About IMO Car Wash
IMO Autopflege GmbH, headquartered in Düsseldorf, is the German subsidiary of IMO Car Wash, one of the largest car wash service providers in Europe and Australia. The company was founded in 1965 with the opening of its first location in Germany; today IMO operates over 700 locations worldwide, including more than 279 in Germany. The locations operate car wash tunnels (drive-through) and self-service wash systems. The wash tunnels are designed and built by the company itself, including handcrafted foam brushes for paint protection. The company's own developed care products include Triple Foam, Ultra HD and Ceramic XTR; programs offer wax sealing, underbody wash and active drying. Digital services such as the IMO app, subscriptions and Quick Pay via QR code complement the offering; B2B customers are served separately. Up to 80% of water is recycled, and energy- and water-saving high-pressure modules plus an intelligent lighting system reduce consumption at the self-service locations.
