Chugach Alaska Invests in CYBER Express Carwash Chain

Anchorage already has plenty of touchless carwash options. What CYBER Express adds, and what attracted Chugach Alaska’s attention, is an approach to sustainability.

“Through Chugach’s investment in Cyber Express, we have the opportunity to bring novel carwash technology rooted in environmental responsibility to the Anchorage community while continuing to diversify our portfolio of investments and creating value for our Alaska Native shareholders,” says Angie Astle, president of Chugach Investment Holdings, under which the investment will be managed.

CYBER Express promises to reclaim wash water, using 60 percent less compared to washing a car at home. Advanced filtration allows the water to be recycled for the property’s landscaping. Soaps and other chemicals are all dye-free and biodegradable.

Inside the bays, glass wall construction lets in natural light, and LED lighting cuts down on electricity consumption.

“We’ve baselined the best in the industry for water usage per vehicle and energy usage and look forward to making future announcements regarding our commitment to improve industry standards,” says Horstkoetter. “CYBER Express is designed with the proud car owner in mind, offering superior cleaning technology and shorter wait times. From our simple yet sophisticated aesthetic, to our state-of-the-art facilities and architecture, we’ve designed a customer experience that separates us from the rest in all the right ways.”

CYBER Express and Chugach Alaska are on track to open additional locations within the first calendar year.
