That was still in the days of washing your car yourself with the wands. All the washes around here now are automated conveyor types and require a lot of capital to build or buy I suspect. As others have posted, I think times have changed.

I pay 19.95 a month for unlimited washes at a nearby car wash. Drive up, it reads your tag, a guy guides you into the conveyor tracks, hand washes the windshield, grill and bumpers and off you go then to the covered stalls with serious vacuums and microfiber cloths for drying... that is hard to beat as handwashing a F-150 crew cab is a real pain as you need ladders.
$20 a month? The guys here charge $80 for unlimited monthly.
