Member app and web portal
Your members update cards, add vehicles, change plans, pause, and cancel online from iOS, Android, or your website.
The Problem
Your Tunnel Runs Fine, but Your Membership List Leaks
It starts once your wash club grows past what the front counter can handle. Card updates, plan changes, and cancellations pile up as phone calls and sticky notes.
Card updates
Members call the site or stop by to change a card.
Card updates
Members update cards in the app, and the POS gets the new status.
Declined renewals
Cards decline overnight and nobody follows up until the gate refuses.
Declined renewals
Retries run on a schedule, and members get a card-update link by text.
Plan changes
Adding a car or upgrading needs a manager at the counter.
Plan changes
Members add vehicles, upgrade, or pause plans themselves, within the rules you set.
Blind churn
You learn members left only when the monthly total drops.
Blind churn
Reports show cancellations, reasons, and visits per member by plan and site.
It's Monday morning and your site manager has a stack of sticky notes: card updates, a member who sold her car, a family adding another vehicle. Your POS can do most of it, but only at the counter and only if someone knows the screens. Meanwhile, cards decline overnight and nobody follows up until the gate stops opening. Some members argue with the attendant. Others drive to the wash down the road. Your plans sell well. Your membership list just leaks from the back.
We start with your plans, your POS, and one week of membership requests written down. Then we build car wash membership software that lets members handle those requests themselves, in an app or on your site. Declined cards get retried and followed up by text before the plan lapses. Every change syncs back to the POS, so the entrance reads the right plan. Your managers stop playing billing clerk and get back to running the wash.
Members manage their own plans
Card updates, vehicle swaps, upgrades, pauses, and online cancellation happen in the app, not at your counter.
Declined cards followed up
Failed renewals retry on a schedule and send members a card-update link before the plan lapses.
Churn you can see
Your reports show joins, cancellations, plan mix, and visits per member for each site.
Our Car Wash Membership Software Process
From Sticky Notes to Self-Service Members in Five Steps
You approve your plan rules, member screens, and POS sync in plain language first. Then one site pilots the app with real members before your other sites switch.
We sit with your site manager through a morning of member requests and review your plans, POS reports, and declines. You leave with a plan map and our view on whether your POS portal covers it.
What's Included
What You Get With Car Wash Membership Software
A member app, plate and tag records, billing recovery, the POS sync, and churn reports in one car wash subscription management software build. It works with your current POS.

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams we have built membership apps and billing tools for.
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
What I appreciate most is that the website is actually easy for us to manage now. We can update content ourselves instead of sending a developer a message every time we need to change something small. They also paid attention to the technical SEO side, which mattered to us because we didn’t want a new website to create problems for the traffic we already had. I’ve probably asked more questions than I should have since launch, but every question has been handled patiently and without any fuss. The team is easy to work with, they explain things clearly, and when we need something changed, they focus on getting it done rather than making the process complicated.

Work Culture
Why Wash Operators Trust Us With Their Members
A wash club lives on recurring charges and fast lanes. These habits keep your members paying, your entrance reading the right plan, and your managers out of billing.
We stand at the pay station
We watch your members enter, get recognized, and get stuck before we design a screen. Questions your attendants answer all day become the app's first features.
Your POS stays in charge
Your POS and tunnel controller keep control of the entrance and in-person sales. We sync with them, so the lane keeps moving even if the app is offline.
Renewal rules built in
Plan terms, consent records, renewal notices, and online cancellation follow your states' auto-renewal laws. Your attorney approves the wording, and we build it as written.
Honest about your POS
If your POS vendor's member portal already covers your plans, we'll tell you before we quote. Custom work pays off once its limits start costing you members.
One quote, every site
Your quote lists every plan, site, and sync we'll build, at one price. If a new site joins mid-project, we price it in writing before work starts.
Member data in your name
The code, the member database, and the app store accounts belong to your company. If you sell a site or switch developers, the records go with you.

