Vermont Handwash
“Our family has run Vermont Handwash for over fifteen years, so handing over the keys wasn’t something we took lightly. LUV walked us through every step, answered every call, and never once tried to rush us. They kept every promise they made, and in this business, that’s rare.” — [Benny Pirian]

American Express Car Wash
“We have had numerous offers over the years, but we really liked the LUV team and had confidence that they would do what they said and I am happy to say they lived up to their word. ” — [Gaby Jabbour]

Century Car Wash
“Our family has taken great pride in running Century Car Wash, so we didn’t want to sell it to just anybody. LUV has a great reputation in the LA market and that was important to us.” — [Shadi Emein]

Each of the three newly acquired locations will undergo significant improvements in the coming months, including upgraded tunnel equipment, advanced wash technology, refreshed branding, enhanced customer amenities, and operational enhancements designed to improve wash quality, increase speed, and elevate the overall guest experience.
