Car wash location data & API

What’s in the dataset

One record per self-service car wash. Every entry is curated: only genuine self-service (jet-wash / lance-bay) facilities are included — automatic roll-overs and staffed hand washes are excluded by policy — and coordinates point at the wash itself, not the forecourt or the operator’s head office.

The response also carries a providers array (operator id, name, brand colour, website and contact where published) and dataset metadata (count, builtAt, license).

Try it — the public sample

GET https://selfcarwashes.com/api/locations answers anonymously with every operator plus a spread sample of location records; a licence key (sent as Authorization: Bearer …) unlocks the full 13,779-record feed. Three records from the live sample:

How the data stays fresh

Automated weekly checks compare every multi-location operator’s own published location list against the directory and flag additions and closures; changes are verified manually before they land. Addresses are geocoded against official address registers where available, and most locations carry a manually-reviewed Street View link showing the actual wash bays. Latest data update: 2026-07-28.

Licensing

The dataset is licensed for navigation and mapping products, fleet and fuel-card services, equipment vendors, and market research. Three usual shapes:

• Evaluation — free

  The anonymous sample above plus this documentation. Enough to integrate against the schema before licensing.

• API access

  The full JSON feed with an API key — all countries or a market subset, refreshed as the dataset updates.

• Bulk export

  One-off or scheduled dumps (JSON or CSV) with fields and delivery to fit your pipeline.

Pricing depends on scope — markets, refresh cadence and redistribution rights — so tell us your use case and we’ll quote. The dataset is fingerprinted and monitored for unlicensed copying; bulk extraction without a licence is prohibited under the terms of use.
