Kicking Off a New Year



As we close out the year and look ahead to 2026, we’re already preparing for a busy spring in Nashville, Tennessee. Mark your calendars for Sunday, May 10, 2026, when WCA will host both the Express Carwash Tour Nashville and the Self-Serve / IBA Carwash Tour Nashville—a full day of site visits and operational insight, just ahead of The Car Wash Show, also taking place in Nashville May 11–13, 2026.


These tours offer a firsthand look at how other operators are running their locations, from equipment and layouts to staffing and workflow. If you’re heading to Nashville in May, this is a smart way to start the week.


Wishing you a safe holiday season and a successful year ahead.
