Tunnel car washes have come a long way from the dimly lit, claustrophobic car washes that left you feeling grimier than when you drove in. Cobblestone’s tunnel wash is sleek, fast, and fun — a combination of advanced technology, sensory excitement, and top-tier service. We’ve turned what was once a mundane chore into a mini escape, so it’s something you can actually look forward to.

A Cobblestone tunnel wash is more than just a quick rinse — it’s an exceptional wash with a dash of magic. Soak up the details below!

What Makes Our Tunnel Wash So Effective?

Behind the scenes, our tunnel wash is a carefully coordinated system. Every step of the process is engineered for maximum efficiency and clean.

• The Pre-Soak: It’s not just water. It’s a specially formulated blend of chemicals that loosens dirt, bugs, and grime before you even get to the main wash.
• Precision Timing: Our advanced sensors detect your car and activate each step of the wash in just the right order to maximize its cleaning power.
• Advanced Technology: Behind the bubbles is some serious equipment. High-pressure water jets, foam brushes, and chemical applicators work together to coat your car from bumper to bumper, leaving it sparkling clean.
• Quality Products: We use premium formulas that are harsh on dirt but gentle on your car’s finish.
• Fast and Convenient: You’ll get a thorough, satisfying clean in just minutes. And with many locations to choose from, there’s bound to be a Cobblestone near you.
• Express and Full Service Options: Our express service is a quick and convenient exterior wash, perfect for an instant refresh and sense of accomplishment. Just drive through and drive off! But if your interior needs some love too, opt for the full service wash (available at select Arizona locations). Our well-oiled team doesn’t miss a thing, giving your car the royal treatment inside and out. Fast, efficient, and thorough!

It’s Not Just a Wash, It’s an Experience

What sets Cobblestone apart?

• Lights, Color, Action: From the big entrance arch to the final rinse, going through the tunnel is an unexpectedly soothing experience that feels more like a spa treatment than a car wash. The LED light show, bright colors, and swish swish of our signature foam create a 360° sensory experience — one your kids will look up from their screens to watch! And while you’re sitting back and enjoying the show, your car is soaking up all the suds for a top-to-bottom clean.
• A Welcoming Environment: From our bright, clean tunnels to our spacious, well-lit vacuum bays, everything is designed to feel open, inviting, and safe.
• Friendly Faces: Whether you’re just stopping by for a quick wash or opting for the full service treatment, our friendly team members are always there to help you choose the right wash, answer your questions, and guide you into the tunnel with clear directions. You never have to stress about what to do or where to go.
• A Moment to Pause: Our wash is designed to give you a respite from your busy day. You drive off feeling like you accomplished something and can check an item off your to-do list.
• An Outing, Not an Errand: When the kids are restless at home, a trip to Cobblestone lets you knock off an errand while keeping them entertained. Or, if you have a little downtime, you can savor a few quiet minutes to yourself. Either way, it’s a win-win!
• More Than Just a Pretty Shine: Thanks to our high-quality products and thorough wash process, consistent washes at Cobblestone can extend the life of your car. And with our unlimited wash membership plans, you can visit as often as you like!
• It’s the Little Things: Small details are a big deal to us, like making sure our towels are damp because that makes them more absorbent, more efficient for drying, and gentler on your car’s paint. Select locations also offer compressed air to help clear debris that gets into hard-to-reach spots, like leaves and twigs that collect on the windshield or dust and crumbs that can build up inside.
• Freebies!: From vacuums and dash wipes to microfiber towels and more, a host of free amenities is always available for your convenience.

Clean Car, Clear Mind

It’s funny how something as simple as a clean car can lift your spirits and bring a little more order to your day. So grab your kids, your dog, or just your coffee and head to your nearest Cobblestone. We promise you’ll want to wash, rinse, and repeat!
