Take a ride through a ‘tunnel of terror’ car wash at these Michigan locations

This October, select car washes across the US are transforming into haunted horror tunnels, and yes, your vehicle gets squeaky clean while you scream.

The Tunnel of Terror is back, at select locations of Tommy’s Express Car Wash, combining a full-service car wash with a fright-filled experience featuring costumed characters, eerie soundtracks, and lights.

Each ride through the tunnel lasts about 3 minutes, as the car wash slows to its creepiest crawl.

What if I want a regular car wash?

During Tunnel of Terror hours, participating sites will only offer the haunted tunnel experience, so if you’re just looking for a quiet, late-night wash, you’ll want to come back during regular business hours.
