ProntoWash will begin operating on campus Oct. 25.
Sharp-eyed motorists coming in and out of the Gold and Red garages at Modesto A. Maidique Campus may have noticed that the car wash service that had been there the last few months recently went MIA.
Not to worry, though – FIU Business Services already has lined up a new vendor. The eco-friendly ProntoWash will arrive on campus beginning Monday, Oct. 25, with convenient introductory prices.
One of the global leaders in the car-wash industry, ProntoWash sets itself apart by utilizing technology and techniques that enable it to wash a car with less than 16 ounces of water and biodegradable cleaning solutions.
The new vendor will offer introductory prices to the blue-and-gold family, with a ProntoWash exterior wash beginning at $13.
Interior-and-exterior washes will be $17, while a deluxe (which includes maintenance wax) will cost $30. These prices are good through Nov. 8. Additional charges for SUVs, trucks and vans depending on the service apply.
For more information or to make an appointment, contact 305-702-0413 or prontowash.dh@gmail.com.
How is it possible that you can clean a car with 16 ounces of water, when a human bladder holds about that much urine?
Ew! I don't need to think about that!
Seriously, I looked at their site: They spritz the cars instead of having a hose running all over/around/under/near them.
This is a really great concept that will assist FIU in doing what it can to support the environment.
If you look at company's website, they explain how they can accomplish this.
This is an international company that has won several conservation awards. This venture is a pilot to see if university will stand behind green initiatives. If it does not do well, we go back to a regular carwash without this concept. This is the only company out there that does this. They have great prices in order for you to try then out, then you can choose. This is a very detailed hand carwash. We should give this a try. It is not easy to get these kind Of businesses on campus. Also, reminder that any business that is ran by Business Services provides money back to university. That is their function. We should give these guys a try/chance and really what an awesome university we have that tríes to provide us all these neat services. I believe we aré the only university with a spa, salón, carwash, gamestop etc.
