Tunnel of Terror at Tommy’s Express

Tunnel of Terror® at Tommy’s Express is a Halloween event you don’t want to miss. 

In 2022, nearly 60 Tommy’s Express sites hosted Tunnel of Terror. 2023 will be our first year with over 100 sites participating. 

If you love Halloween, a good scare, and a clean car, here’s an event you should put on your list.

What is Tunnel of Terror?

Throughout October, Tommy’s Express locations all over the country turn bright and inviting tunnels into a scary, frightening, haunted car wash experience.  

You will recognize the same great wash quality the Works package always brings. After that, things get a bit removed from the normal Tommy’s Express experience… 

A stormy ambiance surrounds the dimly lit, multicolored glow of the wash. Ominous music echoes in the distance, reverberating between spiderwebs, skeletons, and ghouls. 

Disguised team members prowl inside and outside the wash menacingly, waiting for their next unsuspecting victim to scare… 

Imagine all the fun and fright of a haunted house enjoyed from the comfort of your vehicle, plus a clean car at the end.  

It’s a great way to get in the Halloween spirit without the cold, crowded haunted house. You don’t leave with sore feet, either. You stay in your vehicle, and we do the rest.  

Naturally, an event this spectacular draws intrigue. Below are answers to a few common questions about Tunnel of Terror. 

Is Tunnel of Terror family-friendly?

While Tommy’s Express is normally inviting and fun for people of all ages, Tunnel of Terror may not be suitable for young children or those who are scared easily.  

Jump scares by dressed-up team members, a dark tunnel, and spooky music work together and create a wonderfully scary ride through our wash.  

Some sites may be more kid-friendly than others, so we ask that you use your best judgment when deciding to bring your children to this haunted car wash event.

Do I need tickets? 

There is no registration or tickets required to participate. Visit the Tunnel of Terror page to find your nearest participating location and hours.  

These events are popular, and you may be in line for some time before you enter the wash. But fear not; we have ways of ensuring the scares start long before the tunnel! 

When is Tunnel of Terror this year? 

Tunnel of Terror will be held on various days and times from mid-October to Halloween.  

Times for the events also vary. During the event, members will not be able to wash “normally” without the full Tunnel of Terror experience. Check the Tunnel of Terror page for details for each site regarding date and time. 

Make Tunnel of Terror at Tommy’s Express a highlight of your family’s Halloween traditions starting this year! We can’t wait to see (and scare) you this October.
