GENERAL
What kind of products does Autowash use on my vehicle?
We have gone to extreme lengths to make sure that Autowash has the best soaps available to provide a safe clean that gets the job done, and never uses any acids.
Most car washes use harmful, aggressive chemicals and detergents to burn dirt off quickly. Some of the other chemicals are acids and what we know about acids is that they keep working until they are neutralized. Going through fast washes, those acids are not 100% neutralized, so some of it keeps working and can cause long-term damage with repeated exposure and longer periods of time.
If you’ve heard that touchless car washes have to use acids (usually from your detailer or a car group), that is mostly true – except at Autowash, where you can always count on our soaps to be acid free thanks to great chemists who create the propriety Autowash blends. Most gas station washes, express tunnels, and car washes that highlight how “fast” they are, are using acids to speed up the process to get more cars through faster.
Instead, Autowash created our own line of soaps for our car washes. It costs a little more to do the right thing, but this is an area where we refuse to cut corners! After all, isn’t your car worth the good stuff?
Another area where Autowash separates is our spot-free water. Most car washes don’t use true spot-free water, and it’s a choice. Spot-free water doesn’t move as fast off of the car drying, so some car washes will use untreated water to the wash dries faster. We chose to make sure we use 99.995% mineral-free water so that we never leave hard water spots on the vehicle – even if that means that a few extra drops of water are left on the car, they are safe.
What are the individual automatic wash options?
Autowash currently has four different individual touchless automatic car wash levels to choose from. These include:
ESSENTIAL WASH - Have attachments on your vehicle? This wash is for you. The Essential car wash option provides a high-pressure wash to dislodge dirt from the undercarriage and your paint, then it finishes with a spot-free rinse to reduce spotting. This wash level is attachment-friendly for our customers with rooftop boxes, racks, and other attachments. The Essential car wash option is available in the Basic Wash Plan or as a single wash purchase at $12 per wash. The Essential Wash does not include contouring or drying.
Essential car wash includes: Undercarriage wash, high pressure wash, and spot-free rinse.
COMPLETE PLUS - The Complete Plus car wash option provides all the care your car needs to keep it shining, with our undercarriage wash, presoak, high-pressure washing, spot-free water, and contour drying.

Does each wash include an undercarriage wash?
Yes, all of our wash levels include the undercarriage wash. The Superior Plus and Incredible Wash levels also add our unique protectant to the undercarriage to prevent corrosion. At select Autowash locations you have the option to add 2X undercarriage which doubles the time for even more cleaning.
Do the Automatic Bays ever close?
The bays will shut down automatically at 20 degrees Fahrenheit for safety. Doors open and close automatically. Autowash locations are open 24 hours, 365 days per year. However, at select locations, Autowash may be required to limit after-hours activity due to local rules or regulations.

MEMBERSHIP
How do I sign up for an Autowash membership?
Easy! Click here Or download our app on any Apple or Android device. Select become a member then follow the prompts to sign up. It's as simple as that. Plus, it’s easy to upgrade or cancel your plan. You can check the status of your account in the User Settings section of the app.
Are there any other benefits to my membership besides washing my car?
In addition to access to all the benefits of washing your car at Autowash locations, membership includes exclusive perks and access to discounts. We partner with other local businesses to provide you with unique perks you won't find anywhere else, including discounts on services, dining, chances to win premium tickets to Rockies and Broncos games, early access to Autowash events like car shows, and more! The Autowash member perks are changing all the time and are available only in the app to current members.
Can I share my membership?
The membership is limited to (1) mobile device per user. You can share your membership with one friend or family member by signing up for our wash-and-share program and paying the additional fee. It does not provide any additional washes daily, but it allows your membership to be accessed by an additional person using their mobile device.
How does the Wash-and-Share program work?
The Autowash Wash-and-Share program allows you, the Member, to add one additional user to your account.
By using the Wash-and-Share program, the additional user added to your account will be able to use your membership, including the daily wash allowance. In addition to the daily wash, shared users will be able to purchase additional washes using the payment method associated with the account. By adding Wash-and-Share program users to your membership account, you give them express permission to use the wash and/or pay for additional services using your payment method on file and you agree to be responsible for any transactions created by your family plan.
The Wash-and-Share program is still subject to the 1 car wash per day limit per account. The shared user does not add any additional washes to the account. The Wash-and-Share program user added to the account will have access to the use of the car wash. That means that both members of the Wash-and-Share program plan share the single included member wash per day. Once the first member of the plan uses the daily free wash, the remaining users of the plan will need to either purchase additional washes to use it on the same day or wait until the following day to use the daily wash. The daily wash clock resets at 11:59 pm each night.
Each user is required to comply with the safety signage and app agreements whether displayed at the car wash or in the mobile app.
Wash-and-Share program members will be able to purchase additional washes in a day at the current Member Pricing Discount of 25%.
The addition of a shared user to your Membership will result in a prorated increase in your monthly amount and will be calculated and presented to you before finalizing the transaction.
Pay-Per-Wash transactions are also presented to the user with the discount applied before finalizing the transaction. Until the Purchase button has been selected, users may exit/cancel out of the process at any time by hitting the back button on their device or selecting a back arrow. No refunds will be given for pay-per-wash transactions.
You may remove a Wash-and-Share program user at any time and the fee will be automatically prorated by the payment processor.
Users who already have a pre-existing subscription may not be added to the Wash-and-Share program while that subscription is active. Refunds will not be provided for canceled membership subscriptions under the normal terms and conditions of that membership.
The terms of the Wash-and-Share program are superseded by the overall Autowash Terms and Conditions.

