Canada’s first Tommy’s Express Car Wash has opened in Brampton, according to OpenShine, a division of OpenRoad Group.
The new location, situated at 6 Maritime Ontario Blvd., marks the entry of the U.S.-based franchise into the Canadian market. A grand opening is planned for November.
“Our team has been working hard behind the scenes to bring the very first Tommy’s Express Car Wash to Canada,” said Christian Tjia, operations manager at OpenShine. “We’re proud to bring a new upscale car wash service to Canada, one that is trusted by millions across the globe. We can’t wait to welcome drivers for their first wash and shine at Tommy’s Express Brampton.”
Tommy’s Express Car Wash operates more than 250 locations worldwide and was ranked No. 7 on the 2024 Professional Car Wash and Detailing Magazine Top 50 Conveyor Carwashes brands list. The company’s facilities are known for their belt conveyor systems, free vacuums, mat washers, and a tunnel design built for speed and efficiency.
The Brampton location includes a first-to-market moulded mat washer and automatic entry through license plate scanning for monthly TommyClub members. Vehicles up to 84 inches in height and 96 inches wide can be accommodated.
TommyClub members can manage payments and vehicle information through a proprietary mobile app and choose between unlimited or pay-per-wash plans.
“It’s an exciting milestone to see Tommy’s Express Car Wash officially opening in Canada,” said Ryan Essenburg, president and chief innovation officer of Tommy Car Wash Systems. “Together with OpenShine, we’re bringing a new car wash experience to Canadian drivers, featuring our industry-leading belt conveyors and high-capacity tunnel design that delivers an efficient and easy wash every time.”
Wash packages range from the basic Quality Wash to the Works Wash, which includes conditioner, deep cleaning foam, hot carnauba wax, rain and UV protection, among other features. Customers can also purchase interior Detail Kits.
A mural of the city of Brampton is featured at the entrance to the wash tunnel.
