Tommy’s Express Car Wash Nears Completion on Liberia Avenue
Don’t worry about spring pollen or avoiding that muddy puddle – Tommy’s Express Car Wash will soon have you covered.
Tommy’s Express is currently constructing a 5,000 square foot, state-of-the-art car wash facility at 9850 Liberia Avenue. The new build is part of a larger national expansion for the Tommy’s Express brand that first started in Holland, Michigan, and is making Manassas the first of 20 coming soon to the metro DC area. The new building, an expected investment of around $6 million, will feature the signature ‘Totally Tommy’ design with dual towers, multiple pay lanes, curved rooflines, and stainless-steel arches. The car wash will also deploy the most cutting-edge phone app technology in the industry as well as license plate reading technology not seen anywhere else in the region.