Good fit
Express washes with growing wash clubs
Your unlimited club bills through Stripe or your POS, and card updates and plan changes reach your site managers as phone calls every morning.
Flex-serve washes selling tiered plans
You sell exterior and full-service plans, and members keep asking to upgrade, pause for winter, or move a plan to their new car.
Multi-site operators with mixed systems
You bought washes that run different car wash point of sale software, and no report shows one member list across all of your sites.
Mobile washes with fleet customers
Your mobile car wash software books one-off jobs well, but your office-park and fleet customers want recurring visits billed monthly.
Agencies serving wash operators
Your agency runs the wash chain's website and ads, and the owner now wants a branded iOS and Android member app without a second vendor.
Not a fit
Budget under $1,200
You run one site with a small club, and your POS vendor's member portal already handles card updates. Use it until its limits start costing you members.
Need a new wash website
You need a site with your wash menu, plan comparison, and locations. Our Car Wash Website Design service builds that and hands signups to your POS.
Shopping for a new POS
You're choosing car wash computer software to run a new tunnel. Buy an established POS first, then we build the member layer around it.
Detailing bookings, not plans
You sell detailing appointments, not monthly plans. Our Mobile Detailing Website Design service covers booking by address and service zone.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers on how memberships work, cost, declined cards, POS sync, and the renewal rules that apply to wash clubs.

A car wash membership charges a member's card every month for unlimited washes at a chosen level. At the entrance, a license plate camera or a windshield RFID tag identifies the car, and the POS checks the plan before the gate opens. Your system then renews the plan each billing date, retries failed cards, and logs every visit.
Yes, when the app reads and writes the same membership records your POS uses. Members update the card, add or swap a vehicle, change plans, pause, or cancel without calling the site. We build that member app on top of your POS data, so the tunnel keeps reading the right plan status at the entrance.
Custom builds start at $1,200 for a one-site member portal with card updates, plan changes, and online cancellation. A member app with failed payment recovery and churn reports starts at $3,300, and multi-site platforms with fleet accounts start at $6,700. You get a fixed quote after we review your POS and membership data.
A member portal takes 5 to 7 weeks, and a multi-site platform with iOS and Android apps takes 10 to 13 weeks. Your first 2 weeks go to mapping plans and confirming what your POS shares. Apple and Google review the apps before release, so we leave room for that in the launch plan.
Yes, when members stay: a membership program turns weather-dependent single washes into monthly revenue you can forecast. The program only pays off if renewals hold, so declined cards and cancellations need the same attention as the tunnel. Track churn and visits per member each month to see whether your plan prices still work.
A membership is worth it for a customer who washes more often than the monthly price divided by the single wash price. If a plan costs about as much as two single washes, every wash after the second that month is free. Show that math plainly on your plan page, because members who understand the value are easier to keep.
Monthly memberships beat paying per wash for commuters, rideshare drivers, and anyone who parks outside through pollen or road salt season. Occasional washers do better paying per visit. Offering both makes sense for you: single washes bring new cars in, and memberships keep the regulars. Your reports should show which single-wash customers convert.
No. Your POS and tunnel controller stay in charge of the entrance, the gate, and in-person sales. We build the membership layer around them: member accounts, the app, billing recovery, and reports. The sync runs through what your POS vendor offers, such as an API, webhooks, or a scheduled report export, confirmed before we quote.
It retries the declined charge on a schedule, then asks the member to update the card before the plan pauses. Where your payments run on Stripe, we use Stripe Billing's Smart Retries and Stripe's automatic card updates. Members get a text or email with a link to the app, and the gate keeps opening until the grace period you set ends.
They mean your plan terms must be clear and the member must agree before the first charge. California's automatic renewal law also requires that members who join online can cancel online. We build the terms, consent records, renewal notices, and online cancel path into the software, and your attorney confirms the wording for your states.
