There is an indoor wash facility for medium and heavy-duty trucks. The maintenance and repair area also includes shop offices, parts storage and a mezzanine for long term storage. The car wash is an automated facility that will be able to handle all cars and light duty trucks and vans, even with racks and equipment. The wash is of the touchless variety with a dryer.
