Road Runner Express opens ‘Taj Mahal of carwashes’

“We just wanted to put something here that would be a visual appeal to everyone driving past it, and it gets people talking about it. The Taj Mahal of carwashes — we hear that a lot,” said General Manager Daniel Cyrus.

The Road Runner Express is now open and giving out its top-dollar carwashes for free through Sunday, Oct. 24th.

It is the only carwash in Lynchburg with a buff and dry, setting it apart from the competition.
