How do you get the vehicle so dry if no one is drying the vehicle as it exits?

We have invested in new equipment and top of the line products. Both the products we select and the technology we use results in a dryer vehicle.

Do I get a quality wash when you’re really busy?

YES! Our tunnel is equipped with top technology allowing us to provide a quality shine every time regardless of how busy we are.

How often should I wash my car at Quickie’s?

It depends. Personal preference, where you drive your vehicle, and where you store your vehicles are just a few of the variables that you must take into consideration. The International Car Wash Association recommends that if your vehicle is subjected to contaminants such as pesticides, sand, salt, and industrial fallout that the vehicle be washed weekly to protect your vehicle's delicate finish. In seasons or climates where there are less harmful elements a wash every two weeks should be sufficient.

How often should I get the Q HydroPel Total Body Protection?

Q HydroPel designed to protect today's vehicles clear coats. When used regularly, it will help keep your vehicle looking new. We recommend that you use this product at least every 2 washes for ultimate protection and shine.

How do you create the spot-free water?

Quickie’s uses a system called Reverse Osmosis to make its spot free water. With this system highly pressurized water is pushed through semi-permeable plastic membranes that trap solids such as calcium and magnesium. It is these naturally occurring solids that cause the white crusty spots on your vehicle if left to dry on its own when you wash your car at home. Prior to being pushed through the membranes water travels through a commercial grade water softener and a carbon filter to remove chlorine and oxidizing agents that will cause harm to the very sensitive membranes. After the water has traveled through the R.O. system it is stored in (4) 1200 gallon tanks and sprayed on your car as it goes through.

Working at Quickie’s looks like it would be a lot of fun. How do I apply for a job?
