Mint Car Wash, a Savannah-based exterior express car wash company, has announced plans to build a third location in the greater Savannah area. Earlier this year, Mint hosted a grand opening event for its second location (4747 E. U.S. Hwy. 80) benefiting Coastal Pet Rescue. The original Mint Car Wash opened at 10000 Abercorn Street in July 2018.
Mint’s newest car wash will be an impressive 4,500 square ft. building and 23 vacuum parking spaces on a 1.2-acre lot located at 302 Commercial Dr. The owners have chosen local commercial construction firm the Dewitt Tilton Group for the project, and the group expects to complete the car wash in the fall.
Mint Car Wash is a drive-through experience offering exciting features like its state-of-the-art car wash tunnel and fully outfitted self-service vacuum area complete with various cleaners and air detailing tools. For those who enjoy a clean car, Mint offers its exclusive Unlimited Wash Club that allows members to wash their vehicle every day for one monthly price. Memberships work at all Savannah Mint Car Wash locations. Mint’s top wash package, the Full Minty, includes 21 separate cleaners, sealers and waxes designed to clean, shine and protect vehicle finishes.
One unique characteristic of the build is the foundational slab. Given the unique needs of the car wash, the slab will be thicker than that of a retail space or restaurant. And as is standard for car wash foundations, trenches and drains must also be built into the slab to accommodate the hoses and water run-off.
Priding themselves on providing outstanding commercial construction services in Coastal Georgia and the Lowcountry, Tilton affirms that his team at the Dewitt Tilton Group are always finding innovative solutions for the most complex commercial construction challenges.
