Services
White Bridge Auto Wash offers wash and detail services at a range of price points, listed before Tennessee sales tax. Exterior washes are contactless and drive-thru only, meaning “guests will never exit their vehicle at any point during the wash or payment process.” Wash options include a Basic Exterior Wash with soft cloth wash, hand prep, and hand dry from $12; a Premium Exterior Wash that adds tire dressing, wheel finishing, Carnauba Wunder Wax, rain guard, triple foam conditioner, clear coat protectant, and undercarriage rinse from $17; a Standard Full-Service Wash including interior vacuum, window cleaning, door jamb wiping, wheel finishing, and air freshener from $28; and a higher full-service tier adding dash and console cleaning, tire dressing, and additional wax. Vehicle-size surcharges apply on full-service washes for larger crossovers, SUVs, trucks, and vans.
The Detail Center provides highly customizable, appointment-based services. Offerings include interior packages, ceramic spray sealant packages, one-step and two-step polish and seal packages, hand washes, and individual services such as carpet shampoo, upholstery shampoo, clay bar treatment, ozone treatment, and pet hair removal. Many detail services begin with “Karl’s Wunder Wash.” A $50 deposit is required to book a detail appointment and is applied to the service.
About
White Bridge Auto Wash was opened by Karl Peters in 1987, “after moving from Detroit and bringing a bit of Motor City with him.” Karl was also the inventor of “Karl’s Wunder Wash.” The business is run as a true mom-and-pop operation, with Karl’s stepson, Paul Budslick, taking over the family business in 2013 and owning and operating the wash today. The site notes that Paul “continues the tradition of excellent customer service and attention-to-detail,” retaining long-term employees and earning recognition as “Nashville’s Best Car Wash/Auto Detailer” by the Nashville Scene for the fourteenth consecutive year in 2021. In 2011, the business became “the first wash in Nashville to install and use solar panels,” and it states that it uses one-tenth of the water it would take to wash a car in a driveway, with all water treated rather than draining into storm drains.
