Splash Car Wash was founded by Mark Curtis and Chris Fisher with the opening of their first hand wash -- Splash, Greenwich. Both lifelong Greenwich, CT residents Curtis and Fisher cast aside their business suits and ties to immerse themselves in suds and water with the purchase of Greenwich Car Wash in 1981. Eventually renamed Splash Car Wash in 1994, to mark a totally innovative concept developed by Curtis and Fisher for washing cars on conveyor by hand in a tunnel, overwhelming response to their new hand wash became the catalyst for phenomenal growth at Splash. Here’s how it works: 1) Register your credit/debit card(s) in the app. 2) Wash as usual. 3) We’ll buzz your phone when you earn a reward. No need to fish your phone out, check-in, or scan anything. Just pay as usual. 4) Rewards show up on your phone for you to use. It’s like magic!
