CPS Wash develops, builds, and operates self-serve manual wash bays and express tunnel car washes — the premium car wash infrastructure New Zealand communities have been waiting for.
About CPS Wash
CPS Wash is a New Zealand car wash development company building high-quality, long-life wash facilities designed for the communities they serve. We work alongside councils, commercial landowners, and planning teams to site, consent, construct, and operate car wash infrastructure at a professional standard.
We're not a franchise model. We're not a temporary solution. We design and build permanent facilities that set a new benchmark for New Zealand car washing.
What We Build
Format 01
Open, high-stud wash bays that give customers complete control over how they clean their vehicle. Popular in communities across the world, self-serve bays are loved for the precision and care they allow — customers can take their time and get the result they want.
Ideal for suburban and regional sites
Format 02
Unlike the in-bay automatics most New Zealanders are used to, an express tunnel wash moves the vehicle through a conveyor system — customers stay in their car while a sequence of automated brushes, high-pressure jets, and dryers do the work. The result is a faster, more thorough, and more consistent wash. Fully contained on-site, with all water and wash chemistry managed within the facility.
Ideal for high-traffic arterial and retail sites
Partnering with Communities
New Zealand communities are changing. Higher-density housing means more residents without driveways, more cars, and fewer good options for vehicle washing. A CPS Wash facility gives your community proper infrastructure — keeping wash water out of stormwater and off residential streets, while delivering a long-term rates-paying business that residents actually use.
A well-located car wash brings people to the area — and that's good for every business around it. CPS Wash facilities generate consistent, repeat visits that complement surrounding tenancies and bring steady foot traffic to your precinct.
CPS Wash is a long-term tenant — whether that's a lease or a site purchase. We're actively seeking sites across New Zealand and move efficiently once the right site is found.
Sustainability
Self-serve and tunnel car washes use up to 85% less water than a typical home driveway wash — and treat every drop before it leaves the site.
Customer-operated self-serve bays use as little as 60 litres per vehicle — up to 85% less water than a typical home driveway wash.
All wastewater is captured, treated, and discharged within council trade waste consents. No untreated discharge to stormwater or waterways — ever.
We use biodegradable, low-toxicity wash chemistry selected to meet New Zealand environmental discharge standards at every site.
Our Team
We started CPS Wash because, as regular car wash users, we couldn't find what we were looking for — and everyone we spoke to felt the same way. New Zealand has the demand. It just doesn't have the facilities to match. We're here to change that.
