Margies Car Wash To Open In Sidney

Margies Car Wash, a state-of-the-art touchless car wash, will be open by Thanksgiving. Located next to Nick Jones Real Estate on the truck route, the facility will be open 24/7 and well lit with 24 hour security cameras. All traffic will enter and exit from 2nd St.

The car wash features two touchless bays which can accommodate up to 4 door long box duallys with a total height of no more than 7’ 1”, plus two oversize hand wash bays with 14’ X 12’ doors. The hand wash bays have hand dryers and doors, making it usable even in cold temperatures. “Some car washes have gone to having attendants,” Roger Byer said. “With the labor force shortage here, we opted to install an extra dryer with the rinse package in order to get the vehicles dry. Plus, there’s nothing touching the vehicle to scratch it.” All bays accept $1 bills or credit cards. There are also six vacuums with three carpet cleaners which take cash only. A change machine is on site, which takes credit cards or cash. Depending on how dirty the vehicle is, customers can choose from $12, $10, $9 or $8 automatic washes. The higher priced washes feature better coating and drying.

Gift/fleet cards will be available through the vending machine at the car wash immediately upon opening, and at B&B Builders, 108 2nd St. N.E. starting Monday, November 26. In denominations of $20, $50 and $100, the cards will make perfect gifts, and stocking stuffers, for high school students as well as anyone else who drives a vehicle. Companies can purchase the fleet cards and have a prepaid card per vehicle, eliminating the need for cash or charge accounts. Arrangements can be made to suit the customer. The cards are easily reloaded with cash or credit card at the B&B Builders office. Just call B&B Builders at 406-482-4401 with any questions.

Byers built Margies Car Wash because they felt Sidney could use a new car wash, and have done their utmost to make it the best in town. “There’s nothing more we could buy to make this better,” Roger stated. “We have used the best that’s available.”

The car wash is named in honor of Don and Roger’s mother, Margie. She will get to see the facility in May when she comes to Sidney for her granddaughter Abbe’s graduation.

B&B Builders would like to thank Nick Jones Real Estate for their patience, tolerating the mess. It worked well that the city was replacing the water main at the same time as the car wash was being built. The city plans to have the street in decent driving condition and ready for the opening of the car wash.
