Where to Find Mister Car Wash Locations in 21 States
Mister Car Wash locations reach fewer than half of US states.
Mister had 548 washes in 21 states at the end of 2025, led by Texas with 98, Florida with 86 and California with 66.
A big state total doesn’t promise one near you. Tampa has 62 within 100 miles, Miami has three and Dallas has one.
Mister’s own finder can pin down a specific wash, as long as you search a city and not a state.
Mister Car Wash locations in all 21 states
This table comes from Mister’s annual report, which counts operating washes by state at the end of 2025.
| State | Washes |
|---|---|
| Alabama | 13 |
| Arizona | 24 |
| California | 66 |
| Colorado | 12 |
| Florida | 86 |
| Georgia | 22 |

| Tennessee | 16 |
| Texas | 98 |
| Utah | 24 |
| Washington | 19 |
| Wisconsin | 18 |
| Total | 548 |
Texas, Florida and California hold 250 of those, or 46%. Add Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico, Arizona and Utah and eight states hold 393, or 72%.
- 514 washes at the end of 2024
- 29 new builds during 2025
- 5 bought in Lubbock, Texas
The map didn’t grow during 2025, since both year-end counts cover the same 21 states. Washes keep opening, though, so the finder can run ahead of this table. It shows four in Illinois, where the report counts three.
The 29 states without a Mister
That split uses the Census Bureau’s four regions, which put Maryland in the South. Pennsylvania’s six are the only washes in the Northeast, and none is in Philadelphia or Pittsburgh.
These 29 states had no Mister at the end of 2025, and neither did Washington, DC.
- New York, New Jersey and all six New England states
- Delaware, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky and both Carolinas
- Ohio, Indiana, Kansas, Nebraska and both Dakotas
- Arkansas, Louisiana and Oklahoma
- Montana, Wyoming, Nevada and Oregon
- Alaska and Hawaii
No new state looks close. The finder’s Coming Soon filter listed 10 washes when we read it, all in Texas, Colorado, Arizona, Minnesota, Florida, Michigan and California. If your state is on the list above, our Quick Quack state list may show a closer chain.
A big state total can still mean a long drive
State counts hide how tightly Mister clusters. These are the nearest open washes the finder listed for some large cities.
| City | Nearest wash |
|---|---|
| Houston | 1.7 miles, in Houston |
| Tampa | 3 miles, in Tampa |
| Minneapolis | 5 miles, in Columbia Heights |
| Los Angeles | 6.2 miles, in Alhambra |
| Dallas | 11 miles, in Mesquite |
| Detroit | 15.8 miles, in Fraser |
| Miami | 17.5 miles, in Miami |
| Chicago | 28.1 miles, in Lockport |
| Memphis | None within 100 miles |
| Columbus, Ohio | None within 100 miles |
Florida is the sharpest case. The finder lists 62 open washes within 100 miles of Tampa, running out to Orlando and Cape Coral, but only three within 100 miles of Miami. Drivers down there should also read our Miami car wash roundup.
Texas splits the same way, with 46 open within 37 miles of Houston and a single wash, in Mesquite, near Dallas. New Mexico has 18 within 20 miles of Albuquerque.
Six states have fewer than 10
In these states, a plan only helps if you live or work near a handful of towns.
| State | Towns with a wash |
|---|---|
| Maryland (2) | Millersville, Edgewater |
| Illinois (3) | Lockport, Rockford, Loves Park, Machesney Park |
| Pennsylvania (6) | Harrisburg, York, Lancaster, Ephrata, Reading |
| Idaho (8) | Boise, Meridian, Nampa |
| Mississippi (8) | Jackson, Brandon, Flowood, Ridgeland, Richland, Clinton, Meridian |
| Missouri (9) | Springfield, Republic |
How to find a Mister Car Wash near you
Check Mister’s location finder before you drive, because it also shows washes opened since the report.
- Type a city and state into the search box, or tap Use Your Current Location.
- Check that the map landed where you meant. Gold pins mark Full Service washes.
- Read the list under the map, which runs nearest first and reaches about 100 miles.
- Tap Filters for Full Service, Self-Serve Vacuums, Coming Soon or Open Now, then Update Results.
- Select the arrow beside a wash to open its page, with the phone number, each day’s hours and local prices.
Skip the state name. A search for Texas returned six washes, all in Abilene. The distances run from a point mid-state and the list stops at about 100 miles, so Houston never appears.
The box can also guess wrong. Jackson, MS landed on the Gulf Coast with an empty list, and the ZIP 39201 alone jumped to a street in Colorado. Typing Jackson, MS 39201 brought up all eight Mississippi washes, so use city, state and ZIP if the results look off.
An empty list with the map in the right place means no Mister within about 100 miles, as in Columbus, Ohio.
Selecting a row adds a Get Directions button. The closing time shown is for that day only, so check it on the day you plan to go.
What holds at all 548 washes
Few things are promised across the whole chain, going by the annual report, the membership terms and the help center.
- Each location sells express exterior washes and has exterior-only lanes.
- None sells gasoline or diesel.
- Any location can sell you a plan, move it to a new car or cancel it.
- Trailers and RVs can’t go through the tunnel.
Plans travel, with one limit. The help center promises washes at any location across the country, while the terms add “that provides such plan” and say plans depend on location.
Full Service memberships, for one, are sold only at select stores. Before a move or a long trip, check that the wash’s page lists your tier.
Canceling has its own cutoff, covered in our guide to ending a Mister plan.
Services and hours differ by wash
Inside cleaning is the biggest difference. Only 63 of the 548 were interior cleaning sites at the end of 2025, about 1 in 9, and the finder tags them Full Service.
Free vacuums come next. The help center says most locations have them, and the finder lists none at a few washes, such as Fiesta Park in Albuquerque and Lockport, Illinois. Full Service sites usually don’t list self-serve vacuums either, so filter for them if that’s why you’re going.
Tunnels differ as well. Mister gives an average height of 7 feet 2 inches and an average tire track width of 12.5 inches, and says to ask the local team if you’re unsure your vehicle fits.
Prices vary by location too, which is why each wash’s page shows its own. Our breakdown of Mister’s prices and plans has the tiers.
A few washes may carry another name. The terms list Take 5 sites in Lubbock, Texas, Rapid Xpress and Cruizers Express as acquired brands until they’re rebranded.
Closing time depends on the site
That pattern held on six location pages across New Mexico, Texas, Idaho, Michigan and Minnesota, with one exception. Nampa, Idaho stays open until 8 PM.
The finder agrees. Of the 239 open washes in our searches, 192 closed at 7 PM that weekday, 43 at 6 PM and 4 at 8 PM. None ran later, so late drivers will want our list of 24-hour car washes.
A plan pays off at two or three washes a month, so distance decides it for me. Three round trips from central Chicago to Lockport come to about 169 miles a month, and from central Miami, 105. Unless that wash sits on an existing commute, I’d skip the plan and pay per visit.
