Jet Pro Auto Wash Takes Off

Ron and Connie Prynne started with an idea, a location and a dirty GMC. This was the birth of Jet Pro Auto Wash and the beginning of a family tradition. The idea started to formulate in 2002. Ron and Connie traveled to Wenatchee to visit Connie’s mother and desired an efficient and convenient place to wash their car. From that point on, the plan to open a car wash took off at full speed.

The first thing the Prynne’s did was seek professional help. “The first check we wrote was to a marketing company,” Ron said. They hired J Russell Creative Marketing to come up with a name for the car wash, design a custom identity, develop building graphics and create a marketing plan. Ron, a commercial airline pilot, was the inspiration behind the name and logo of Jet Pro Auto Wash. The marketing also fell in line with the airline theme, including First Class service, a quick wash and a friendly, knowledgeable staff. “J Russell did such a great job with our corporate identity that people often ask if we are a franchise,” Ron said.

After researching over 50 different car washes in the Northwest, the Prynne’s chose a Hanna Detail system and focused in on the North Wenatchee Avenue location. Ron and Connie Prynne invested in the best manufacturer of car wash systems in order to provide the very best to their customers. “We chose Hanna Car Wash Systems because they have been around since 1960, they are distributed worldwide and they have an excellent reputation.” Ron said.

State-of-the-art equipment is a small part of what makes Jet Pro Auto Wash unique to the Wenatchee area. Jet Pro also offers competitive prices, debit card options and professional and uniformed employees. “We want to make it a pleasant experience. At Jet Pro, we want to offer a nice, neat, clean facility for customers with good service, excellent employees and a clean, dry car that comes out the other end.” This philosophy is exactly what customers of Jet Pro Auto Wash have come to appreciate and rely on.
