Car Wash Bonds

What Is a Car Wash Bond?

New York City and the state of California require car wash owners to file surety bonds to ensure payment of employee wages. Car washes in these jurisdictions must be bonded to be legally licensed and operational. 

These bonds also protect consumers by making sure car wash operators maintain healthy and safe environments.
