Caliber Opens New Ocala Washes

November 30, 2022

Caliber Car Wash is proud to announce the opening of two new locations in Ocala, Florida.

The home of Caliber’s first car wash, Ocala, holds a special place in the company’s history. That’s one reason why Caliber continues to invest in the community.

In addition to its Silver Springs Blvd location, Caliber opened a new wash in the growing Maricamp area next to Wendy’s. It also announced the opening of the upgraded Ocala Auto Spa location on Pine. This wash underwent a tunnel and property overhaul to ensure customers receive quick, quality cleans. Ocala is the first city to host three or more Caliber locations.

To celebrate the opening of the 815 S Pine Ave and the 125 Bahia Avenue Ct washes, customers will receive free car washes until December 11, 2022, at both locations. They can also take advantage of Limitless plan sales, which allow them to get their first month of unlimited washes for only $10! Limitless members are able to use their membership at all Caliber locations throughout the city and the country.

In addition to the opening specials, customers will be able to enjoy all the Caliber detailing tools they’ve come to love, including complimentary air fresheners, vacuums, cleaners, towels, tire air, detailing air (for streak-free shines and to blow crumbs out of hard-to-reach-places), and an automatic carpet mat cleaner.

How to Wash Car Mats

September 8, 2022

As careful as we may try to keep the inside of our car clean, dirt and dust still accumulate. Oil, crumbs, and other substances will stick to the bottom of our shoes, inevitably track dirt inside our car, and end up on our floor mats. Over time, both rubber and cloth mats will retain dirt, causing discoloration and lack of appeal. Don’t worry though, here’s your go-to guide for cleaning dirty mats!

How do I clean carpet floor mats?

Locate the floor mat cleaner at your local Caliber Car Wash. If you cannot find it, be sure to ask an employee! They’re always happy to help.
Remove the floor mat from your car.
Place your carpet floor mat face-down on the silver tray.
Press the “start” button on the machine, and slowly begin to insert your floor mat.
In about 10 seconds, your floor mat will appear in the bottom tray of the machine.
Repeat for all other floor mats!

How do I clean hard or rubber floor mats?

Remove your rubber car mat from the vehicle.
Shake the mat and try to remove as much loose debris as possible.
Vacuum both sides of the floor mat, getting them as clean as possible.
Spray Caliber’s multi-purpose cleaner on your mat.
Grab a microfiber towel from the “clean towel” basket and begin wiping the rubber floor mat.
Use the detailing air to get in between those hard-to-reach areas on the mat.
Reinstall the mat and repeat with the rest of your rubber mats!

How can I clean my cloth floor mats at home?

Remove your cloth floor mats from your car.
Vacuum both sides of the mat.
Experts recommend using a light, soapy cleaning agent mixed with baking soda to remove any grime, stains, or odors. You can also use a steam cleaner, pressure washer, or washing machine based on your vehicle’s type of floor mats.
Vacuum the floor mat again.
Let the mat dry thoroughly.
Reinstall each mat.

How can I clean my rubber mats at home?

Remove the mat.
Shake the mat to remove any additional debris.
Rinse the mat with water.
Apply soap to the mat and scrub off any grime, dirt, or debris.
Rinse off the soap.
Let the mat dry thoroughly.
Reinstall the mat and repeat for all other rubber mats!

If your mat has rips or tears, consider handwashing to prevent more damage. No matter how you choose to clean your mats, be sure to do them frequently. Keeping your car mats clean makes your car feel and smell fresher.

Caliber Continues Its Metro-Atlanta Expansion

September 2, 2022

Caliber Car Wash Acquires Two Washes as It Continues Its Metro-Atlanta Expansion

Caliber to have seven Atlanta market locations with the recent acquisitions

ATLANTA – Caliber Car Wash announced today the acquisition of two Atlanta-based Autobelll® Car Wash locations in Mableton and Acworth, Georgia. The purchase adds to Caliber’s expanding footprint throughout the Southeast and Texas.

“Caliber is committed to providing convenient locations for our customers and members, and we look forward to providing even more locations in our home market,” said Mac McCall, Caliber’s Chief Development Officer (CDO). “With over 100 new wash locations under development, our goal is to expand in existing markets to provide additional value to our Limitless members who can use all Caliber washes at no additional cost.”

The new washes will be converted to an express model and open as Caliber’s sixth and seventh wash in the larger metro area. The model allows customers to quickly wash their vehicle in a tunnel and includes complimentary detailing tools for interior cleaning, including air fresheners, vacuums, cleaners, towels, tire pressure air, and more.

The former Autobelll® Car Wash locations at 3325 Cobb Parkway NW in Acworth and 4865 Floyd Road in Mableton will undergo upgrades starting September 2022.

“Selling the two stores in Mableton and Acworth will allow us to deploy that capital in a new market to be announced soon,” says Carl Howard, President, Autobelll® Car Wash.

Caliber will soon announce new opening dates for each wash.

By utilizing state-of-the-art equipment, Caliber delivers environmentally friendly car washes without sacrificing quality. The company currently operates 27 washes and expects continued rapid growth over the coming years due to the growing demand for express car wash services. Its goal focuses on providing the industry’s best customer service and wash quality.

“Being based out of Atlanta, it is vital that we continue to show our neighbors our commitment to improving people’s lives,” McCall said. “These new washes will allow more career and service opportunities for our team members as we continue to focus on job growth and community outreach in all markets. We’re looking forward to providing even more of those opportunities right here in Atlanta in the coming years.”

How to Wash a Car

August 19, 2022

Nothing makes your car look better than a nice wash! Washing your car can be done for the appearance, but it is equally as important to keep your car washed and cleaned for optimal longevity.

According to experts, washing your car should be done every other week if it’s driven moderately and not exposed to the elements. Alternatively, if you drive often or your car is parked outside, you should consider washing your car weekly to prevent paint damage. To get the best shine and paint protection, Caliber offers numerous products that you can receive by visiting one of our washes. However, if you enjoy the therapeutic component of hand-washing your car, we have some tips!

Rinse your car thoroughly before beginning

To protect your paint, it is imperative to rinse the car thoroughly with clean water before applying cleaner. This will rinse away any loose debris.

Do not use household cleaners

Household cleaners, such as dishwasher soap or hand soap, can cause your paint to age early. It is better to use a product that is made for cars to ensure the protection of the wax that is already bonded to your paint.

Use a separate sponge for your tires and wheels

The tires and wheels are typically one of the dirtiest parts of a car. They may be coated with sand, brake dust, and other environmental debris that could cause scratches to your paint if the sponge isn’t replaced. The key is to use clean brushes and water so you’re washing away dirt, not adding to it.

Do not wash your car when the body is hot

The body of your car can become hot after being recently driven or from sitting in the sun for long periods of time. Heat speeds the drying of soap and water, making washing more difficult and increasing the chances that spots or deposits will form. Consider using a tunnel or shaded area while washing your car, like Caliber’s express tunnel.

Do not move the sponge in circles

If there is any loose debris on the sponge, washing your car in a circular motion can cause marks. Instead, move the sponge in a vertical or horizontal motion across the entire car.

Do not let your car air dry

Letting your car air dry can cause watermarks from the minerals in hard water. It is equally as important to use a microfiber towel instead of an abrasive towel or other material that can leave hairline scratches in the paint. At Caliber, we offer specialized towels and detailing air or compressed air to blow streaks off side mirrors and window without leaving towel marks.

For a quick, quality wash that will also save, on average 40 gallons per wash, visit one of our locations for a quick showroom shine every time! You’ll be in and out of our tunnel in around three minutes and have all the interior detailing tools you’ll need for that perfect clean.
