Haunted car wash returns to Tommy’s Express locations across town
For $25, you can drive your car through, get Tommy’s best wash, and enjoy some haunting sights.
This year, haunted houses are not the only place to go for a terrifyingly good time. Tommy’s Express Richmond will transform into a Tunnel of Terror at all of its Richmond locations.
Starting this weekend, the express car wash will provide scary, sudsy fun. Masked employees will hide in the dark corners of the wash that will be illuminated in black lighting and special effects. Once you are inside, there is no telling what will jump out at your car.
For $25, you can drive your car through, get Tommy’s best wash, and enjoy some haunting sights.
And to add even more excitement to the wash, Tommy’s will be awarding one winner with a six-month membership of unlimited washes. To enter, just wear your Halloween costume, take a video while going through the wash, upload it to Facebook, and tag Tommy’s Express Richmond. The wash will choose a winner after the weekend.
Tommy’s Express Haunted Car Wash will be taking place the last two weekends of the month, October 21st, 22nd, 28th, 29th, 30th, and 31st, from 6 – 10 pm.
