Express tunnel wash · Open daily 7:30am to 7:30pm

Set your course for a clean car.

Marina Express Car Wash is the locally owned express tunnel on W Benjamin Holt Dr, right next to the Arco. Washes from $14, and the Unlimited Club from $22.99 a month.

The wash menu

Three washes. Each one carries the one below it.

Every package rides on the Express wash and adds its own steps on top, twelve in all by the time you reach the Ultimate. Pay per visit, or put any of them on the Unlimited Club and come back as often as you like.

On the lot

Fresh off the conveyor on Benjamin Holt Drive.

From the tunnel exit to the lot by the Arco, a pass along the line on a normal day.

Tunnel exit

Out of the dryers, onto Benjamin Holt.

The tunnel runs pre-soak to spot free rinse to dry in one pass, with the blue brushes and dryers right there behind the exit sign.

Ultimate finish

Black paint, no streaks.

Black cars show everything. The spot free rinse is why the wash doesn't need towels, and why dark paint comes out clean instead of hazy.

Full size

Pickups welcome.

Full-size pickups ride the conveyor like everything else. Big vans and duallies are the one thing the tunnel can't take.

My black car looked amazing after being washed here! I don't take my car through the car wash due to the color.. but after talking to the owner I was assured that my car would sparkle and it does.. see for yourself!

“Always a great experience here at this car wash (and gas station)…today the employees were exceptional and Nathan especially was very hard working and showed he truly cared to make sure our vehicles were well taken care of.”

“Today I decided I needed a car wash and thought, "Damn, I wish I was closer to that car wash" (I live 45min away). Good enough job to leave a lasting impression!”

Members ask

Plates, billing, and why there are no towels.

Anything else, ask an attendant at the wash or call (209) 478-5552.

You can sign up for the Unlimited Club online or at the wash at 2908 W Benjamin Holt Dr. A license plate reader at the entrance recognizes members, so there is nothing to scan once you are in.

You are billed on the anniversary date of the day you signed up, every month.

Change your license plate information online under manage membership, or talk to an employee at the wash and they will update it for you.

You can cancel your membership online or at the wash. Once you cancel, you are no longer billed for it.

The tunnel finishes with a spot free rinse and dryers that should leave your car dry. Towels have been shown to leave scratches and streaks, so the wash is set up to do without them.

Yes. First responders, active military and veterans get 10% off any wash at Marina Express. Stop by and speak to an attendant for your code.
