Baxter, MN – (February 27, 2025) –On Saturday, March 8th, from 8 AM to 12 PM, Baxter, MN, residents can enjoy a FREE car wash at either of the ZIPS Car Wash locations in Baxter as ZIPS shows appreciation to the community who helped avert and restore their Universal Drive location following fire damage in December 2024.

Customers are asked to enter wash code 2810 for a Free Basic Car Wash at the event. Complimentary vacuums, spray cleaner and towels are available for use on site following the free car wash.

“We were able to get all updates and repairs completed by the end of January and we’ve been waiting for the weather to improve to offer this community day to our loyal customers who have been patient with us as we have worked to repair the damages from our recent fire,” said Kyle Payne, ZIPS District Manager for Baxter. “We are grateful for the good citizen who called 9-1-1 for us on the night the fire blazed after our store was already closed. We’re extremely thankful for the local first responders who assisted in getting the fire contained and put out quickly. This free wash event is our way of thanking the community for being such good citizens.”

ZIPS is extending car wash gift cards to the local firefighters and free air fresheners and key chains at the event (while supplies last) so customers can come experience the restored facility. These offers will be available at both Baxter locations. 

“We want to thank our local customers and team and especially our ZIPS Unlimited Members for their patience as we’ve worked diligently to get our Universal Drive site back open and in better shape than it was before,” said Rebecca Latacz, Chief Marketing Officer, ZIPS Car Wash. “We are proud to serve Baxter and look forward to showing our appreciation at our free wash event.”
