Charlotte, NC, Nov. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ZIPS Car Wash is inviting drivers across the greater Charlotte region to celebrate the completion of upgrades at six of its locations with free car washes on Friday, November 13 and Saturday, November 14. The customer appreciation event also includes ribbon-cutting celebrations in Kannapolis and Rock Hill, giving neighbors the chance to meet the local ZIPS team and drive away with a clean, shiny ride.
On November 13th and 14th, every guest can enjoy a complimentary car wash at these upgraded ZIPS locations:
- ZIPS Car Wash, 7910 N Tryon St, Charlotte, NC 28262
- ZIPS Car Wash, Tyvola, 1036 Tyvola Rd, Charlotte, NC 28217
- ZIPS Car Wash, 3401 Wilkinson Blvd, Charlotte, NC 28208

- ZIPS Car Wash, 2178 Cherry Road, Rock Hill, SC 29732
Each renovated site brings a fresh look and a smoother visit, with upgraded wash tunnels, refreshed exteriors, improved customer check-in areas and powerful free vacuums. The work reflects ZIPS’ ongoing investment in the Charlotte region and its commitment to a fast, convenient, high-quality express wash every time.
“We want ZIPS to be the car wash our Charlotte-area neighbors think of first — the one right down the street that they know will take care of them every single visit,” said Pete Nani, CEO of ZIPS Car Wash. “Our maintenance, operations and site teams have put real work into these locations, and the best way we know to say thank you to this community is to invite everyone to come see the upgrades for themselves, on us.”
ZIPS will mark the upgrades with ribbon-cutting celebrations in two communities leading into the free wash days. Neighbors, local leaders and media are welcome to join on Wednesday, November 11th at 11am at ZIPS in Kannapolis with the Cabarrus Regional Chamber of Commerce and on this day as ZIPS celebrates, all veterans and active military can receive a free Premier wash. On Friday, November 13th, ZIPS and the York County Chamber of Commerce will celebrate in Rock Hill at 9am.
The Rock Hill celebration will also honor Folds of Honor scholarship recipient Elijah David Robles, son of U.S. Army Reserve Sgt. Maj. David Gertrudis Robles. Folds of Honor provides educational scholarships to the spouses and children of fallen and disabled military service members and first responders, and ZIPS is proud to recognize Elijah and his family’s commitment to our country as part of the celebration. ZIPS recently celebrated their 2026 donation to Folds of Honor with a check presentation last week for $130,000. ZIPS is committed to giving its best for military service men and women and will offer a FREE Premier Wash at all 185+ locations across the country on Veterans Day, Wednesday, November 11th.
