Car dealer Auto Solutions is to launch Bermuda’s first self-serve carwash operated by an app.

The app-activated carwash, which opens tomorrow, is located behind Auto Solutions and the Rubis Gas Station on St John’s Road, Pembroke. It will be open Monday to Saturday from 8am to 8pm and Sundays from 10am to 4pm. The carwash is not limited to Auto Solutions customers.

The “Touch-4-Wash” app is available for download via the Apple Store and Google Play for Android. Once installed, the app will allow registered users to purchase a wash, share the app with friends to earn free credit and gain loyalty points towards free washes, a statement from Auto Solutions said.

The carwash, the statement said, uses premium biodegradable soaps, and features 3D profiling technology to provide a custom wash. The carwash uses filtered rain water, and closed-cell foam sponges. A high-powered pressure wash system is available to free mud and debris from tyres and rims before a car enters the wash.

Pricing tiers start at $19.95 for the “express wash”, going up to $29.95 for “the works”. Monthly membership packages start at $65. The top-tier $95 per month package gives customers access to one carwash daily, and a complimentary vacuum per wash. After exiting the carwash, vacuums are available for non-members at $4.95 for four minutes.

Glen Smith, managing director of Auto Solutions said: “We are excited to bring another option for car washing to Bermuda — one that’s fast, easy to use and affordable. The membership pricing of $95 per month for our top-level carwash package can’t be beat.

“With this package, you could technically go through the carwash every day, which equates to just over $3.22 per carwash.”

Peter Richold, carwash manager, added: “The carwash is monitored by CCTV but will be manned by a member of our team, whenever it is open, to assist any customers if needed though we hope that for the most part it will be completely self-serve. We have also installed instructional signage to make the process as seamless as possible for our customers.”

The carwash can accommodate commercial fleets from light vans up to HA panel vans, Auto Solutions said. Discounts will be offered to large fleets.
