Puget Sound Car Wash Association Member Testimonials

"Being a new member of the PSCWA and first time tunnel carwash operator allowed me to meet people in the industry. It has also educated me in new ideas and service offerings."

"I have received exceptional value from my membership in the Puget Sound Car Wash Association, and the payback period is very short. We are lucky to have this award- winning group in our backyard that includes many of the top local independent car wash owners, all of which care deeply about this industry, the association, and each other. The quality of opinions and ideas that the members share is very high. This is a group that is looking at today’s tactics to improve profitability, but also tomorrow’s vision and strategy of where and how car washing plays a key role in a sustainable environment. Thanks to the tireless work of the PSCWA staff, the PSCWA has become a well-regarded and respected entity among a number of prominent local environmental groups and government agencies, which will help expand the demand for our services for years to come. The innovative “Charity Car Wash Program” that is offered to all members is an effective way to attract new customers who may not have known about your wash due to their commute patterns. My recommendation to every owner that I meet is to join the PSCWA, because I know they will thank me for it."

"The most important role that PSCWA provides is continuity and follow though. The car wash owners/operators have a lot of good ideas, but their priorities are their operations. The PSCWA can make connections with government agencies and lobby legislators educating them with our message in a consistent professional manner. Also, they keep the Charity Car Wash Program in operation, which is an important aspect to our organization giving us legitimacy as an environmental organization.

I personally enjoy the meetings. I always come away with some information that either makes my business more efficient, or saves me time researching and perhaps buying equipment or chemicals that are not going to work for my business. I find that this has been the best source for finding out about new government regulations and policies, as well."

"As a founding member of the PSCWA, my business has benefited in numerous ways. Today's minor investment into one of the industries leading Associations is value that cannot be compared to others industry Associations. The effectiveness of the PSCWA to deliver our message of the advantages and benefits of professional car washing to regulators cannot be overstated. I can attribute my active membership to gaining industry friends, saving untold thousands of $$, gaining wash volumes, and protecting our industry from over-regulation and gaining the support of regulators that would not be financially feasible to accomplish without being a member of the PSCWA."
