OhmCo and CarWashApp.com Join Forces to Supercharge Car Wash Memberships

Neenah, WI – June 16, 2025

OhmCo, the design-focused digital marketing agency for the car wash industry, is proud to announce a new strategic partnership with CarWashApp.com, a brandable, progressive web app built to help car washes of all types and sizes run their memberships, promotions, and online sales—simply and affordably. This partnership brings together OhmCo’s powerful digital marketing tools—including Web.Lab, Co.Lab, and Data.Lab—with CarWashApp’s sleek and scalable customer engagement platform. Together, the two companies make it easier than ever for car wash operators to fully brand, launch, grow, and retain profitable membership programs—without the hassle of juggling multiple systems or vendors.

“We’re thrilled to work with CarWashApp.com,” said Mel Ohlinger, Founder and CEO of OhmCo. “Our clients want simple, effective ways to set up wash promotions to partner them with current events and holidays to create better customer experiences and community engagement. This platform delivers exactly that—and fits seamlessly into the websites, branding, and marketing campaigns we already build for car washes nationwide.”


CarWashApp.com is the only car wash app with a capped monthly fee, so operators can scale their business without sacrificing a growing percentage of revenue. The app integrates with most tunnel controllers, in-bay automatics, self-serve bays, vacuums, and dog wash stations—empowering customers to sign up in seconds, manage their accounts, and refer friends with ease.

Paired with OhmCo’s Web.Lab platform (for high-performance car wash websites), Co.Lab (for social media and content scheduling), and Data.Lab (for marketing automation and analytics), this integration creates a full-service solution that allows even the smallest operators to compete with national chains. Operators can launch a fully branded app experience—including referral programs, promotional campaigns, and online memberships—in as little as 7–10 days with this powerful combination of carwash technology and teams.

Their suite of services includes web development (Web.Lab), social media management (Co.Lab), digital marketing (Data.Lab), branding, design, and automation tools—all tailored to help car washes grow revenue and build loyal customer bases.

Last week, Mel and I had the chance to attend the Heartland Car Wash Show in Council Bluffs, Iowa—a regional event that’s trying to find its footing again after a few bumpy years. If you’ve never been, the Heartland Show has historically drawn together car wash professionals from across the Midwest, but this year’s event came with some caveats. While it wasn’t the most polished affair we’ve attended, we walked away with the impression that there’s real potential for this show to evolve into something meaningful. That is, if the organizers can push through the growing pains.

Carwash Myths & Hollywood Hype: The First Automatic Car Wash Was NOT in California
By Mel Ohlinger April 21, 2025
For a long time, a certain story has drifted through the car wash world like a sudsy ghost. You’ll hear it in conventions, on websites and blogs, whispered reverently by folks who swear their uncle told them about it once: that the first automatic car wash opened in Hollywood, California in the 1940s. That it used a winch system to pull cars through a tunnel while attendants handled the scrub-down and drying. That it wasn't a FULLY automatic carwash, but it had the first automatic component - a winch and pully system to bring cars through a tunnel. Some claim it even used a tractor or a team of horses to automate the chain system.

By Tony Gaipa April 2, 2025
The car wash industry has seen tremendous growth in recent years, yet when it comes to insurance, it remains one of the most underserved sectors. Historically, car wash owners and operators have been left with generic, boilerplate policies that fail to address the unique risks they face. That’s where we come in.
