Tidal Wave Auto Spa car wash being built on Seivers Boulevard
A Georgia-based company, Tidal Wave Auto Spa, has begun construction on a nearly $3 million car wash at the corner of N. Charles G. Seivers and Doe Run boulevards in Clinton.
The company obtained a building permit from the city of Clinton on Feb. 1 for the facility, and clearing and grading of the 2.71-acre site began immediately.
Anderson County property records show that TWAS Properties, LLC, of Thomaston, Georgia, bought the vacant lot last Nov. 14 for $1.75 million.
Phone messages left with the company seeking more information about the Clinton car wash, including an expected opening date, were not immediately returned as of Monday.
The location is on the north side of Seivers Boulevard between Arby’s and City Limit Motors, near Interstate 75 Exit 122. The Tennessee Department of Transportation has a new traffic light under construction at that intersection.
According to its website (tidalwaveautospa.com), Tidal Wave Auto Spa is “one of the fastest-growing express car wash companies in the country,” and on Feb. 1 announced the opening of its 144th car wash location, in Hartselle, Alabama.
The website also shows that two Tennessee locations have opened so far this year – one in Cookeville on Jan. 10 and another in Pulaski on Jan. 26.
Tidal Wave Auto Spa was founded in 1999 by Scott and Hope Blackstock in Thomaston, the website also notes, adding:
“[Tidal Wave] is committed to providing every customer with an exceptional car wash experience with clean and attractive locations, the highest-quality car washes, and friendly customer service at every location.
“[Scott] Blackstock’s background in chemical engineering has paved the way for Tidal Wave to be an industry leader in developing innovative car wash technology. In 2022, the company launched Graph-X4 as [its] premium wash option across all locations – combining the strength of graphene oxide and ceramic sea gloss coating for the ultimate shine and four layers of iron-clad protection.”
The company says it “offers single-wash options and unlimited wash memberships to fit any budget.”
“Customers planning to wash more than once a month can save money by joining any of Tidal Wave’s Clean Club unlimited wash membership options,” the website says. “Wash every day of the month for one convenient monthly payment and save time with exclusive club member wash lanes – plus, memberships can be used at any Tidal Wave location.”
The company also offers discounted membership plan options for families and fleet plans for businesses needing to wash multiple vehicles.
