Whether you're washing away the cobwebs, dodging zombies in the tunnel, or handing out treats at the pay station, we hope your day is filled with more treats than tricks!

🎃 The Carwash Industry Is Getting SPOOKY!

We've been asking operators across the Heartland to show us how they're celebrating Halloween, and now it's time to share the fun!

From haunted tunnels to costumes and creative decorations, we love seeing carwash teams bring their personalities to work.

👻 Are you hosting a Halloween event this weekend?

Tag your carwash below and share your photos, videos, or event links. Let's show everyone how creative our industry can be!

👻🚗 Calling All Haunted Carwashes!

Is your carwash getting a SPOOKY makeover this Halloween?

We're looking for operators across HCA's 13-state region who are transforming their tunnels into haunted attractions, hosting Halloween events, or just having some frightfully good fun with their customers!

🎃 Haunted tunnels?
🧟 Zombies in the wash bay?
💀 Skeletons running the pay station?

We want to see it!

Drop your event details, photos, or a link in the comments, or send us a message. We'd love to feature what our operators are doing to bring a little Halloween magic (and mayhem!) to the carwash industry!

💡 The Best Industry Ideas Don't Always Happen in a Classroom.

Sometimes they happen on the trade show floor. Over lunch. Or in a conversation with another operator who's already solved the problem you're facing.

That's what makes HCA events different.

At the 2027 HCA Product & Equipment Show, we're bringing together the people, products, and practical conversations that help carwash businesses succeed.

📅 March 23–24, 2027
📍 Tinley Park Convention Center, near Chicago

Equipment. Education. Connections. All in one place.

🧟 Would YOU Drive Through a Haunted Carwash?

Forget the haunted house. Some carwash operators are taking Halloween straight into the wash tunnel!

We're talking creepy characters, eerie lighting, spooky sounds, and a clean car at the end of it all. 👻🚗

It's a creative way to turn an everyday service into a memorable community experience.

We want to hear from our Heartland operators: Have you hosted a haunted carwash? Would you ever consider it?

And if you're hosting one THIS YEAR, drop your event link below so we can help spread the word!

So proud to see the HCA Road Show come to life! 🚗💦

Our first stop was Autowash Systems, Inc. in New Prague, Minnesota, and what a fantastic way to kick off the day!

A huge thank you to Autowash Systems, Inc. for welcoming our group and to Professional Carwashing & Detailing for capturing the experience and sharing it with the industry.

So much planning went into this event, and seeing everyone come together to learn, connect, and experience the carwash industry firsthand made it all worthwhile!

More stops to come! 👏
