This empty lot might not look like much right now, but the former site of Pitstop Express Lube LLC has been bulldozed in order to make way for yet another car wash in ×ã½»ÊÓƵ.

A new competitor is moving on to Rio Grande Street, challenging Speedy Stop, Tidal Wave Auto Spa and Quick Quack Car Wash for servicing your dirty car.

Blue Wave Express Car Wash has almost 60 locations throughout South Texas, the Rio Grande Valley and Southern California. This car wash will be an automated drive-through that provides a soft-touch wash using foam and cloth strips. The company’s goal is to exceed customer’s expectations and to become the car wash destination of choice in each community that they serve.

Besides its unlimited express car wash and family plans, the car wash is also offering to customers peace of mind, caring for both vehicles and the environment. By conserving water and energy and using soft, eco-friendly water, Blue Wave Express Car Wash aims to remain environmentally conscious.

The car wash offers four different washes on its menu: wash and wheels, wash and shine, wax and seal and ceramic shield. Included with every car wash are vacuums, high pressure air nozzles, windshield washer fluid, mat cleaning racks, towel exchange and window cleaner.
