Splash Car Wash Coming To East Haven; Construction Has Begun

EAST HAVEN, CT — A new express car wash with a 125-foot wash tunnel and 20 self-service vacuums is coming to East Haven.

Construction has begun on East Haven's Splash Car Wash, which will be located at 201 Saltonstall Parkway, New Haven Biz reported. It will be a largely self-service center with automated pay machines and a small crew of employees, according to New Haven Biz.

The vacuums will be free for Splash customers to use, officials said in a news release.

Construction on the East Haven site, which will have the company's 25th wash tunnel, is being overseen by Glen Sheeley, Splash's director of development and construction.

"We're excited to bring the Splash/Wash Co. Express concept to the East Haven market," Sheeley said. "Our last two conversions and recent acquisitions have been express washes, and we look to add several more in the near future."

Splash Car Wash is a Milford-based company that operates dozens of locations in Connecticut, New York and Vermont, the news release said.

The company began in 1981 with a single location in Greenwich, and has since developed over 35 locations, the news release said. Many of them include detailing operations, six provide oil changes and one has a laundromat.

"We're excited by this new addition which will allow us to better serve the greater New Haven area.," Splash CEO Mark Curtis said.
