Founded in 2019 by Danny York and Mac McCall, Caliber Car Wash is a membership-driven premium, express car wash company, with locations throughout the Southeast.

"We are thrilled with our partnership with Eagle," said Mac McCall, Caliber Car Wash. "The focus of their investment strategy, extensive and far-reaching experience in scaling other multi-unit consumer companies is what we've been looking for in a partner."
