Keeping your car clean could become a simpler monthly expense with the launch of Maxol Wash Club, a digital subscription offering up to 10 washes per billing month. Available through the Maxol loyalty app, the service starts at €19.95 for a regular wash subscription, rising to €27.95 for premium washes. Members scan their app to use the service at 59 participating Maxol locations. Maxol describes the launch as Ireland’s first digitally enabled car wash subscription service. It comes as the company prepares to expand its EV charging network and brings food and grocery delivery to more stores. How does Maxol Wash Club work? The subscription replaces individual car wash purchases with a monthly payment. Once signed up through the app, members can scan to wash at participating sites, up to their monthly allowance.
