MILFORD, Conn., March 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Splash Car Wash, headquartered in Milford, CT, today announced the opening of their newest express car wash located in Geneva, NY. The 140-foot tunnel features best-in-class MacNeil equipment along with the Petit tunnel wash system, a new technology that provides high pressure cleaning to the entire vehicle, which Splash has installed at several of its most recent development sites. This new state-of-the-art express wash further solidifies Splash's leading position in the New York market and brings the chain's number of washes to 46.

Splash installed 20 self-service vacuum stations at the new site, as well as automated pay gates to ensure the safest, fastest and most effective car wash experience for customers. Additionally, unlimited wash plans will be available that allow customers to wash at any of Splash's locations as many times as they desire for one low monthly charge.

Splash has also re-opened an express tunnel in Brockport, NY, which was formerly a Buckman's Car Wash and acquired by Splash in late 2021. The site, located on Brockport-Spencerport Road and next to Walmart, now features all new MacNeil wash equipment and automatic pay stations. Splash will be adding self-service vacuums to the location in the next few months.

In other news, work is continuing on another Buckman's wash located in Spencerport, New York, which management expects to be opened within two weeks and rebranded to Splash. Renovations of the Chile Buckman's location will begin immediately thereafter.

Splash expects to open their new express site in East Haven, CT and will begin construction on six more sites shortly.
