Pittsboro, NC – On a sunny afternoon in Pittsboro, I embarked on an adventure through Hubie’s Car Wash with co-owner Brandon Glover. As the car slowly made its way through the automatic wash, Brandon provided insights into the operations, offerings, and environmental consciousness of this family-owned business.
Behind the Scenes
At Hubie’s Car Wash, the experience begins with a friendly interaction at the pay station, where customers engage with staff like AJ, who answers common inquiries about available packages, discounts, and the car wash process. Brandon’s conversation with AJ highlights the personalized service and attention to detail that customers can expect at Hubie’s.
The Process Unveiled
As Brandon’s vehicle inches forward onto the dual belt conveyor system, the team explains the step-by-step process, ensuring customers know when to shift gears and when to expect the application of different cleaning agents. From the triple coat detergent to the soft touch wraps and spot-free rinse, every stage of the wash is designed to leave vehicles sparkling clean without causing damage.
Environmental Responsibility
One of the standout features of Hubie’s Car Wash is its commitment to environmental sustainability. Brandon emphasizes that over 83% of the water used in the wash is recycled, showcasing the business’s dedication to minimizing its ecological footprint. This eco-conscious approach, coupled with the use of biodegradable cleaning solutions, positions Hubie’s as a leader in environmentally friendly car care.
Customer Satisfaction Guaranteed
Throughout the tour, Brandon underscores the importance of customer satisfaction and safety. From reminders to secure windows during the wash to ensuring that vehicles with special features like bed covers or trailer hitches are accommodated, Hubie’s prioritizes the needs and concerns of its patrons.
Final Thoughts
As the car emerges from the wash bay, gleaming under the Pittsboro sun, Brandon reflects on the simplicity and effectiveness of the experience. With operating hours spanning from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day of the week, Hubie’s Car Wash offers convenience and reliability to busy customers.
