Bliss Car Wash

What Bliss Car Wash does

BLISS Car Wash, LLC is a privately held, founder-led (David Delrahim, CEO & Founder) express tunnel car wash operator headquartered in Agoura Hills, California, founded in 2019. The company runs 14+ physical drive-thru wash locations across Southern California and is actively expanding into the Las Vegas Valley in Nevada, with Tropicana Ave, North Las Vegas, and Paradise locations announced. Its service portfolio spans four tiered wash packages—Cleanse ($23/mo or $10 single), Sparkle ($30/mo or $17 single), Transform+ ($38/mo or $24 single), and BLISS Polish ($55/mo or $32 single)—plus an exclusive Polish Tunnel add-on at select California and Nevada sites that delivers a hand-dried, hand-waxed, microfiber-buffed finish in approximately 5 minutes.

The underlying technology stack is an express tunnel system with several differentiated components: a multi-stage water reclamation system that reuses 70% of wash water and limits fresh-water consumption to 24 gallons per vehicle; closed-cell G-Flex foam brushes designed to prevent paint abrasion; NuWave Industries reverse-osmosis water treatment for spot-free rinse; and the proprietary DRY N' SHINE drying system. All cleaning products are 100% biodegradable, phosphate-free, and Blue Coral Beyond Green certified. A BLISS-branded iOS/Android mobile app provides membership management, digital wallet, wash-code redemption, and loyalty rewards, with RFID sticker or license-plate recognition enabling fast membership entry at all sites.

BLISS earns revenue through two primary streams: recurring unlimited monthly memberships (subscription) and one-time single wash purchases, with memberships representing the higher-margin, more predictable stream and serving as the core retention mechanism. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer through physical tunnel locations and self-serve digital channels, supplemented by a smaller fleet/commercial program for businesses operating 10+ vehicles. Customer segments are predominantly individual personal-vehicle owners in California and Nevada, with a horizontal segmentation approach across consumer tiers; there is no disclosed enterprise anchor customer. The company is privately held with no reported institutional investment, parent company, or public-market activity.
