Tommy’s Express breaks ground on Plainfield Ave in Grand Rapids, MI

Holland, MI-based national car wash franchise Tommy’s Express is pleased to announce the official groundbreaking of a new high-end express car wash facility in Northview Heights on the north side of Grand Rapids on Friday, October 19th at 1:pm.

Located at 4095 Plainfield Avenue NE, the new Tommy’s Express joins one facility in Grandville near Rivertown Crossings, another under construction off Chicago Drive in Jenison, and several more across the nation.

The new facility will feature Tommy’s Express’ signature building design paired with exclusive, state-of-the-art car wash technology. Oversized bay windows will provide a view into the system as it operates, carrying vehicles along a 130’ “Tommy Transporter” dual belt conveyor system able to accommodate a wider variety of vehicles than traditional car wash conveyors. Soft cloth brushes, tire shine service, hot wax, and a powerful underbody flush round out the service with a total wash time, from entrance to exit, averaging only 2-3 minutes. Self-serve interior vacuum stations will be available for customers to use on-site.

Using a mobile app, customers will be able to purchase and manage monthly Unlimited Club Memberships to gain automatic entrance to the wash through exclusive member lanes equipped with high-definition license plate readers. Membership costs run between $19.99 and $29.99 per month depending upon the chosen service level, and provides members on-demand access to all Tommy’s Express locations.

According to a corporate representative, “The Tommy’s Express Car Wash franchise is growing extremely quickly, with sites going up all across the United States! We’re thrilled by this progress, and we’re especially happy to see Tommy’s Express putting down such deep roots right here in our home state.”

The car wash is scheduled to open to customers in 2019.
