55 years ago, the late Charles (Charlie) Howard had a vision: to revolutionize the car wash industry by providing a high-quality experience centered on the customer. He understood that by delivering exceptional value, customers would keep coming back. Today, we proudly announce that Charlie's vision has thrived for an outstanding 55 years. Our commitment to providing top-notch service remains unwavering, ensuring each customer leaves with a clean car. We’re proud of the history we’ve made to make this family-owned car wash a success.

But Charlie's vision extended beyond the car wash bay. He believed in what he called a "community conscience." That's why Autobell is dedicated to environmental conservation by treating and recycling up to 100% of our wash water through modern technology. We're proud to be recognized for our environmental efforts, giving back to the community, and for helping to support our people through our scholarship program.

“Autobell® didn't just stick around; it's done really well. We've got 3,000+ great workers washing almost five million cars a year. And we're the biggest family-owned car wash in America. We do what works, learn from our mistakes, and keep growing." - Charles (Chuck) Howard II

As we celebrate 55 years of success, we extend our gratitude to our loyal customers, dedicated team members, and the communities we serve. Here's to many more years of shining cars from the inside, out.
