The Car Wash Show Exhibitor List

The Car Wash Show gives the car wash and vehicle care industry a focused place to meet. It brings together equipment makers, chemical suppliers, software firms, and service providers. In 2027, the event is scheduled for Apr 26-28 at the Music City Center in Nashville, TN, USA. For teams that sell to car washes, this is a practical chance to meet buyers in person. For buyers, it is a way to compare options in one trip. The show is not only about large machines. It also covers payment systems, customer software, tunnel parts, vacuums, and cleaning products. Almost 400 exhibitors are expected, so planning matters. Use the exhibitor list before you travel to set priorities.

• Meet suppliers in one place
• Compare car wash equipment
• Plan meetings before the show

The floor at The Car Wash Show usually covers a wide mix of products. You can find tunnel systems, in-bay automatics, self-serve gear, vacuums, water treatment, and dryers. Chemicals, waxes, soaps, and protectants are also common. Many booths focus on payment terminals, kiosks, license plate recognition, and mobile apps. Software for memberships, scheduling, and reporting is another major category. Some suppliers bring parts, hoses, brushes, and control systems. Others offer financing, insurance, marketing, and staffing tools. Because the show sits inside Automotive & Commercial Vehicles, it also attracts firms from the wider vehicle care market. The range means you can study full systems and small add-ons in one visit.

• Equipment and chemicals
• Software and payment systems
• Parts and service providers

Sales teams can use the exhibitor list to plan outreach before, during, and after the show. Before the event, you can sort companies by product type, region, or size. That helps you pick which booths to visit and which people to contact. At the show, you can collect names, notes, and follow-up tasks. After the show, the list can support email campaigns, call lists, and CRM updates. The data is most useful when it matches your target market. For example, a chemical supplier may want to meet tunnel operators. A software vendor may look for multi-site chains. The exhibitor list helps you focus on relevant companies instead of walking the whole floor.

• Build targeted prospect lists
• Plan booth visits by category
• Follow up with notes and tags

Buyers can use the exhibitor list as a sourcing shortlist. Start by filtering for the product or service you need. Then check which companies are exhibiting and what they offer. At the show, you can ask about lead times, installation, training, and spare parts. For larger purchases, you can compare quotes from several vendors. The list also helps you find local distributors and service partners. If you manage multiple sites, you can look for suppliers that support chain rollouts. Because the show covers Autom​otive & Commercial Vehicles, it may also include firms outside the car wash core. That can be useful for upgrades, fleet support, or new service lines.

• Shortlist suppliers by need
• Compare quotes and lead times
• Find local service partners

The exhibitor list can support market research. You can track which product categories are growing and which companies return each year. That helps you spot new entrants, expanding distributors, and changing supplier focus. For competitive tracking, you can note booth size, messaging, and new product launches. Over time, this data can show shifts in technology, such as more automation or digital payments. It can also reveal regional patterns. If you follow the Automotive & Commercial Vehicles space, the show offers a compact view of the car wash segment. Use the list with public information like websites, press releases, and product pages for a fuller picture.

• Track returning and new vendors
• Spot product category shifts
• Compare competitor messaging

A good visit starts with a plan. The 2027 event runs Apr 26-28 at the Music City Center in Nashville, TN, USA. With about 400 exhibitors, you cannot see everything in detail. Pick a few goals: find a new supplier, compare two systems, or meet five new contacts. Use the exhibitor list to map booths by hall and category. Book meetings in advance when possible. Leave time for the education sessions and for walking the floor. Bring a way to capture notes, photos, and contact details. After the show, sort your notes within a few days. That is when details are still fresh and follow-up is easiest.

• Set clear visit goals
• Map booths by category
• Follow up within days
