Free Car Washes For San Diegans: Save The Date

SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CA –Coinciding with Earth Month and in celebration of its 20-plus years of eco-friendly, car washes, Soapy Joe's will be honored Thursday as San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer will declare April 18 "Soapy Joe's Day."

And for San Diego County residents -- that means free car washes for all!

The freebie is Soapy Joe's chance to support the need for water conservation and eco-friendliness, while demonstrating its technology where a wash at Soapy Joe's uses 80 percent less water than a DIY wash at home, and for every 30 gallons of water filtered at Soapy Joe's, 20 gallons are reusable, company officials said.

The car washes will be offered from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., but the last day to sign up online is Wednesday, April 17. DETAILS HERE:
