Can your car wash do this?
No other digital sign lets you display personalized messages or integrate with your tunnel controller
The car wash industry is switching to digital signage, but nobody knows what to do with it. There are vendors still snail mailing designs on USB sticks. It’s a waste of money and it’s slow.
We’re thinking about the future, toward a fully automated car wash. And we’ve already solved some of the first problems: loading and unloading with a personal touch.
Our signs greet customers by name, thanks to our exclusive use of omniX Labs and their vehicle recognition software. You can also integrate with your tunnel controller to load cars or even confirm the wash they purchased.
And we’re just getting started. Keep scrolling.
The first step is to choose a content package
Actually, first you need a digital sign, but almost any outdoor monitor will work. We recommend you buy ours for reasons we explain later on this page. But the content is what customers remember.
We have three options for content management software depending where you want to put your sign and what you want to do with it. There’s slightly different pricing and hardware that comes with each of these. The prices range from $39/month to $299/month. If you contact us, we’ll give you all the details on that.
Unattended Loading and Unloading
This is the package you need if you want a digital sign to help customers enter or exit your car wash tunnel. We integrate it with your tunnel controller or with a sensor, such as a tire switch or photo eye. Since it works with simple voltage inputs, we can get really creative with this package.
Instant Content Changes
The worst part about static signage is that you can’t change it and it doesn’t move. Unfortunately there are car washes buying digital signs and treating them like static ones. If you’re doing that, you’re leaving money on the table. Our customers get a content management system called Howler that lets them update their menu boards with seasonal specials and animated graphics whenever they want. No USB sticks.
'Hi, Diane, welcome back!'
We’re the only company offering this technology. Sonny’s doesn’t have it. DRB doesn’t have it. Only Wolford has it. We can see who is looking at your sign and talk to them, by name, in real time. We’ve partnered with omniX Labs for this exclusive offering.

Rugged outdoor signage for any environment
Extreme heat and cold. Hurricanes. Lava Bath. Your sign will work.
Whether you’re under the Arizona sun or a pile of Lake Effect Snow, it doesn’t matter. We use top-shelf Samsung monitors rated for extreme conditions, and we throw in a 5-year white glove warranty for peace of mind.
What’s more, we offer stainless steel and powder-coated aluminum mounts made in America. We’ve heard about other signs rusting. Ours don’t do that.
Certified for any weather
The sign is certified IP56-rated, meaning it’s designed specifically to withstand the elements and fully perform in heat, cold, rain, snow and dust.
Humidity blockers
With four fans in the downside of the signage, external humidity issues such as condensation are greatly reduced.
Still bright in direct sunlight
This is why we sell Samsung monitors. They have Magic Protection Glass that cuts glare and offers great visibility no matter what. It also lets you see the content even if you’re wearing polarized sunglasses.
Tough against collision and vandals
The Magic Protection Glass is also tempered, with IK10-rated durability. We’ve heard you can hit the screen with a hammer, but we don’t have the guts to test it.
Auto-brightness display
These signs have brightness of up to 4,000 nits, but there’s a built-in auto brightness sensor to help with your electric bill.
Vivid, high-def picture
The picture is high definition with enhanced red, green and blue shades for incredible color accuracy.
5-year white glove warranty
We give every customer Samsung’s 5-year white glove warranty. So if anything at all goes wrong, they will replace your monitor, usually next day.
