The Auto Spa held the Haunted Car Wash on October 20, 21, 26, 27, and 28 at their facility where cars filled with families drove through a gamut of ghosts, goblins, and demons before having their cars washed by more ghosts, goblins, and demons. This was the second year the Auto Spa had held the Halloween fundraiser.
The costumed Halloween characters that interacted with the cars and their occupants were volunteers and employees of the Kleen Wave Spa, according to a representative of the Kleen Wave Auto Management Team.
According to the Kleen Wave Auto Spa website, each automobile paid 20 dollars per car for the event, with the Auto Spa donating a portion of the proceeds to the three community programs.
