About Us
About Car Pool Car Wash, a locally owned and operated business
Your neighborhood car wash since 1977
We’ve been keeping Richmond’s cars clean and shiny since 1977! What started as one car wash on Chamberlayne Avenue has grown into Richmond’s favorite local car wash family.
For over 45 years, we’ve focused on one simple thing: giving your car the best care possible. We began with just one location, and as more neighbors trusted us with their cars, we grew. Today, we’re proud to serve you at five locations across Richmond.
In November 2024, two longtime members of our Car Pool family became the new owners. Tyree Brown started in the industry in an entry-level position and worked his way up to COO at Car Pool. Mark Harrison joined us 10 years ago as CFO and quickly became part of our family. Both have a deep love for cars, service, and making customers smile.
What makes us different? We believe in hands-on service. While many car washes are going fully automatic, we’re sticking to what we do best – giving your car the personal attention it deserves. Our new owners are committed to keeping this tradition alive.
We’re proud to be locally owned and operated. When you choose Car Pool Car Wash, you’re supporting your Richmond neighbors and getting the best car wash in town. We focus on three simple things:
- Treating you with genuine courtesy
- Delivering top-quality service
- Offering honest value
After all these years, we’re still Richmond’s most-awarded car wash. But what matters most to us is seeing you drive away happy in your clean car. That’s been our goal since 1977, and that’s never going to change.
Come visit us and see why your neighbors and friends have trusted us with their cars for over four decades!
Our People Make Us Special
Want to know what else makes us different? It’s our people! Many of our team members have been with us for over 20 years. Our store managers stick around too – most have been with us for about 10 years. When you come to Car Pool, you’re not just getting a car wash. You’re getting help from people who really know their stuff and care about doing it right.
