GREEN CAR FREEBIES
FREE CAR WASHES FOR EVs AND HEVs
Yet another reason to hop on the hybrid car bandwagon early, free car washes for the rest of 2004 at the Studio City Hand Car Wash on Ventura Blvd.
They Clean Our Air - we clean their car
Excerpt: Press Release - December 19, 2003 Studio City.. Ed Begley Jr. and the owner of the Studio City Hand Car Wash, announce a new program whereby all electric and hybrid vehicles will receive a free car wash at the Studio City facility .
Begley, Jr., a noted actor, director, producer and longtime resident of Studio City, is a noted environmentalist. He drives an EV car and his wife drives a hybrid.
“Ed Begley, Jr. helps clean our air by driving a pollution free automobile”, said Ben Forat, owner of the carwash. “By offering free car washes to owners of these cars, we are offering a small incentive for people to purchase or lease a pollution-free car. We are also saying thank you to the Begleys and others, for helping to reduce the smog levels which are a serious danger to the health for all of us .”
The program will take effective immediately, and last through all of 2004.
I'm hoping they'll continue it after that as well (though I don't know if I'll ever get over there to take advantage of it with my Prius).
Studio City Car Wash Address: 11514 Ventura Blvd, Studio City, CA 91604 Phone: (818) 980-8999
