Nothing beats the feel of going for a drive in a clean, shiny vehicle. When your favorite ride looks good, you feel good, knowing that you will arrive at every destination in style.
However, keeping a vehicle clean is more than vanity – it is also an important component of routine automotive maintenance. Regular washing goes a long way toward extending the lives of today’s expensive cars and trucks.
Unfortunately, many people have a hard time finding the time to keep their vehicles clean. Busy schedules override drivers’ desires to give their cars and trucks the TLC needed to keep them looking their best.
This problem is further exacerbated by the ever-increasing bulk of modern vehicles. Large SUVs and trucks are particularly challenging to wash due to their sizes.
Fortunately, there is a solution to these problems, and it is located in Hendersonville – Camel Express Car Wash.
Camel Express was founded in 2016 by CEO Read Hauck, who recognized the need for a fast, affordable and convenient car wash in the Nashville area.
“I came from a family of innovators – my dad is longtime local entrepreneur Christie Hauck, the founder of Christie Cookie Company,” says Read. “When I began exploring the possibility of opening my own business, I immediately thought of creating a high-quality car wash. After spending considerable time learning about the car wash industry, I found the right spot, and I opened the first Camel Express location in Nashville.”
Since then, Camel Express has continued to expand, and the operation now has five locations across Middle Tennessee. The company held the grand opening for its Rockland Road location in Hendersonville during February 2023. Since then, the business has become the go-to destination for premium exterior car washing.
While Camel Express is a commercial operation, it always places the needs of its customers and its employees first.
“We are a people-focused organization. The care and concern for each member of our team is genuine and heartfelt, no matter the position or time spent with us,” says Brand Director Sarah Parker-Masse. “Our core values – safe, caring and fun – drive every choice we make. Those three words represent who we are and describe the tone of our culture perfectly.”
Along with its excellent customer service, Camel Express is also committed to giving back to the community.
“We serve our community by partnering with a new nonprofit partner each quarter,” says Read. “Our goals are to deliver monetary donations as well as time and resource contributions in hopes of making lasting local impacts.”
Some of the company’s recent beneficiaries have been Grace Place Ministry, Homebound Meals, local sporting events, school fundraisers and a senior golf tournament.
“Grace Place Ministry is very special to us, and we proudly support their mission,” says Sarah. “We will be hosting a fun Halloween-themed Tunnel of Terror event on October 19-21 and 26-29, with all proceeds will going to Grace Place.”
