On The Spot to Open New State-of-the-Art Car Wash Facility

HUNTSVILLE, AL – Getting your car cleaned has never been this sweet, or even this luxurious.

On Thursday, February 16, Huntsville’s On The Spot will host a grand opening for its first ever one of a kind facility, bringing a brand new business model to North Alabama.

The festivities start at 1:00pm and will include a ribbon cutting ceremony, a live band, catering, and giveaways. The new facility will be located at 6555 University Drive NW, Huntsville, AL. 

On The Spot has invested $7 million into this new business model that features an assembly-style conveyor belt running over 220 feet in length. 

At this location, On the Spot will boast the world’s longest full-service car wash. It will also have a detail center equipped with two dry bays for tint and paint correction, three detailing bays, and one hand wash bay.

On The Spot’s new facility will have a variety of different amenities while you wait, including a 40ft wraparound bar and 20 large 4k televisions.

“Over the past two years we have toured domestically and internationally at any car wash claiming to be the best. I’m building this to be the Taj Mahal of car washes,” said owner Nathan Sharp.

This facility was a plan seven years in the making. Mr. Sharp saw a need in the market for a full-service car wash that provides a total clean for customers so they do not have to do any work themselves, while still upholding his philosophy that “no spot goes untouched.” 

The result of this innovative business model is a state-of-the-art car wash with a strong focus on the customer experience.

For customers, there will be a 40ft wraparound bar that will serve snacks and beverages. There will also be a Spot-on self-serve station for all customers, featuring fair trade coffee, organic sodas, and snacks. Available to members only will be complimentary beer and wine and a cigar lounge, where they can view the final stages of our assembly-line process.

To enhance the experience, the customer waiting areas will include a 700-gallon saltwater aquarium and over 20 large 4k televisions.

At this new location, On The Spot anticipates washing over 300 vehicles with hand-wash quality in a single day. Some of the processes the company has been doing by hand at other locations will be done more quickly by machine, but the quality will be the same since we will be using all-foam wash material. 

“The foam wash equipment is a first-of-its-kind in the United States. It will allow us to wash cars at speed, around three to four minutes per car, while still providing a gentle touch experience,” said Sharp.

The wash time will be reduced from 45 minutes for a hand wash to 8-15 minutes for this full-service, partially automated experience.
