      THE RICHIE’S CAR WASH PAYBACK REWARDS CARD

Richie’s Express Car Wash is located at 3141 S. College Avenue, on the west side of the street, across from the Foothills Fashion Mall.  Turn west on Foothills Parkway from College Avenue to enter.

It’s so easy---Just keep the card handy in your wallet or glove box and when you purchase a “Works” wash or a “Works” book containing 5 washes for the price of 4, hand the card to the attendant.  The attendant will swipe the card and $3 will be donated to our organization, the Fort Collins Girls Softball Club!  That is an almost 25% return on the cost of the wash.  No limit on how many times it can be used, so it is an ongoing source of fundraising for us.  That’s it, nice and easy.  All proceeds will go to help keep our club fees down, purchase equipment for teams to use and build our scholarship funds.

The “Works” is Richie’s best wash, their “signature” that includes a power pre-washing by the attendants, hot water pre-soak, clean water rinse, underbody wash, wheel brite, rust inhibitor, clear coat and warm air fan drying.  And all this in about 3 ½ minutes! Even on busy days, the wait time to get into the wash is not very long because the wash itself is so quick. Not only is the wash done with soft cloth, no brushes, but the waste water is treated before being discharged into the sewer system, so it is better environmentally than washing your car in the driveway at home.  Their vacuums are free and they offer a variety of interior cleaning products at nominal cost for when you want to clean the inside as well as the outside of your vehicle.
