Hey, Fayetteville Folks! Enjoy a Free Car Wash from Splash

It feels good to drive clean, and Splash Car Wash thinks you deserve that "just-washed" feeling for free at their new Fayetteville location next door to Foghorn's off College Ave. 

  • Classic Clean: Splash is an Arkansas-based, family-owned company with state-of-the-art facilities and service like the good old days. Many might recognize the name from their flagship NWA store in Rogers.

  • Rave Reviews: James Young, a local, retired business executive, praises Splash: "Splash Car Wash is by far the premier car wash in NWA, and I know because I'm a clean freak. Their wash rocks, but more than that, I love the people. They're genuinely good, honest folks who do great work. Hard to beat."
