With Sonny’s OneWash™, we offer the industry’s only complete suite of car wash business solutions. It’s everything you need to succeed. All from one partner. Sonny's is the world's largest manufacturer of conveyorized car wash equipment, parts, and supplies. Sonny's eight lines of business – consulting, college, equipment, vacuums, controls, marketing, chemistry, and parts combine to create OneWash, the industry's first and only complete car wash management suite designed to promote the growth of car wash businesses everywhere. With full tunnel systems in each of the 50 United States, and equipment in countries all over the world, Sonny's equipment delivers millions of clean, dry, shiny cars each year, around the globe. Sonny's legacy began in 1949 when founder, Sonny Fazio, built his first full-serve car wash. Upon retiring, he began manufacturing replacement parts and eventually equipment for his son's chain of 12 washes spanning three states. Engineered by a car wash operator for his family, Sonny manufactured equipment to do one thing — help his sons make more money washing cars. Soon, word got out and Sonny was flooded with orders for his reliable equipment that washed better, cost less, and produced a clean, dry, shiny car faster with less hassle and expense. That was the beginning of Sonny's The Car Wash Factory. Today, Sonny's is the industry leader, recognized and awarded by the International Car Wash Association for innovating new technologies to advance the industry with products proudly designed and built in the USA! We also have a full line of OEM parts for Hanna, Peco, PDQ, Belanger, Macneil, Ryko, and other car wash equipment manufacturers.
