Husband and wife Shell and Sheldon Grossman first opened Bixby Knolls Car Wash in 1977, and while they've consistently offered friendly, high-quality service, a lot of other things have changed since then. One of the most impressive modern-day advancements that the Grossmans undertook was to install a state-of-the-art water reclamation system, as well as computer monitors programed to turn the automated detergents and waxes on and off at exactly the right time. These tech-savvy implements don't just serve to save the business money—they help to curb the negative impact that each car wash has on the environment. As you might expect, Bixby Knolls Car Wash has also progressed to using environmentally-friendly soaps and waxes during its services, which range from simple hand washes to full interior and exterior details complete with leather and upholstery cleaning.
