Express exterior car washes first originated in 2001 and revolutionized the industry with the speed and efficiency that they operate with. An express exterior car wash uses a conveyor to guide vehicles through the tunnel which features soft-touch friction brushes, high pressurized water, and chemicals designed to clean a vehicle in 90 seconds or less.
Thoroughbred Express offers exclusive unlimited memberships to our customers that make keeping your vehicle clean a worry of the past. You can wash your car multiple times a day if you wish and you’ll have access to our vacuum lot & amenities with purchase of the monthly membership.
Unlimited memberships are offered at a specific monthly rate where our customers can sign up using our License Plate Recognition and enjoy whenever they please. Each membership will renew monthly on the anniversary date of the original sign-up. Memberships can be cancelled at any time.
License Plate Recognition is a brand new development in the car wash industry that focuses on creating a quick, seamless, and easy wash selection purchase or membership sign-up. Using cameras mounted near our pay stations, we can read & remember your license plate within our database to immediately open our gate to welcome you into our wash tunnel.

Yes! So long as your vehicle meets the standard size requirements for our tunnel it will be extremely safe going through our tunnels. Our wraps are made of slim Neoglide microfiber extensions that softly glide across your car’s surface to provide an ultimate cleaning experience while leaving no scratches. We proudly use Zep Vehicle Care products in our tunnel that are also both vehicle safe, and designed to clean even the toughest road grime.
Due to the high volume of washes we give every day, it is not fair to other customers to spend 2- 3X the normal prep time to remove mud and it can also sling mud on our wraps. Even though we are a car wash we reserve the right to turn away people who come through with mud that is caked all over the vehicle or in the wheel wells.
We request that all trailer hitches be moved prior to the wash process. If there is a trailer hitch still on a vehicle, we will retract the wraps, so it doesn’t wrap around and damage our wash equipment.
