Pumpkin Spice Season At Quick Quack

How To Enjoy This Fall Favorite Treat

It’s that time of year again… pumpkin spice time! From lattes to cold brew, pumpkin spice will be the star ingredient in your coffee cup. And now you can enjoy that same great scent during your car wash. Here we’ll explain how our pumpkin spice scented washes are similar to your favorite fall coffee treat.

What goes into a Pumpkin Spice Latte?

According to starbucks.com, milk, pumpkin spice sauce, brewed espresso, whipped cream and pumpkin spice toppings are used to make their popular drink. While no pumpkin is in the drink itself, pumpkin puree and sugar are used in the sauce which flavors the drink.

What goes into a Pumpkin Spice Scented Wash?

Despite its name, no actual pumpkin is used in our pumpkin spice scented washes. Rather, we use a proprietary blend of cinnamon, cloves and other spices for our fall scent. We then release the scent during the wash so you receive an immersive experience of lights, colors and scents.

How much milk is used in a Pumpkin Spice Latte?

The amount of milk used depends on the size of your cup. But roughly 8 oz, or 1 cup of milk, is used to create a medium sized latte. And of course, you can use or request any milk alternative to achieve similar results.

Car wash water picture

How much water is used in a Pumpkin Spice Scented Wash?

Thanks to our innovative water reclamation system, we can use as little as 15 gallons of water per wash. That’s a huge savings compared to the 100 gallons of water it takes to wash your car at home in the driveway.

Where can I get a Pumpkin Spice Scented Car Wash?

Unlike the popular coffee drink, Pumpkin Spice Scented Washes can only be found at Quick Quack Car Wash. The fan-favorite scent is available for a limited time. To help you make the most of this fun scent experience, we’re giving every customer a special offer on a Ceramic Duck car wash from September 1 through September 30. Just visit any Quick Quack to enjoy our pumpkin scent and save some money too.

P.S. Turn off the air recirculation in your car and turn up the fan to get the full scent experience.

Helpful Tips To Keep Your Student Driver Safe On The Road

Ready or not, it’s back to school time. Maybe your kids have already started another school year, or getting ready to start in the next few weeks. There are school supplies to buy and uniforms to sort out. Carpools to plan and lunches to pack. And if your kids are 15 years or older there’s also driver’s education to consider.

Now thinking of your kids driving may feel a little scary. After all, it wasn’t that long ago that you had to tie their shoelaces for them. But, with careful planning, driver training and routine car cleaning, you can help keep your kids safe behind the wheel.

We have prepared helpful tips for your young drivers to feel comfortable and safe on the road.

Make Sure They Have Driver’s Education and Driver’s Training

Driver’s Education teaches the fundamentals of driving, including how to be a prepared and alert driver, basic vehicle maintenance, and overall road safety. And Driver’s Training involves the physical act of operating a vehicle. Currently, 37 states require driver’s education to obtain a license. Exact rules and regulations vary by state. Even if your state doesn’t require it, driver education and training are highly recommended to help prepare your kids for driving safely and responsibly.

Show By Example

While you can’t control other drivers on the road, you can prepare your kids for potential hazards while driving. One of the best things you can do is demonstrate safe driving whenever they are in the car with you. Emphasis the importance of following all traffic laws such as stopping completely at stop signs, following the speed limit and buckling your seat belt. Also ensure that you use a hands-free device if your cell phone is on while driving.

You may also consider getting a dash-cam for your vehicle. If your kids knows that you can review a video of them driving, they may be more inclined to drive safely themselves. Worry they may text and drive? Install a two-way dash cam and enforce consequences if you see them doing so.

Let Them Drive More Often

We all know the saying that practice makes perfect. So, if you want your kids to become good drivers, let them drive more. You can sit in the front passenger seat and give them helpful guidance as they drive. Let them get familiar and comfortable with routine routes such as the drive to school, practice and the grocery store. Have them practice more difficult tasks like parallel parking in an empty parking lot.

Make Sure Their Vehicle Is Safe

If their vehicle is in good shape, it will help make the driving experience easier and safer. Make sure the vehicle is up-to-date on all routine maintenance including oil changes, tire rotations, alignment and that all signals and brake lights work. Also check that their vehicle has a spare tire and emergency preparedness kit in the trunk and that they know how to use them.

Car Inspection with a Kid

Teach Them To Keep The Car Clean

Kids may not think that driving a clean car has anything to do with safety. But routine car washing can help keep vehicles safer, especially in the rain. Our wash is formulated with a special rain repellent that is applied to the windows and windshield of your vehicle. This hydrophobic formula creates a clear, non-stick layer which helps the rain droplets to bead up and roll off the surface. This can improve overall visibility while driving in the rain and help your windshield wipers to glide more easily.

Also, studies show that clutter and dirty environments can be distracting for some teenagers. Teaching your kids what to use to clean car interior and how to clean car mats not only helps them keep their cars clean but also limits those distractions so they can better focus on the road ahead.

Consider An Unlimited Wash Plan

Now that you know a clean car is a safer car, consider adding your kid’s car to your unlimited car wash membership. You can add up to four additional vehicles from your household to your plan at a discounted rate. And they can wash as often as they want, so they have no excuse to drive dirty. Adding another vehicle to your plan is easy. Just visit the myQQ app and go to “Add Vehicle” and follow the prompts from there.

With a little extra planning, and cleaning at Quick Quack, you can help keep your student driver safe.

Glassdoor We Won Picture

QUICK QUACK CAR WASH HONORED AS A BEST LED COMPANY IN 2024,
A GLASSDOOR AWARD HONORING EXCEPTIONAL SENIOR LEADERSHIP

ROCKLIN, CA May 15, 2024 – Quick Quack Car Wash has been named a winner of Glassdoor’s inaugural award for Best-Led Companies 2024 in the United States. This award honors companies with exceptional senior leadership teams that go above and beyond to redefine the employee experience. Unlike other workplace awards, Glassdoor’s awards rely on input over the past year from employees who anonymously submit a company review on Glassdoor.

“Quick Quack Car Wash has been intentional and deliberate in creating a culture of smart, kind and driven team members for almost twenty years,” said Quick Quack Car Wash Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Jason Johnson. “We are honored and, at the same time, committed to continue striving each day to more completely fulfill our mission to change the lives of our team members for the better.”

“We’re continuing to see employees face challenges as they navigate the rapidly evolving nature of worklife,” said Christian Sutherland-Wong, Glassdoor Chief Executive Officer. “But regardless of changes, one thing is certain; the people within an organization remain its greatest asset, and I truly believe employee wellbeing trickles down from the very top. That’s why we’re excited to reveal Glassdoor’s inaugural list of the Best-Led Companies, showcasing those shining examples of companies where senior leadership is putting worklife and people first according to the millions of ratings and insights provided by those who really know a company – employees.”

When providing a company review, employees are asked to rate several factors tied to their employment experience. These include rating sentiment around their CEO’s job performance as well as around senior management, among other factors. Specifically, when rating their CEO on Glassdoor, employees are able to choose from one of three options: approve, disapprove or no opinion of the CEO. Employees are also asked to share some of the best reasons to work for the company (pros), any downsides (cons) and are encouraged to provide advice to management. Additionally, the Best-Led Companies algorithm leveraged Review Intelligence™, a Glassdoor sentiment analysis tool that reads, analyzes, and categorizes reviews to surface topics, insights, and trends to score company reviews that mention “senior leadership” topics.

Glassdoor award winners for the Best-Led Companies 2024 are determined using Glassdoor’s proprietary awards algorithm, and each leadership approval rating was determined based on the quantity, quality and consistency of Glassdoor-approved company reviews submitted by U.S.-based employees between March 1, 2023 and February 29, 2024. During the year-long eligibility period, companies considered for the list must have more than 1,000 employees and receive at least 100 ratings across the two leadership attributes (CEO job performance and senior management). Complete awards methodology can be found and downloaded here: https://www.glassdoor.com/Award/index.htm

Can Vinyl-Wrapped Cars Go Through a Car Wash?

Adding a vinyl wrap to your car is a nice alternative to painting it. You get the bold look you want at a lower price. As long as you take care of it — avoid applying harsh chemical cleaners, wax and polish, for example — the vinyl will last almost as long as paint does. We know that you want your car to look as great a year from now as it does today, which is why we want to help you learn how to maintain the wrap. Washing your vehicle is just one thing you’ll need to do to keep that distinctive glossy sheen. 

