About Mint Eco

  • Mint Eco was founded with one mission in mind: To make people happy. We accomplish our mission by:

    1) Being experts in our fields

    2) Bringing a critical eye to everything we do

    3) Staying relationship oriented

    4) Being clear, honest and consistent with our communication

    We are in this industry to transform the car wash experience. In the past, car washes were known for being dirty and disorganized with complicated menus. We wanted to bring a fresh approach to washing cars. Mint Eco offers you a simplified menu that is gimmick free with friendly staff, high-quality wash, detailing services, clean lobbies, free coffee, eco-friendly products and service. Above all, we are committed to our mission: To make you happy!

  • Yes, we take pride on our continued efforts to create a car wash process that protects and care for our planet. We achieve our goals by properly managing water usage, utilizing environmentally sensitive chemistry, and practicing responsible waste management. We invest significant time and resources to self-audit and ensure that we are implementing the best practices to make a difference in the environment. To learn more, visit our environmental page.

  • All Mint Eco Car Wash locations are open Monday to Friday from 7AM–7PM, Saturday 8AM–6PM, and Sunday 9AM–5PM.

    Visit our locations page to find out more about the services at each of out locations. Such as detail scheduling, interior services, and which locations offer free vacuums all day.

  • We may expand outside of this area in the future, but we are currently focused on growing our presence in Southeast Florida - primarily Palm Beach County.

  • When washing at home, any soaps used and dirt or oils from the car and the driveway are either introduced to the storm water system that leads to the ocean or enters the ground water and can harm the soil and water. Washing your car at home can also use considerable amounts of water.

    When you wash at Mint Eco, you are actually helping the environment. As a water saving car wash, we use less than 40 gallons of fresh water per car, which is significantly less than what is used during the average home wash. Additionally, any used water is filtered before being sent to the sewer system for further treatment at our regional wastewater treatment facility.

  • Mint Eco has an “Exterior Only Guarantee” during all operating hours, which states:

    “At Mint Eco our goal is to ensure customer happiness. A clean car makes you feel good and brings optimism to your day. At Mint Eco, this means even during times of inclement weather we will service your exterior clean needs – guaranteed! In doing so, Mint Eco is ensuring that our customer know that we can provide happiness for them rain or shine.”

    This being said, you can expect to receive our exterior car wash tunnel service no matter what the weather, at all of our locations!

    *Mint Eco reserves the right to close the site if conditions become too dangerous or extreme for our employees to safely work in (i.e. a tropical storm or hurricane). If this is the case, we will notify our members via social media, and/or via automated text.

  • Yes! We offer 10% off for all military active duty and Veterans with valid ID. Additionally, we wash all police vehicles for free!

  • “Express Exterior” is a car wash industry term that refers to a 5-minute or less car wash experience, where you wash the outside of your vehicle only. Most car washes nowadays only offer an “Express Exterior” experience with free self-service vacuums after you travel through the tunnel.

    Mint Eco Car Wash is what is known as a “flex” car wash, because we offer additional services in addition to our state-of-the-art tunnel (Services vary by site). Growing up, you were likely used to going to what is known as a “full-service” car wash, where you have to get the inside and outside on every visit. Here at Mint Eco, our offering is “flexible”, so you can choose to wash your car’s exterior only or add on other services.

  • Our car wash tunnel at Mint Eco does have restrictions, to ensure the safety of your vehicle and our equipment, we have the following restrictions:

    • Height Limit: Vehicles must be no taller than 86 inches (7 feet, 2 inches).

    • Tire Width: Tires cannot exceed 14 inches in width.

    • Track Width: The maximum allowable track width (distance between the outer edges of the tires on the same axle) is 90 inches. Please note that a vehicle’s overall width can exceed 90 inches, but the track width must fall within this limit.

    These guidelines ensure the safety of your vehicle and the proper functioning of our car wash system, helping us deliver a reliable and efficient experience for all our customers.

    If you have any questions or need further assistance, please reach out to us or speak with a team member during your visit. Don’t forget, our detail department also offers hand washing for any vehicle!

Wash Packages

  • Our recommendation is to wash your car once a week. Throughout the week, your car is exposed to the severe South Florida elements, such as salt, dust, dirt, rain, and extensive UV exposure from the sun, which builds up corrosive layers that can damage the exterior of your car. Taking preventive care of your car will protect it from damage and will restore the aesthetic value in only 5 minutes through our Clean, Shine, Protect, or Mint Wash.

  • Through our fresh approach to washing cars, we have simplified our menu by offering four washes: our Clean, Shine, Protect, and Mint Wash. Each of these washes are designed to clean every spot and refresh your car. If you simply want to remove any layer of dirt or dust from your car, our Clean Wash will do exactly that, as it is just soap and water.

