El Car Wash: Expands into Palmetto Bay & Pinecrest, FL
/El Car Wash, founded by two Miami natives, Justin Landau & Geoff Karas, in 2010, has recently experienced a surge of growth and innovation thanks to new private equity partners. This classic story of reinvention and capital infusion is unfolding right in our backyard, serving as a testament to the entrepreneurial spirit thriving in Miami.

As a Miami real estate agent, I'm always interested in local businesses that enhance our communities. El Car Wash stands out as a new-age, technology-driven, and environmentally-conscious business ideally suited for today's world.
"The car wash is contactless," explains partner Justin Landau, highlighting its appeal in a post-pandemic era. "We consider ourselves a service provider that rises above all other car washes." With LED disco lights and a distinct two-story design featuring the Miami Vice color scheme, El Car Wash locations are easy to spot and offer a unique experience.
Are you relocating to Miami or simply exploring new neighborhoods? You've likely seen their new location at 14031 S Dixie Highway in Palmetto Bay, near Pinecrest. They also plan to open another location at SW 160th Street soon.
Beyond its convenient locations in Palmetto Bay and Pinecrest, FL, El Car Wash distinguishes itself with a network of locations and a generous unlimited monthly membership club. This allows you to keep your car sparkling clean at any of its sites.
With ambitious plans to expand throughout South Florida, El Car Wash is poised to become a leader in the industry. Their commitment to convenience and quality is evident in their RFID sticker membership, which allows for seamless entry and washing at any location.
By February, they plan to open their flagship location near Zoo Miami, which will be the largest car wash in South Florida. This expansion will allow them to offer even more comprehensive cleaning services.
Besides computer-driven accuracy in each wash, El Car Wash is unique in its network of car wash locations, allowing you to purchase and utilize a generous unlimited monthly membership club to keep your baby whistle-clean every day.
El Car Wash has an ambitious two-year plan to add 20-30 additional locations beyond the existing eight, running from Miami-Dade to Palm Beach Counties. Karas said, “It is our goal to be a leader in South Florida, in both location, convenience, and quality of service.” So, with your RFID sticker membership, you can drive up to any location and never even need to interact with the pay station. It’s right into the wash tunnel, conveniently saving the consumer time.
By February, Landau and Karas plan to open their flagship location adjacent to Zoo Miami. With a 150-foot wash tunnel and 40 vacuum bays, it will be the largest car wash in South Florida. “It affords us the space for even more equipment, which allows us to do an even more complete and better clean,” exclaims Landau.
Impressively, El Car Wash has gone into unprecedented giving during COVID-19. “We are giving free washes to all pandemic first responders and essential workers, which goes beyond just doctors and nurses,” Karas explains. “If you serve the community in the grocery business, with food or package delivery, policing, or any essential job that keeps the economy going, we want to celebrate and honor your work. We want to give back to the community and be known for being good citizens during these challenging times.”
That’s the kind of spirit you can get behind! You can experience El Car Wash with an individual wash or buy into the club.
