USA: Autobell opens new carwash in Johns Island

The carwash chain will offer free interior disinfecting service to help slow the spread of COVID-19.

The new Autobell carwash site opens in Johns Island, South Carolina, will hold their grand opening unlike any other store in the company's 51-year history – during a global pandemic.

The company's leadership feels it's a vital move given their response to COVID-19, shifting focus from primarily car washing, to providing a hospital-grade, EPA-registered vehicle interior disinfectant service to help flatten the coronavirus curve.

While finalizing construction on the new facility on Johns Island, Autobell was busy bringing their new interior disinfectant service to their locations throughout the southeast. Since the service was activated in mid-March, they have provided disinfectant to more than 230,000 vehicles.

"This location is an important addition to the Charleston-area because our service is one way to stay vigilant in slowing the spread of COVID-19 by using a disinfectant on your car's interior," said Carl Howard, COO of Autobell Car Wash, Inc. "This is a crucial time in our country, and businesses like Autobell® have to step up to win the fight against this terrible virus."

 Autobell Car Wash is America's fifth-largest car wash company with 87 locations.
