DETROIT — Motor City Wash Works, Inc. hosted a day-long open house celebration on June 17, which also included an auction fundraiser, demonstrations, food and drinks, and attendees, including members of Professional Carwashing & Detailing magazine, were taken to Comerica Park to see the Detroit Tigers take on the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday night. 

“This is an opportunity to bring customers and distributors together and show them our appreciation,” said Motor City Wash Works President Lee Belanger.

The auction’s proceeds will benefit the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer foundation. Belanger, who along with Richard Belanger and Bob Wentworth founded the carwash equipment, parts and accessories company in 2004, says that last year they were able to raise $10,000.

This was the first time Rusty Schwartz of Sun County Wash Systems has been to Motor City Wash Works. Schwartz, who works as a sales manager for the washes based in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado says he came to learn more about the industry. “We use Motor City for our new washes, upgrades and equipment. Motor City is professional and courteous.”

Motor City treated its guests to the baseball game and was a highlight of the day that many in attendance were looking forward to.

Chris Costa, director of sales for WashSource, decided to attend the one-day event to get a better understanding of the company. “It’s been great for networking and I’m excited to finally meet the people I have built a relationship with over the phone,” he says.

Photos of the event, which also includes a barbeque and entertainment, can be seen below.
