outstanding operators like you who continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible in our industry!

📸 THE ROAD SHOW, THROUGH YOUR EYES 🚍

The best part of the HCA Carwash Road Show wasn’t just the equipment, the facilities or the stops—it was the people and the experiences we shared along the way.

From conversations on the bus to behind-the-scenes tours, new connections, plenty of laughs and a few wow moments, the day was packed with memories.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, opened their doors, shared their expertise, sponsored the experience and helped make the day one to remember.

The people make the Road Show. ❤️
