New Business Grand Opening in Sparks

Surf Thru Express Car Wash is pleased to announce the opening of its newest location at 2050 Pyramid Way, Sparks. This is Surf Thru Express Car Wash’s 18th location and their third location in northern Nevada. Surf Thru Express Car Wash opened in Carson City in 2016 and in Reno the following year. In total, the three locations will employee approximately 45 people.

Surf Thru Express Car Wash is a WaterSavers car wash facility, and an industry leader in recycling and reclaiming water. Washing your car at home or going to an older facility can use up to 120 gallons of water. Surf Thru Express Car Wash far exceeds industry standards for saving water and the average car wash uses less water than a home washing machine. In addition, when you wash your car at home you wash brake dust, oils, fluids, dirt and grime directly into the storm drain, which is a serious threat to rivers, oceans, lakes and sources of water. At Surf Thru Express Car Wash this “muck” is filtered out, stored and properly disposed.

“Improving Reno’s water conservation efforts and reducing their environmental impact is part of our business model. In fact, our Sparks location will be solar powered from the day it opens,” said co-owner Scott Howry. More than half of the Surf Thru Express Car Wash locations are “Powered By The Sun” and over the next few years solar power will continue to be added to existing locations.

Surf Thru Express Car Wash is leader in the high-end, express car wash market. Car washes start at $8. Unlimited monthly car wash memberships and family share cards are also available. Features include purified water, high quality soft cloth applicators and equipment, spot free rinse, Armor All Professional Extreme Shine Wax and Rain-X complete surface protectant. Customers can also use complimentary vacuums and air pressure blowers to clean their car’s interior. Additional products are available in vending machines, plus the cashiers offer daily freebies such as trash bags and dash wipes. “Customer service is our top priority. You will leave with a clean car and a smile,” said Howry.

As part of the grand opening Surf Thru Express Car Wash is offering a free car wash when customers join their mobile coupon text club for future specials, as well as discounts on unlimited car wash memberships.

Surf Thru Express Car Wash operates 18 car washes in the California, Nevada, Texas and Arizona. More information is available at www.surfthruexpress.com.
