WASH SPOTT will Feature Car Wash Innovations

“We expect to be able to do a basic wash for about 100 cars in an hour,” according to Matt Reinhardt, owner of the WASH SPOTT, who added that his new car wash operation at 1200 East Olive in Lamar will use less water than an average household in a day.
The WASH SPOTT should open in November if all the construction goes as planned said Reinhardt recently, at site of his business venture. Part of the west wall was being pounded out by workers, while his wife, Shea, was sanding down the remaining portion of the dance floor of what was the HOT SPOTTE which was purchased by the couple late last year. “We’ve saved as much of the wood floor as we could and it’ll be used for the soda fountain and ice cream bar for our operation,” Reinhardt explained. A 100 foot long north to south wall will divide the car wash from the entertainment area. Patrons can exit their car for a treat while their vehicle is sent through the wash area by conveyer belt and the staff will put optional finishing touches on the vehicle. “We can take most stock built vehicles,” Matthew said, but high profile vehicles such as semis won’t be able to use the facility.
“We took over the place in January and almost the next day we had a major water line break, so our first job was all clean-up,” he said. Reinhardt has been in contact with other East Olive businesses such as the Home Store and the new veterinarian clinic across the street, owned by Jensen Stulp which is undergoing a complete makeover before opening for business. “We’ve all made a financial commitment to expanding the economic development of this portion of the street and we hope to see that continue,” he explained. Reinhardt said he worked in similar operations as a youth from the Alamosa area and be believes this innovation for a car wash will catch on, coupled with the professional service he intends to deliver to his customers.
Along with a light show that accompanies the car wash, patrons can select to have their vehicle hand-toweled dry, vacuumed and have the interior shined while they wait in the lounge area. Appointments can be made for a complete detailing while a customer waits in the entertainment area. The WASH SPOTT will be open six days a week and will employ from five to six new jobs in the area. The business listing is also on face book through their website.
