"We're excited to cut the ribbon today with City of Loves Park Mayor Greg Jury, members of The Parks Chamber board of directors, and regional leaders in celebration of our new Tommy's Express Car Wash location at 6803 Forest Hills Road in Loves Park, Illinois," said Tommy's Express Car Wash Franchise Owner Keith Zimmerman. "Loves Park is the first of several northern Illinois locations that my business partner Rich Divelbiss and I are opening, including one under construction in Huntley that will open in a few months. What sets Tommy's Express apart from all the rest is our exclusive, state-of-the art equipment that is the highest performing and most energy efficient car wash technology in the industry. For example, the average car wash uses about 70 gallons of water to wash one vehicle; however, we use less than 32 gallons and all of our water is captured in a reclamation system. In addition, Tommy's Express Car Wash uses a dual belt conveyor so vehicles’ wheels don't get scuffed or damaged. The dual conveyor belts enable us to wash almost any vehicle; we can wash vehicles with low clearance, low profile wheels, most jeeps or pick ups with oversize tires and even dually pick up trucks."