Pressure Washing Basics

It’s possible to pressure-wash a car with a vinyl wrap as long as you use the right steps. Avoid using water at a temperature of 180 degrees Fahrenheit or higher, as the heat can damage the vinyl. Stand at least a foot away from the car at all times, and use a setting no higher than 2000 psi. it’s quite easy to damage the wrap without knowing it, which is why you might prefer going through an automated car wash. 

Automated Car Washes

Using a drive-thru car wash is one of the easiest ways to clean your car. To ensure you do not damage the vinyl wrap, look for a brushless car wash. Brushless cleaning at Quick Quack does a good job of removing dust and other types of debris without scratching the car’s body. It often works better than touchless car washing because it doesn’t use harsh chemicals.  

Spot Cleaning

Spot cleaning is the key to maintaining your vinyl wrap. If you don’t have time to go to the car wash, grab a bucket with warm water and a few drops of detergent. Dip a sponge in the solution, and gently dab it around any stains or spots you see. Use a little pressure to pull off the debris without damaging the wrap. Rinse any traces of detergent off with more water.  

Impact of Car Washes on Vinyl Wraps

Driving over potholes and puddles after a storm can splash road salt onto your car. Steer clear of these hazards to minimize your chance of exposure.   

Regular Washes Go a Long Way Toward Keeping Your Car Salt-Free

The main impact of car washes on vinyl wraps depends on the type you choose. A standard car wash is risky because it can scratch the wrap and even peel it off your car. Touchless washing is equally dangerous because it uses chemicals that can eat through the vinyl and expose the metal beneath. A brushless car wash is the best option because it will not negatively impact your car or your wrap. 

Choosing the best car wash lets you protect your vinyl wrap and keep it looking its best. Stop by one of Quick Quack’s convenient locations with hours that meet your busy schedule.

How Winter Car Washes Save You Money

Winter Car Washes Can Yield Big Savings Down the Road

Although it may sound counterintuitive at first, forming the habit of getting regular car washes in winter can save you a great deal of cash later on. The initial investment takes a few bucks out of your pocket each time but offers a bundle of saving opportunities as long as you own the vehicle. In this modern economy, optimizing the value of your possessions is a major priority to consider. Let’s explore all the ways a consistent winter car cleaning regimen can help you get the most out of your favorite set of wheels.

Mitigating Rust and Other Maintenance Factors

Falling snow, road slush and other winter hazards can cause unnecessary wear on your car. This is especially apparent when you allow those substances to collect along your vehicle’s surface or underbelly. Take regular trips to the nearest car wash to maintain the strength of your paint and external components. The few dollars spent on a car wash are way more reasonable than the massive bill a mechanic would hand you. 

Preserve the Resale Value of Your Car 

Preowned vehicles cost a pretty penny these days, particularly when they are in good condition. When it comes time to visit the dealership, your mood will largely be determined by the state of your current automobile. A rusty car with chipped paint will see a decline in overall value. Thousands of dollars could be forfeited in a flash if you refrain from taking care of your car.  

A Reliable and Clean Water Supply

You may be tempted to wash the car yourself to save some additional cash. However, the debris, dirt, oil and other substances removed from your vehicle often flow into the sewer’s water supply in your neighborhood. Having dirty water in local sewers and bodies of water can lead to health complications and other concerns for everyone in the community. Calculating the direct cost is a bit uncertain, but the detrimental effects of tainted water far outweigh the money you could save with a DIY wash. 

Excess Water Usage

There is yet another reason to think twice about performing car washes at home. A professional drive-thru car wash will use less than 100 gallons of water on average for a thorough cleaning. A typical at-home car wash can use over 300 gallons. If you pay the water bill for your residence, you are better off taking your vehicle to an express car wash.

Make Winter Memories at the Car Wash

In addition to all the ways consistent winter car washes can save you money, a regular practice of visiting the drive-thru car wash is an ideal opportunity to spend some quality family time out of the house. It may be too cold to run around outdoors with your crew, but this time of year features beautiful snow-covered landscapes and plenty of sights to keep you occupied while driving about. Let Quick Quack’s friendly team perform this important vehicle maintenance step while you share wholesome time with your loved ones.

Quick Quack Can Protect Your Car Against Winter Road Salt

If you live in an area where temperatures plunge into the single digits in winter, you need to take steps to protect your car from road salt. The rock salt that municipalities use to deice roads in winter has crystals far larger than the table salt you sprinkle on your French fries, and they can damage your paint and create rust. Fortunately, all you have to do to prevent road salt from damaging your ride is visit a Quick Quack Car Wash. 

