3930 Grass Valley Hwy
Auburn, CA 95602

The proposed express car wash development at 3930 Grass Valley Highway features a modern ±4,200 SF facility designed for efficiency, sustainability, and customer convenience. The building utilizes a state-of-the-art Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) system, providing exceptional durability, energy efficiency, and sound insulation that meets California’s Net Zero standards. Its two-story design houses all major mechanical systems — including vacuum producers, air compressors, and blower motors — on the upper level to significantly reduce operational noise and improve safety and service flow. The 120-foot tunnel integrates an advanced water recycling system capable of reclaiming up to 80% of total water usage, with an engineered option for a closed-loop discharge-free system based on site conditions. The site will include 13 architecturally designed vacuum arches with SunBrella shade canopies, offering dual-side service, ADA-accessible stalls, and a clean, customer-friendly layout. Access to the property is streamlined through an existing Highway 49 deceleration lane, providing safe ingress and egress without requiring roadway modifications. Attractive drought-tolerant landscaping and modern site improvements complement the building’s contemporary design, creating a best-in-class express wash facility that combines technology, efficiency, and visual appeal
