Proudly Local. Proudly Yours.
In a world full of corporate car washes that all look the same, feel the same, and treat you the same, Ship Shape Car Wash is different—because we’re from right here.
We’re a locally-owned business with five convenient locations across the mid-west communities we love and call home. No distant corporate headquarters, no one-size-fits-all playbook, or revolving door of employees who’ve never met you before. Just neighbors taking care of neighbors.
What Makes Ship Shape Special
- Fast, express exterior washes that leave your car sparkling in minutes
- Free self-serve vacuums (because we know you want the inside perfect too)
- Unlimited wash memberships that actually make life easier and save you money
- A team you’ll recognize—many of our managers have been with us 10, 12, even 15+ years
- Friendly faces who remember your name (and that your dog rides shotgun)
We keep local police cruisers, delivery vans, and your family’s daily driver looking sharp year-round. When the community’s vehicles shine, we all look a little better.
Giving Back Is in Our DNA
We don’t just wash cars—we support the places and people that make our town great. From sponsoring Little League teams and school fundraisers to hosting charity wash days and donating to local causes, we believe in keeping our dollars (and our shine) right here at home.
A Little Extra Care When You Need It
Need more than a quick wash? Our flagship location offers full professional detailing, and some of our sites bring the detail to you with convenient mobile detailing services. Because sometimes your car deserves the royal treatment.
The Ship Shape Promise
You’ll never feel like just another car on a conveyor belt here. You’re part of the family the moment you pull in. We’ll treat your vehicle like it’s our own, greet you with a genuine smile, and send you back on the road looking (and feeling) brand new.
Come see the difference local makes.
