WOODIE’S WAS SHACK MOBILE APP

As the Woodie’s Wash Shack car wash franchise began to grow, they wanted to create a mobile app that reflected their values of making customer service the number one priority. To make this happen, they partnered with the digital agency at Gravity Jack to develop a dynamic app that is home to several best-in-class features. Whether users were frequent members or simply first-time visitors wanting to learn more about Woodie’s car wash services — Gravity Jack worked hard to ensure the Woodie’s Wash Shack mobile app has it all!

In addition to finding the closest wash shack, the Woodie’s application lets members set up and edit a user profile where they can enter payment information and preload their account with funds. Whenever a user wants a car wash, they select from a variety of Woodie’s signature washes — generating a unique QR code that is easily scanned before the wash. On top of making visits to Woodies seamless, the app tracks the number of car washes a user has purchased for a rewards program. The app’s features don’t stop there! Users can gift car washes to friends and family, contact Woodie’s customer service team, and even receive push notifications to stay up to date on all things Woodie’s Wash Shack-related.

Within the application user’s will find a series of tabs that will help them navigate these features.

  • Account setup/editing: Lets users easily change login credentials, add multiple payment methods, and update vehicle information

  • Membership Flexibility: Allows Woodie’s members to change their membership tier at any time while providing additional information about their specific wash plan
