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!

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!

“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.
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.
