TAMPA, Fla. (Nov. 19, 2025) — Big Dan’s Car Wash opens Nov. 19 at 3840 W. Fletcher Ave., with a mission to bring you excellent service and a convenient way to protect your vehicle amid skyrocketing car prices.
Kelley Blue Book reports that, for the first time, the cost of a new vehicle now averages more than $50,000. Even used cars are selling for $25,000.
There’s never been a more critical time to protect your current vehicle and with all the options we offer at Big Dan’s, it has never been easier to do so.
This month, we’re opening the first of two express washes on either end of Fletcher Avenue. The East Fletcher location should be ready by mid-2026. They join our current car washes off Dale Mabry in Tampa as well as locations in St. Pete and Pinellas Park.
The celebration for the West Fletcher opening this month starts with free washes for all for 17 days, from opening day through December 7.
This includes a best-in-class menu of free, self-service amenities such as vacuums with both wide and narrow heads, glass and interior cleaners, free use of microfiber towels and mat cleaning stations.
Customers who sign up for membership automatically are entered into a contest to win an unlimited membership for a year, as well as gift cards to surrounding businesses. Even better: Unlimited wash packages will be available for only $10 a month for the first three months during our free wash period.
As part of our commitment to supporting the communities we serve, Big Dan’s also is donating the first $5,000 in proceeds to Orlando’s Toy Drive, benefiting Children’s Home Network. Over the last 13 years, Orlando’s Toy Drive has raised more than $1.1 million in cash and gift cards as well as provided 10,800 bikes and 30,000-plus toys.
Says Jay Shadday, Big Dan’s president: “We’re thrilled to continue to expand in the Greater Tampa Bay market. This continued growth is a testament to our incredible team, and we’re excited to partner with these communities while delivering the exceptional service Big Dan’s is known for. With this expansion, Big Dan’s Unlimited Club members can easily use their membership at any of our convenient locations in the region.”
The express wash will be open from 7:30 a.m. until 7:30 p.m. seven days a week; payment is card only (no cash). There are Members Only Lanes with a license plate reader to save you time each visit.
And why do we encourage repeat visits to Big Dan’s? To help protect your vehicle. Consider:
The average commute time for a Tampa Bay motorist is just under 30 minutes. That’s a lot of dust and dirt.
- Our coastal waterways, a top amenity for those of us who love the local lifestyle, likewise comes with a lot of salt air, which adds to rust, corrosion and paint issues.
- And with new and used car prices soaring, we want to help you extend the life of your current ride.
Big Dan’s offers everything you need to help protect your vehicle: Frequent wash discounts, waxes, ceramic coating and graphene carbon coating.
