Splashes

What Splashes does

Splashes (legal entity: Splashes Wash Lodge Inc.) is a privately held, single-location auto care shop founded in 2004 and operated by founder-owner Greg from the South Surrey Auto Mall in British Columbia, Canada. The company delivers a broad, multi-service vehicle care portfolio anchored in three categories: (1) auto glass repair, replacement, mobile service, and ADAS calibration; (2) detailing, touchless car wash, and XKote paint renewal; and (3) vehicle protection and customization including Paint Protection Film (XPEL Ultimate Plus), ceramic coating (XPEL FUSION PLUS), window tinting, vehicle wraps, chrome delete, vinyl decals, spray-on bedliner (Armaguard), and bundled protection packages. The technology stack combines certified installer labor with third-party branded systems (XKote 24-hour hand-application, patented WhiteWater touchless wash, XPEL proprietary film-cutting software) rather than proprietary in-house technology.

The business model is consumer-direct with a B2B fleet wrap adjacency. Pricing is unit-based and varies by vehicle size (Car, SUV/Truck, Oversize) with explicit price points across the menu (e.g., car wash basic at $12.99 CAD, full front PPF at $2,200, Stage 3 ceramic at $1,799-$1,999). The company offers same-day service, free mobile auto glass across Surrey, White Rock, Richmond, Langley, and Delta, a complimentary community shuttle, financing via Affirm (0-31.99% APR), gift cards, and a loyalty mobile app. Its primary go-to-market is direct-to-consumer through a physical storefront plus mobile field service, supported by direct insurance billing as an ICBC Repair Network facility. Customer segments are individual vehicle owners (primary) and fleet/business owners (secondary), with no enterprise contracts disclosed. The company employs up to 50 people seasonally, holds a 4.7-star Google rating across 900+ reviews, and has earned 2025 Peace Arch News Reader's Choice awards and ICBC's 2025 Top-Performing Glass Shop designation.
