What is a car wash membership?
A car wash membership is a simple plan that lets you wash your vehicle on a predictable schedule. Most memberships work on monthly billing and allow drivers to stop by whenever it fits their routine.
A Tidal Wave Clean Club® membership includes:
- A consistent monthly cost
- One vehicle per membership
- Flexible visits during operating hours
- Simple account updates
- Quick entry at all participating locations
It is designed to give you steady access to the wash level you choose and to make regular car care easy to maintain.
How car wash memberships work
A car wash membership renews each month automatically and gives you access to the wash during regular operating hours. There is no need to pay at the kiosk at each visit, which helps keep every stop quick and simple. Your membership also supports a steady cleaning routine since you can wash your vehicle whenever it fits your day.
Members can make changes at any time. You can update your wash level, manage your account, or adjust your vehicle information whenever needed. If you want to review what each wash level includes, you can explore our car wash services for more details.

How to choose the right membership for your needs
Think about how often you want your vehicle to look clean. Weather, commuting routes, and how much you drive all influence how frequently you may want to wash your car. From there, choose the wash level that fits your goals and the type of shine or protection you prefer.
Tidal Wave offers several ways to build your membership:
- Monthly Billing: The standard Clean Club® option renews automatically each month and gives you steady access to the wash level you choose.
- Annual Plan: This plan allows you to pay once for the entire year. It includes 12 months for the price of 10, which makes it a great choice if you prefer paying up front or want to save on your total yearly cost.
- Family Plan: You can add an additional vehicle to your membership and receive five dollars off per month for each added vehicle. This option works well for households with more than one car.
Choosing the right plan simply depends on your routine, your budget, and how you prefer to manage regular car care.
How a membership helps keep your car-care routine simple
