Lansing – Burnham Car Wash reopened this week after being closed for over two years. Lansing Mayor Dan Podgorski and village officials attended the grand reopening last Friday at 18604 S. Burnham Ave, across from Thornton Fractional South High School. The grand opening features a week of FREE car washes from December 10^th through 16^th.  "Think of it as an early Christmas present," said Ron Baader, owner of the Burnham Car Wash. "It’s a great way for me to introduce Burnham Car Wash to the neighborhood."

The Burnham Car Wash opening represents a major redevelopment success for the Village of Lansing, which has provided tax breaks to this project. "We are pleased to see this redevelopment happen so quickly," said Mayor Podgorski. "This property has been transformed from an eyesore to an attractive and productive part of the community," he added. In addition to external improvements like new landscaping, fencing, and pavement, Burnham Car Wash has also been transformed on the inside. "Most all of the washing equipment has been replaced or upgraded," said Baader. "People will especially like the new drying process that combines new blower equipment with hand drying."

Car wash prices range from $5.99-$9.99 with a variety of discounts available. "We have already started running $1.00 off coupons in the newspaper and at the grocery store," said Baader. "In addition, you get a free car wash for every five car washes you purchase." Baader also promised more events in the future. "We plan on running school and community fundraisers in the spring," he said.

Burnham Car Wash is also extending its incentives to municipal and company fleets. It will service the Lansing Police and is in discussions with several local fleet owners.

The Burnham Car wash currently employs 10 but is still hiring. "Winter is our busy season, so we are still looking for some good workers with positive attitudes," said Baader.

The car wash is open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sundays.