How Salt Damages Vehicles

Road salt keeps roadways from becoming treacherous by lowering the freezing point of water and preventing ice from forming, but it also causes unwanted damage to vehicles. Salt is a corrosive substance that can eat through wax and automobile paint if it is not washed off promptly, and it becomes even more damaging when it mixes with water. This creates a substance with powerful electrolyte properties that can eat through steel. Once rust takes hold, it usually spreads quickly.  

How Quick Quack Can Protect Your Car From Road Salt

It takes time for salt to do its damage, which means protecting your car’s paint and keeping rust at bay is easy as long as you take action right away. Whenever you drive on de-iced roads, or the weather forecast predicts snow or ice, just head over to your nearest Quick Quack Car Wash to add a protective layer of wax to your paint finish and clean salt from your undercarriage. You won’t have to wait long because our friendly car wash team will have you back on the road in about three minutes. You’ll love the way your car looks, or we will clean it again for free. Here are a few of the ways that a visit to a Quick Quack car wash can protect your car from road salt: 

  • Paint protection: Our three-step paint sealant process adds a layer of carnauba wax and silicone to your paint that creates a barrier of protection against salt. It will also leave your car looking great.
  • Undercarriage rust protection: Your chassis and undercarriage will be splattered by a corrosive salt and water mixture if you drive on deiced roads, but a visit to a Quick Quack express car wash will remove it. We will also spray your undercarriage with a rust inhibitor for added protection.
  • Brushless system: Quick Quack car washes have a completely brushless system. That means that a visit to Quick Quack won’t leave tiny scratches in your paint that salt can penetrate.
  • Advanced water filtration: Most car washes reuse water to lower their utility bills, which means they sometimes wash cars in water that contains traces of road salt. Quick Quack’s water reclamation system has a filtration process that removes soap, soil, oil and road salt.

Save Money With an Unlimited Car Wash Membership

If you live in an area where the roads are salted often, you’ll want to wash your car regularly to protect it from salt. A Quick Quack car wash membership takes the financial sting out of keeping your car looking like new because it gives you all the washes you want for one low price.

Expert Tips for Keeping Your Truck Looking Brand New

 With the cost of new trucks on the rise, buying one is a serious investment. You want to protect that investment and ensure you get the most out of your truck when you sell it later. With some solid tips from the experts, you can keep your truck looking brand-new no matter how long you own it. 

Wash Your Truck Often

Experts recommend that you wash your truck every two weeks. You pick up road dust and other debris just from driving to work, running errands, or off-roading on weekends. With a car wash membership for multiple vehicles, you save every time you wash any vehicle your family owns.  

Choose the Right Parking Spots

Nothing affects your truck’s value as much as body damage does. When you park, look for spots that are far removed from other vehicles, such as those near the back of the lot. Use caution parking under or around trees, too. Debris from their branches can easily ding your truck. 

Inspect Your Truck Weekly

Every week, take a few minutes to inspect your truck and look for anything stuck to the paint. You might find tree sap or bird feces left behind. If you can’t get to a car wash, use a little soap and water with a soft mitt or cloth to remove the debris from the paint. You may want to do a visual inspection every time you hop in your truck, too. Bird droppings are one of the worst things you can find on your truck. They eat through paint and leave behind dark stains. 

Clean the Interior

While it’s important to protect your truck’s exterior from the elements, you also need to protect the inside. Spray detailing products work great, but you should also consider visiting a car wash with vacuum machines. Use the vacuum to get rid of crumbs and other debris from between the seats and on the floors. You can also vacuum under the seats. 

Use Floor Mats

Most truck brands either include floor mats or let you add them when you buy your new truck. Floor mats go a long way toward preventing damage to your truck’s floors. You’ll find branded designs and others that use popular characters, designs or colors. They’re easy to take out and wipe off, and they cut down on how often you need to vacuum. 

Consider a Truck Cover

For the ultimate in protection, add a truck cover. These covers come in different designs that cover the cab and bed along with the hood. You don’t need to worry about bird droppings, tree sap or wild animals scratching the paint. It’s easy to take off the cover and tuck it into the bed when you need to drive the truck. 

All these tips help you protect and preserve your truck to keep it looking brand new. Trust Quick Quack when you want to wash your new truck monthly, daily or even weekly.
