Built By Operators. Engineered For Uptime. Sold Factory-Direct.
WashX wasn't started by suits in a boardroom. It was built by operators tired of the 'Distributor Tax,' proprietary parts, and equipment that breaks when you need it most. We’re here to give you the quality of the big brands—without the markup.
About WashX: Factory-Direct Car Wash Equipment
We Built The Equipment We Wish We Could Have Bought.
In 2023, we were exactly where you are right now. We were in the middle of a full site rehab—new tunnel, vacuums, signage—the works. We had the vision and the capital, but the equipment buying process was a nightmare. Every vendor we met viewed us as a paycheck, not a partner.
We realized the industry was broken. The legacy manufacturers weren't building for the operator's ROI; they were building to feed a bloated distribution network. We were tired of being overcharged, overpromised, and underdelivered. We knew that if we wanted a system that was tough, simple, and affordable, we had to build it ourselves.
So, we stopped being customers and became engineers. WashX Systems was born from that frustration. We stripped away the middle-men, the corporate fluff. We replaced them with heavy-duty stainless steel, industrial-grade parts, and a factory-direct model that respects your budget.
Today, we don't just sell equipment; we share a playbook. When you call us, you aren't talking to a sales rep who has never washed a car. You’re talking to operators who know what it feels like when a hydraulic hose blows on a Saturday. We built WashX to be the partner we never had.
We’re not here to be the biggest brand. We’re here to be the most operator-focused—building car wash equipment the way it should have been built all along.
Why We’re Different
• Operator DNA: Engineered by people who have actually changed a hydraulic hose on a Saturday.
Industrial Standards: We use proven components (motors, bearings, valves) you can source locally—no proprietary traps.
Factory-Direct Model: No middle-men, no territory markups, and no hidden fees.
Owner-to-Owner Support: We share our actual SOPs and playbooks to help you ramp up faster.

Our Story.
We refused to compromise. We engineered a system that combines heavy-duty structural stainless steel with standard U.S. components (motors, controls, and chemistry). The result? A wash that costs 30% less to build and is infinitely easier to maintain.
It worked—beautifully.
We launched WashX Systems to make that same model available to other operators:
High-quality express tunnel systems with faster lead times, lower costs, and no compromises.
Who We Are.
WashX is led by real operators who have built, owned, and optimized every kind of wash—from scratch.
We don't just sell equipment; we run it. We own and operate a 110-foot express tunnel, self-serve bays, and a flex-space detailing center. We have navigated site rehabs, fought construction overages, and dealt with vendor failures—so we know exactly what it takes to win.

The Strategist & Builder:
MBA in Global Business, former California Highway Patrol officer, and Planning Commissioner. Parmbir knows how to navigate red tape. He brings deep expertise in construction oversight, site planning, and risk management—helping you get your wash built and open without the headaches.

We built WashX to be the company we wish we had when we started.
Our Mission.
To liberate operators from the 'Proprietary Trap.' We exist to engineer industrial-grade express tunnel systems that deliver premium performance without the legacy markup—giving you control back over your equipment, your maintenance, and your future.
Our Values.
No Sales Games. We provide clear, honest quotes without the fluff. We don't hide costs in confusing bundles, and we never push features you don't need just to hit a sales quota.
Built For Uptime, Not Parts Revenue. We design systems to run smoothly, not to fail so we can sell you replacements. If a component doesn't add durability or ROI, we don't include it.
Industrial Integrity. We refuse to use cheap plastic or proprietary valves. We use heavy-gauge stainless steel and standard components that last decades, not seasons.
We Get Our Hands Dirty. We aren't consultants sitting in an ivory tower. We are builders who are on-site, in the trenches, ensuring your wash launches successfully.
Partnership, Not Ghosting. We know the panic of a breakdown. That’s why we provide direct access to real experts and share our internal SOPs so you can fix problems fast.

Field-Tested Logic
We don't build on theory. Every component is tested in our own high-volume tunnels first. If it doesn't survive our daily wash counts, we don't sell it to you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How can your prices be 30–50% lower than legacy brands?
t’s simple: No Distributor Tax. Legacy manufacturers sell through middlemen who add 30-40% markups to cover their commissions. We sell factory-direct. You get the same industrial-grade stainless steel and heavy-duty motors, but you keep the profit that used to go to a salesperson.
Am I locked into buying proprietary replacement parts from you?
Absolutely not. We hate "proprietary jail." We build our systems using standard industrial components (motors, bearings, valves, sensors) that you can source from local suppliers like Grainger. We give you the specs so you have total control over your maintenance costs.
What materials do you use to prevent corrosion?
We exclusively use heavy-gauge 304 stainless steel for our frames and arches. Unlike cheaper systems that use galvanized steel or aluminum (which eventually rot), our equipment is engineered for maximum structural integrity and resale value.
What are your current lead times?
While the industry standard is 6–12 months, we stock heavy inventory to keep projects moving. We can typically stage and ship complete express tunnel packages in weeks, not months—helping you open sooner and start generating revenue faster.
Do you handle site design and installation?
Yes. We are partners, not just parts sellers. Our engineering team provides custom CAD site layouts to maximize flow, detailed mechanical drawings for your contractors, and on-site installation support to ensure the system is tuned perfectly.
What happens if my wash goes down on a weekend?
You get direct access to our US-based technical team—not a call center script. We can often troubleshoot issues remotely via our control systems or guide your team through a fix instantly. We know that downtime equals lost revenue, so we prioritize getting you back up.
Do you offer both Express Tunnels and In-Bay Automatics?
Yes. We offer scalable solutions for every footprint. From compact mini-tunnels (35ft–60ft) for gas stations to high-volume conveyor systems (100ft+) for investors, we configure the hardware to match your throughput goals.
Where is your equipment manufactured?
We use a hybrid engineering model. We source structural stainless steel globally to keep costs down, but we use top-tier U.S. and European components for the critical "moving parts" (motors, pumps, VFDs). Final assembly and quality control happen right here in the USA.
What kind of warranty do you offer?
We include a comprehensive 1-year warranty on all parts and tunnel equipment. Because we use industrial-grade components, failures are rare, but if something breaks, we cover it—no fine print, no hassles.
How does your system save on utility costs?
We integrate Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) on our motors and smart chemical dosing manifolds. This prevents "hard starts" (saving electricity) and ensures you never use more chemical than necessary (saving cash). It’s efficiency by design.
