Las Vegas, NV — Element Express Wash (Element) is revolutionizing the car wash industry with its upcoming fully indoor, climate-controlled express car wash in Las Vegas. This first-of-its-kind facility combines advanced technology with convenience, allowing customers to complete a full-service, inside-and-out wash in 15 minutes or less.
Located at the Northeast corner of Flamingo Rd. & Maryland Pkwy., across from the UNLV main campus, the new Element Express Wash spans over 81,000 square feet, making it the largest indoor car wash in the U.S. Las Vegas’ extreme summer temperatures make Element’s climate-controlled setup an ideal solution, enhancing comfort and efficiency. “Growing up in Las Vegas, I know the struggle of keeping a car clean in this climate,” says Mike Bonanni, Principle and Executive Vice President of Operations at Element. “Our goal is to address those challenges head-on, creating an unparalleled car wash experience.”
The facility will feature two high-capacity express wash tunnels and a climate-controlled self-service vacuum area, enabling it to accommodate up to five times the vehicle volume of traditional single-tunnel washes. Element’s express interior detail service will be a first for Las Vegas, providing customers with a convenient option for a thorough, high-quality wash experience.
In addition to prioritizing customer experience, Element Express Wash is committed to environmental sustainability. Compared to home washing, Element’s process uses 60% less water per vehicle. Each wash incorporates biodegradable detergents, specifically formulated for local Las Vegas bugs and grime, to optimize cleaning while minimizing environmental impact. The facility also includes an advanced water treatment system, which recycles most of the water, removes contaminants, and returns only clean water to the system, helping to conserve local water resources.
By repurposing the old Toys-R-Us and TJ Maxx buildings that have sat vacant at this location for years, Element Express Wash aligns with city initiatives to revitalize vacant properties, transforming these spaces into a unique community asset. The car wash will create over 70 permanent jobs once operational, in addition to the jobs generated through construction.
“We’re excited to bring this premium car wash experience to the Las Vegas community,” says Aaron Westbrook, Principal and Executive Vice President of Corporate Operations at Element. “This facility is a testament to our commitment to making high-quality car washes accessible to everyone. For many, a car is one of their biggest investments, and keeping it clean supports both personal health and personal pride. Our mission is to make a high-quality, convenient wash experience that turns washing your car from a chore into a healthy habit.”
Element Express Wash is scheduled to open its doors in Q3 2025, providing a unique, high-tech, eco-conscious solution to car care in Las Vegas.