    If you not only want a clean car, but also you want a “shiny” car, our Shine Wash will restore the shininess of your car through the proper application of wax and soap. In addition, with our Shine Wash, we apply tire shine on your tires. If you want to protect your car from the weather elements in South Florida, you want to use our Protect wash and prevent any possible exterior damage by the application of Salt-Away and ceramic.

    Lastly, our customers’ favorite, our Mint Wash. The Mint Wash has all the benefits of the other three washes plus an application of Rain-X and graphene. Rain-X creates a water repellant layer on your windshield that creates water beading and makes it safer/easier to drive in the rain. Graphene is a new technology that is applied o the body of your vehcile and creates a deeper shine the more you wash. This wash is unbeatable. No matter which wash you choose, we are so excited to have you join the #MoveMINT!

  • Our Protect and Mint washes implements an additive that is especially useful in South Florida’s salty air and environment. Salt Away is a non-toxic, biodegradable, non-hazardous product used to inhibit rust and the corrosive effects of salt water or salt air on your car. Through this product, the exterior of your car will maintain its color, shine, and durability.

  • 5/15 is our promise to you. Our goal is to complete an exterior wash in 5 minutes or less and a full-service wash in 15 minutes or less…without sacrificing quality. We don’t want you to be put off by a line at the entrance to the wash. From the moment you drive up you can be sure you’ll be leaving with a clean car in 5/15. This is a bold goal, so we thank you for your patience on high traffic days and on days when your car may need extra attention.

  • In our tunnels, we utilize equipment that is made of a material that is similar to a wetsuit, which is safe for your vehicle’s paint. Our brushes are properly maintained and will clean your vehicle without damaging its paint.

  • We have a Customer Happiness Guarantee here at Mint Eco, which states that we will re-do the service or make adjustments to the service you purchased before your leave our property in order to make sure you leave happy.

    If you happen to get home and then notice that we missed something, you are invited to bring the vehicle back and we will take care of you upon your return! Ultimately, it is our goal that every vehicle leaves in Mint condition. While mistakes are rare they can happen whenever human beings are involved, and we will do everything in our power to make it right.

Here at Mint Eco, we offer clear, uncomplicated options that are designed to be fairly priced, starting with our four levels of Express Exterior washes. These include Clean, Shine, Protect and Mint – our highest menu level that combines Graphene, Ceramic and Rain-X for powerful paint protection. Single washes range from $12 to $26, with our unlimited washes priced at $25 to $45/month. Unlimited Wash Club Members also receive 25% off all interior and detail services, all the time.  

  • We recommend washing your car every 1-2 weeks because of South Florida’s salt, UV rays, sprinkler water, frequent rain and other elements that can cause damage over time. At Mint Eco, we’ve added innovations to our services, like Salt Away – a desalination spray on your undercarriage – and Ceramic and Graphene to provide your car with added layers of protection.

  • Mint Eco is proud to have five car washes that are near you and that are now open and ready to make you happy:  

    • Okeechobee Boulevard East

    • Palm Beach Lakes

    • Okeechobee Boulevard West 

    • West Palm Beach Southend  

    • Jupiter  

     And more locations are on the way! We’re excited for what’s coming soon.  

  • Most car washes cost between $10 and $50, and prices vary based on the level of service you choose. At Mint Eco, we’re offering you a fresh approach with a clear, simple Express Exterior menu, which includes four packages – Clean, Shine, Protect and Mint – ranging from just $12 to $26 for a single wash. 

  • There is more value in taking your car to a full-service car wash, like Mint Eco, than washing your car by yourself. Washing your car at home uses approximately 140 gallons of water, compared to visiting Mint Eco, which only requires 40 gallons. We’re in the business of making people happy with high-quality washes, thorough detailing services, clean lobbies, eco-friendly products – everything you need to feel like your car looks as fresh as it was when you drove it out of the dealership!  

  • Frequent washes won’t hurt your car. Especially in South Florida, where UV rays, salt and other harsh elements are prevalent, it’s beneficial for protecting interior and exterior appearance and paint finish. For example, at Mint Eco, our Mint Wash combines the power of Graphene, Ceramic and Rain-X to give your car the deepest richness and luster, layered heat and UV protection, water spot resistance and more. The layers of Graphene and Ceramic will continue to build, and you’ll see a noticeable difference, the more times the Mint Wash is applied to your vehicle at our car wash. 

  • Yes, washing your car once a week is OK. South Florida has many elements that can cause damage to your car over time, from sprinkler water to salt spray, frequent rain and bugs. Stop by one of Mint Eco’s car washes and see how we take a fresh approach to washing your car with washes designed to continue adding layers of protection to your vehicle the more they’re applied, like the Mint Wash – our ultimate level.   

