History of Marshall's Car Wash in San Antonio, Texas explained.

Marshall's Car Wash was established in 1981 as a car wash and detail shop with an 8 bay self-service car wash facility with a gross building area of 3,648 square feet. The car wash is equipped with typical wand and brush equipment which features triple foam conditioner. Interior bays have glazed tile wall covers. The structure is steel frame construction with steel rafters and corrugated metal for the roof cover. There are two change machines. A vacuum canopy was located to the rear of the main car wash building. (Ref: https://images2.loopnet.com/d2/VgMvsu5-M3Jpi4B4Zvs4jT8h2d4C8yC_yoLlbIRw7Cg/document.pdf)

Marshall's Car Wash was located on land owned by Betty Jane Krahn. Betty Jane Krahn sold Marshall's Car Wash to Rum Cay LLC on December 20, 2017. (Ref: Bexar County Deeds, Document Number 20170250143)

What led to the decline of Marshall's Car Wash was the business being sold to new owners who did not take care of maintenance and upkeep. One reviewer said, “I've brought my cars here always a great place, but recent new owners don't take care of shit. Foam brushes not working, vacuums missing heads, suction is horrible. I'm out. Time to find a new spot.” (Ref: https://reviews.birdeye.com/marshalls-car-wash-156057551092084)

Marshall's Car Wash shut down in 2020. Rum Cay LLC has sold the property and car wash to a handful of owners over the years. Rum Cay LLC and Jake Lamb currently own the car wash and property. So Jake Lamb has not done anything with the car wash and property as he wants to sell it. The car wash sits abandoned and unused. (Ref: Bexar County Deeds, Document Number 20220116849)

Marshall's Car Wash was located at 8373 Eckhert Road, San Antonio, Texas, US 78240. The phone numbers were 210-680-2141 and 210-690-6256. (Ref: https://homemetry.com/house/8373+ECKHERT+RD,+San+Antonio+TX)