CLEARANCE & VEHICLE SIZES
How wide is TOO wide?
The Automatic Bays have a maximum width of 8'0" (96 inches). Because of the movement of our wash, just fitting through the door may not be enough.
Please read all caution signs. Any attachments (Stock, OEM, or Aftermarket) may be lower than the clearance bar, but you still need to use the Essential Wash ONLY to prevent damage. If you drive a truck with extra-wide pr tow mirrors, regardless of the wash level selected, fold them in just to be safe!
My Car is Low... how low can I go?
The minimum height to go through the Automatic wash is 4" of ground clearance. Beginning in 2024, Autowash locations will be converting to a new optical sensor system. This will allow us to remove the mid-bay guide rail and allow vehicles with any level of ground clearance to wash. Many locations have been converted and the remaining will be converted throughout 2024. If you're unsure if your location can accommodate your lowered vehicle, reach out to our customer success team at 303-927-9061
Are Low Profile Wheels okay in the wash?
Low profile rims are defined as when the sidewall is less than 50% of the width of the tire. Vehicles with low-profile wheels may use the wash, however, because of the lack of tire protecting the rim, please take extra caution when driving into the bay.
The guide rails are installed to protect the machine and make sure the vehicle is located in the bay properly for the automatic machine to run safely.
Autowash is not responsible for damage caused by wheels rubbing against the protective guide rails.

Can I wash my BIG truck in the automatic bay?
Yes, you can wash most pickup trucks in the Automatic, including extended long cabs, duallys, etc. Large wheels (up to 12" wide") are welcome.
Full-size trucks should FOLD IN their side view mirrors to prevent the wash from making contact with the mirrors
What is the maximum height of the Automatic Bay?
The Automatic Bays have a maximum clearance of 7'6". Because some of our wash levels have contouring features, just fitting below the clearance bar may not be enough.

Are Rear Spoilers safe in the wash?
Yes, if the spoiler is 6" or taller from the vehicle, you can use the
Essential wash level only.
A tall spoiler on any vehicle is an attachment that extends beyond the main body of the vehicle, limiting the level of the wash that may be selected. This includes the Subaru WRX STI, Honda Civic Type R, Ford Focus ST, and any other vehicle that may have a tall spoiler.
Why are there rails in the bay?
The guide rails in the bay are to make sure that the vehicle is located in the correct spot to safely begin the automatic wash and keep vehicles from running into the machine.
I have a rear-mounted spare tire, can I still use the wash?
Yes, you can use the Essential wash level only.
A rear-mounted tire on any vehicle is an attachment that extends beyond the main body of the vehicle, limiting the level of the wash that may be selected. This includes Jeep Wranglers, FJ Cruisers, and any other vehicle that may have a rear-mounted tire.

What type of vehicles can use an Autowash Fleet account?
We can wash almost any normal passenger size vehicle including trucks, vans, SUVs, and some larger vehicles with limitations. Our automatic touchless washes have displayed height limits of 7ft 6in and vehicles washing in these bays must obey the attachment rules. Anything that extends more than 6 inches beyond the main body of the vehicle, including ladder racks, rear-mounted spare tires, roof racks, storage boxes, and large trailer hitches is considered an attachment and limits the user to the Essential Wash only for their safety and the safety of our equipment.
Vehicles without attachments may use any of the automatic wash levels in the fleet plan. If an attachment extends 10 inches or more from the factory frame that vehicle cannot use the automatic wash. Our self-serve washes can accommodate larger vehicles or any vehicle with attachments. Please obey all maximum height warnings on site and if you have concerns or questions about a vehicle fitting into any of our wash bays contact our Customer Success Team at 303-927-9061 for guidance.
