Would You Pay a Monthly Subscription To Wash Your Car?

Car washes are in! Car washes look much different today than they did 20 years ago when mostly teenagers would post up on corners with big signs looking for customers to fund a school trip. Now, the car wash business is big business. A car wash can cost anywhere from $3 to $20, depending on whether it’s a do-it-yourself wash or an automatic wash. Full-service washes range from $20 to $50 and detailing could range into the hundreds of dollars. Do you like to get your car washed every week? If so, then a subscription may make sense to you. If it were $10 per car wash without a subscription and $20 a month for unlimited washes with a subscription, you’d have to go to the car wash at least three times a month for a subscription to be worth it. If you only go to the car wash twice a month, a subscription would be unnecessary.
