History of Shur-Kleen Car Wash

After realizing the need in Thurston County for a car wash, Shirley and Ron Ryder built the first Shur-Kleen in Lacey in April of 1985. In February of 1988 they opened a second location on the west side of Olympia. In June of 1993, Shur-Kleen became incorporated with the Ryder family members becoming its corporate officers.

In November of 1996, Shur-Kleen’s next wash opened in Bremerton, WA. Then in July 1998, Andrew Ryder, son of Ron and Shirley, bought an existing wash and remodeled it in Lakewood, WA. He introduced something that none of the other Shur-Kleen’s had offered before, extra services including drying down and cleaning the inside of the customer’s vehicle on the exit end of the wash. The extra services were so successful that most of the Shur-Kleen Car Washes have since followed Lakewood’s example converting to the “flex-serve” car wash model.

The fifth location was the former Microwash Car Wash in Mill Creek, WA. It was purchased, remodeled and reopened in 2002 and is now called Mill Creek Shur-Kleen Car Wash. It is the first Shur-Kleen located north of Seattle and is owned and operated by Sherry and Nick Bazei, Ron and Shirley’s daughter and son-in-law.

The most recently opened car wash is the Ft. Lewis Shur-Kleen that opened in December of 2004. Upon opening, it became the most successful Shur-Kleen which required a full service canopy to keep up with the growing demands for interior services. At this time, Andrew’s wife, Liberty joined in the family business. Along with the tunnel car wash locations, there are also two Shur-Kleen self-serve washes in the Bremerton area.

Although Ron and Shirley are still a valuable resource to the businesses, in 2009 Andrew and Liberty Ryder purchased the Shur-Kleen Corporation and now own and operate all the locations with the exception of Mill Creek, which is still owned by Nick and Sherry Bazei.

Thanks to great customers and team members, we look forward to continued success and growth! As we look into the future, we will be continuing our efforts to update all the Shur-Kleen Car Washes to the most environmentally friendly products, services and equipment possible.