  • There are several common misconceptions about the best time of day to clean your car and the weather conditions needed to restore your car to mint condition! You can wash your car at any time of day, even in the rain. In fact, washing your car when it’s raining can help protect your car from the elements. We encourage our club members to our car wash during inclement weather, as our Mint wash includes Rain-X, allowing you to drive safely with a clear windshield. At Mint Eco, our 26-step wash process, available at any Express Exterior level, allows us to achieve a spot-free shine you and your car deserve! 

  • Rain-X is a brand of car wash products that not only cleans your car but also applies a water-repellant coating to your windshield. These applications make a major difference on the road, adding a layer on your glass that allows water to bead and easily slide off. Among our Express Exterior options, our best level – the Mint wash – includes Rain-X, Salt Away, Graphene and other protective offerings to shield your car from South Florida’s harsh elements and allow you to drive safely in inclement weather.  

  • A touchless car wash does not use physical brushes, but rather high-pressure water jets and cleaning products. Just as the name suggests, this type of wash does not actually touch your vehicle and may not clean it effectively. Traditionally, compared to tunnel car washes, touchless washes use more aggressive chemicals that can degrade a car’s convertible top and rubber trim. Mint Eco is not a touchless car wash. We offer a 26-step wash process that uses neoprene brushes, designed to keep off dirt and loose debris that can damage paint and scratch your car.  

  • In South Florida, washing your car every 1-2 weeks is a great way to keep it fresh, clean and protected from salt, UV rays, sprinkler water, frequent rain and other elements. At Mint Eco, our simple wash menu offers clear options that have everything needed to restore your car to mint condition!  

  • The best car wash option depends on your car’s needs. When you stop by Mint Eco, one of our concierges will help you choose the best car wash service for your specific vehicle. We have designed a menu that is easy to read and has everything you need for your vehicle, including the best wash we offer – the Mint Wash. This level combines innovative, research-backed applications, like Rain-X, Graphene and Ceramic that, when layered, provide the ultimate paint protection.  

  • The most successful car washes are measured by factors like number of locations, service quality, convenience, and relationships with customers and the community. In Palm Beach County, Mint Eco has been voted “Best Car Wash & Auto Detail Center” from 2022 through 2024 and was named “Best Eco-Friendly Business” in 2024 by the Palm Beach Post. The success of our business is because we are different, and we believe our mission starts with making people happy.

  • A premium car wash offers top-tier services, from thorough exterior cleaning with high-quality products to interior detailing and hand washing options.

  • Washing your car every 1-2 weeks is a good way to maintain its freshness and protect the paint from South Florida’s harsh elements. Here at Mint Eco, our Exterior Wash packages, especially our Mint and Protect Washes, include innovative applications designed to restore your car to mint condition!  

  • It’s better for the environment to wash your car at an eco-friendly car wash, like Mint Eco! Voted “Best Eco-Friendly Business” of Palm Beach County in 2024, we not only recycle 100% of the water we use, but our water and chemicals never reach the storm drain. At Mint Eco, we challenge the belief that what’s good for business is bad for the environment, which is why each year we take proactive steps to minimize our impact and are transparent at every turn. This year alone, our team has made improvements in:  

    • Eco-Friendly Products: Expanded our use of biodegradable and non-toxic products in our detail business. Now, our entire detail business operates at the same high environmental standards as our Tunnels. 

    • Water Conservation: Prevented leaks, optimized flow rates, and enhanced our water monitoring practices, which will lead to significant reductions in water usage.  

    • Waste Reduction: Partnered with National Car Wash Solutions to use ultra-concentrated chemicals, cutting down on packaging. Switched to an eco-friendly waste management service to handle our reclaim water tanks.  

    • Energy Efficiency: Identified inefficient equipment in the tunnel system, guiding future improvements. Adjusted drying system settings to reduce motor usage, reducing energy consumed per car.

  • All car washes are good, but it’s the people behind them that create the best experience! At Mint Eco, our team dares to be different in the way we approach the experience, our community and the impact our facilities have on the environment. We not only take proactive steps to minimize our impact each year, which you can read about in our annual environmental audit, but we’re also supported by one of the largest manufacturers of innovative products – National Car Wash Solutions.  

  • Waxing your car after every wash isn't necessary. But every car is different, and periodic waxing can leave yours with an incredible shine in the South Florida sun! At each of our car wash locations, we have an incredible team ready to assess your vehicle and help you pick the right wash for your needs.  

  •  

    Mint Eco’s Express Exterior washes use neoprene, which is considered the best brush material for tunnel applications. These brushes are designed to not only be soft and gentle but are made with nonporous closed-cell foam that doesn’t hold dirt and debris that can scratch your car’s paint. At our car wash, every vehicle we wash is hand dried by a team member who wants to makes sure your car leaves in mint condition – another important detail that makes us different!
