New Waterway Express Car Wash - St Louis (South Kingshighway)

Remember the BP on South Kingshighway? ( • PDQ Laserwash G5-S Car... ) Even though the place seemed to be fairly busy and in decent shape, it was knocked down last year and a huge Waterway facility went up in its place. They absolutely knocked it out of the park in my opinion. The facility is beautiful and has capacity for TONS of cars with a double tunnel setup. Andrew, Jason, and I stopped by to check it out.

These are the kind of youtube videos I love. No agenda, no politics, just a guy enjoying what he finds interesting.

The waterway wash in Chicagoland are nothing like these, this is nice!

i freakin love this channel. This one in particular is cool as it feels like a fun day out for a wash.

[@CarwashReviewsFlorida]

That's awesome!! Looks very modern!

[@geezermann7865]

Hi guys, Hi Jason. Thanks for showing the "before" part from 2014. I haven't been to The Hill area in years. Nice vid.

[@ryanthenascarguy4871]

I found that this car wash uses my favorite chemicals! Simoniz! Plus, they have ceramic now too!

[@ChilesRussellTaylor]

I remember the old BP device service station before it was out of business. So now, WOW. NEW WATERWAY EXPRESS CAR WASH!

[@CityWalks]

Love getting a chance to see parts of St. Louis. Elevators and car washes aren't usually my thing but still watched for a long time :-) -Henry

[@zackerysmith438]

Look at this car wash. That looks awesome. The lights were so cool. At the end of the car wash, It dried the car off. The car looked good on the video.

[@carselevators930]

Very Nice wash indeed and I'm surprised that the PDQ Laserwash G5 is gone

[@user-sr5tl7vu2z]

yea it kind of sucks :(

[@mackpines]

One of the most modern car washes I've seen. The future is here!

[@shellyp9141]

This is a really cool wash! I’ve never seen a double tunnel system. I wish they had one by me.

[@UtahCarWashChannel]

That’s one amazing wash. They made a smart choice for installing two tunnels instead of one. That should help with increased customer volume and it looks really nice. But anyways nice video!

[@cgluigiyt]

That’s a cool setup. Sonny’s & Tommy’s equipment. Sonny’s dryers, wraps, there new counterweight top brush that rotates the opposite direction at the middle of the car, and 2 AVW/ Tommy’s mitters. The side dryers are Sonny’s new mammoth dryers.

[@thecarwashelevatorfanatic7433]

Chris Graddy Some of the Other Wraps in the Tunnel are also AVW.

[@ReviewsByVince]

Great video! Even though you didn't do a before or after view of the outside, I'm sure that wash would do a great job cleaning. Very nice equipment! I only hope they can stay busy enough to keep both sides going. Has a great visual and with winter right around the corner, the timing is perfect for their opening :)

[@adios486]

Finally new car wash video!

[@ericsturniolo]

Wow! That’s impressive. Never seen anything like it

[@MAR_24LookedAtYourVid]

Hi ems318

[@BritishAPT]

You need to rearrange it to the top of your car wash playlist.

[@gladfan1989]

That setup is most unique. Never seen a dual tunnel before. Looks like it did a terrific job.

[@IsaiahSigur]

thanks for sharing jacob

[@kylestyer8240]

Wow, nice double tunnel. Saw them in Denver, thought they were cool too.

[@inactivechannel7029]

This is a Sonny's/AVW tunnel. It has Premier dryers. This is an awesome wash! And an awesome video as well! ;)

[@thecarwashelevatorfanatic7433]

Those are Sonny’s dryers.

[@inactivechannel7029]

The Car Wash /Elevator Fanatic oh yeah lol, sorry didn't know that back then.

[@CrestwoodRocks]

This is totally a State Of The Art Car Wash

[@patrickrichmond9896]

I saw this one time when I was headed to I think either Starbucks or Bloom Cafe. Right were Sonic is at now was a Waterway and it was one of the first ride-thru tunnel carwashes St. Louis had. When I was in my teens, both my mother and father took the gold Plymouth wagon over to that wash at Kirkwood Road and Big Bend to get the car washed. But I think the vacuum collection bin at one time needed to be emptied.

[@21xd09]

This has to be the coolest car wash tunnel I seen! Two tunnels as well!!! Very nice!!!!

[@ohiocarwashes9154]

Very nice

[@TomO-ty2iy]

I live in the St. Louis area as well. A new one that you may want to visit is Zip's Car Wash. They recently bought out the Rain Tunnel Express Locations in the St. Louis area that had washes on both the Missouri and Illinois side, which all of the Missouri locations are in the South County area. I remember seeing one of your videos in the past of the Granite City Rain Tunnel Express Location.

[@lojosol]

Zips is super expensive around here, $20 for their top wash

[@inactivechannel7029]

lojosol Ngl that's an average price for a top tier tunnel wash.

[@goodeentertainment2414]

Sonny's tunnels are very common in Albuquerque. There's also one NS tunnel that I filmed. Literally every tunnel in Albuquerque except for one is Sonny's!

[@gradymcclintock3766]

You should film the other tunnel

[@pinchy08]

This is an amazing setup. 2 tunnel car wash systems. We have a new car wash with this tunnel design. Haven’t tried it yet. Especially with a duel conveyor belt.

[@user-fg5tw6zh8t]

I have just watched both videos, which is better Tidelwave or Waterway??

[@RyanHolliday211]

Two of my favourite KZbin channels in one, and an amazing brand new car wash. I wish I could give more than one like to this video.

[@justin_wayne_elrod_jrod]

I'm still disappointed that they tore down that gas station with the laserwash g5 but this is cool to double tunnel setup

[@jesperPLZ]

Here in europe (especially Germany and the Netherlands, we’ve got quite a few sites with two parralel tunnels. Funny to see that in the USA this is considered “interesting”

[@soslytherchic92]

You should review the new Zips Car wash on Page in Overland

[@ryantossell6694]

It's got a very high ceiling in this new Waterway Express Car Wash.

[@bread_cat__]

0:47 a car is coming out of the right one and he said they were only running the left side tunnel

It was the left one from his POV at that spot.

AVW tunnel with sonny’s dryers?

[@thecarwashelevatorfanatic7433]

I personally think a combination of Sonny’s Equipment and AVW equipment is awesome.

[@inactivechannel7029]

The Car Wash /Elevator Fanatic It's actually Tommy.

[@thecarwashelevatorfanatic7433]

Alberta Car Wash Channel no, it’s AVW/Tommy/Sonny’s.

The only item from Tommy’s is the TV stand.

After BP permanently poisoned the Gulf of Mexico, they closed hundreds of stations where the business dropped to near zero, 3 of which were in my city.

So Waterway Car Wash now uses wrap arounds.
