As temperatures drop, road crews across Fredericksburg start salting for ice — and while that keeps roads safe, it’s rough on your car. Salt and de-icing chemicals cling to your undercarriage, wheel wells, and paint, where they can slowly cause corrosion if they’re not rinsed off regularly.
The fix is simple: wash more often through the winter months, not less. Every visit to @ The Car Wash includes a dedicated under-carriage rinse and a tire & wheel cleaner cycle, specifically designed to flush out the grit and salt that build up underneath your vehicle where you can’t see it. Add a spot-free rinse to keep water spots off your paint, and you’ve got real winter protection in under 10 minutes.
Since we’re open 24/7 with both self-serve bays and an in-bay automatic, there’s no bad time to swing by — before work, after a snowstorm, or at midnight if that’s when you’re free. And with an Unlimited Wash membership starting at $19.95/month, washing weekly through the winter costs less than a couple of drive-through washes elsewhere.
Find us at 3110 Spotsylvania Mall Drive in Fredericksburg, right next to Costco. Stay ahead of the salt this year — your car (and its resale value) will thank you.
