Quick Quack Car Wash
Award-winning Car Wash Chain to Hold Special Fundraiser on October 9 and Free Washes from October 11 through October 20
Whether it is from a nice, clean car or a successful fundraiser for a good cause, we get extreme satisfaction from putting smiles on people’s faces.”
— Dallas Hakes, Owner and Regional Development Partner
AMERICAN FORK, UTAH, USA, October 3, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Quick Quack Car Wash, a growing chain of regional car washes, is giving away free car washes for ten days to celebrate opening the doors on a new exterior-only, express car wash serving American Fork and the surrounding areas. The free car wash days begin on October 11th and run through October 20th and are only available at the new location. Quick Quack Car Wash is open every day from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.
The new location at 352 N. West State Road in American Fork is the seventh Quick Quack Car Wash to open in Utah in little more than one year. An additional location in Saratoga Springs is already under construction and others in North Orem, Provo, West Jordan, South Jordan, and Centerville will break ground soon.
In conjunction with the Grand Opening, Quick Quack will also hold a special “Preview” Fundraiser on Monday, October 9th from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. to benefit Challae Hansen, who lost her husband in a tragic accident just a few short years after the death of their newborn son. Cars will be washed for free during the fundraiser and Quick Quack will be matching donations from customers.
“Whether it is from a nice, clean car or a successful fundraiser for a good cause, we get extreme satisfaction from putting smiles on people’s faces,” said Dallas Hakes, Owner and Regional Development Partner for Quick Quack Car Wash. “We are ready to show American Fork how we can make a real difference to our teams, customers and communities.”
Quick Quack Car Wash frequently sponsors local events and athletic programs, including facilitating and contributing to community groups’ fundraising efforts. Quick Quack is regularly named the favorite or best car wash in the areas where it operates and has been recognized for sustainable business practices and water conservation.
Aside from a big yellow duck named Quackals, Quick Quack Car Wash is best known for its free vacuums and unlimited, “wash-all-you-want” car wash memberships starting at only $18.99 per month.
About Quick Quack Car Wash
Quick Quack Car Wash has thirty-eight locations in Utah, California, Texas, and Colorado.

Fully automated and computerized, the high-quality and environmentally-friendly car washing system uses neoprene foam, soft cloth and filtered, recycled water. The customer stays in their vehicle while being automatically guided through the car wash where the vehicle is soaked, soaped, washed, polished, rinsed with spot-free water, and dried, all in a matter of minutes.
