A new option for washing cars just opened in Blaine.
Roadrunner Express Car Wash celebrated its grand opening on May 22 at 825 Grant Ave, bringing multiple wash packages that are available both as single purchases and monthly unlimited deals.
The services include a “good” wash for $12 for a single wash or $25 for a month of unlimited washes, a “better” wash for $15 or $33 monthly unlimited that also includes an undercarriage blast and smooth finish, and a “best” wash for $19 or $39 monthly unlimited that adds on a tire shine, ceramic seal and surface shine. Each wash includes a free vacuum, and a Rain-X Graphene Diamond Finish is available as an add-on.
Co-owner Wayne Sharp said he and the other owner, Jeff Miller, decided to open the business because they saw an opportunity to provide a car wash to the underserviced area.
The car wash stands out from other car washes because it uses advanced technology that, in part, allows it to reclaim about 70 percent of its water. It also uses nontoxic cleaning products that Sharp said are environmentally safe.
“We’re always looking to improve. We’re not restricted to the boilerplate franchise package,” Sharp said. “If we can improve something, we want to do it so we can give a better experience.”
The car wash is the second for the company, following its first location, Chain Lake Express Wash, in Monroe.
Sharp and Miller have building and development backgrounds that expand past the car wash industry. Miller said he sees the Blaine car wash as a jumping off point for more Blaine and Whatcom County development, including for residential buildings and hotels.
The Blaine location is open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. seven days per week, though those hours are subject to change seasonally. The car wash is located between the Taco Bell and the upcoming Blaine Family Medicine clinic.
“It was great to see the enthusiasm,” Miller said of the grand opening. “I think that’s a great sign that things are off to a great start.”
