Behind Lady Rich Express
Car Wash

At Lady Rich Express Car Wash, we're more than just another car wash – we're a local business built on genuine passion for cars and unwavering commitment to our community in Lebanon, New Hampshire.

Lady Rich Express Car Wash opened its doors in April 2024, but our story began long before that. Founded by Renee Costa, our car wash was born from a big dream, a passion for clean cars and a simple observation. While working at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, Renee would walk through the parking lot and see thousands of dirty cars every day – vehicles that deserved better care.

She would look at all the dirty cars in the parking lot and think, 'I could be cleaning these muddy cars if only I had a car wash,'. That vision became reality when she decided to focus full-time on creating something special for the Upper Valley community and began working on her business plan.

What started as a single express tunnel has already grown into a thriving business serving hundreds of customers daily. We're not slowing down either – our expansion plans include two touchless bays, two self-service bays, a waiting room, and a dedicated detailing facility.

"Got an excellent car wash here for just $18! The service was wonderful and they even hand-dried the car to make sure it looked great. She was super friendly and clearly takes a lot of pride in her work. You can tell she cares about doing things well because she cares about her customers and employees. I’ll definitely be back!"

— Alan W.
"For customer service, I give this place an 11 out of 10! I live off a dirt road and my car was absolutely filthy when I brought it in—I wish I had a before picture to add to this review. The owner helped me get it into tip top shape, and I don’t think it’s been this clean since I bought it! I will absolutely be back!"

— Sarah C.
"Lady Rich car wash is the best! They all attend to the finer details with a smile, just like in times when people were happy! My car has never looked so good after a wash. Don't forget to have a few $'s on you to leave a tip at the end of the hand wipe down."
