Free Car Wash Fridays

Would you like to keep your car looking great all summer long while helping local students accomplish great things?

Downriver CU will host Free Car Wash Fridays on select Fridays throughout Summer 2026, weather permitting, to help local senior high school teams, clubs, and specialty groups raise funds for important needs such as uniforms, equipment, travel, competitions, performances, and program expenses.

Car washes are free, but donations are encouraged to support each participating group.

Location

Car washes will be held at our Southgate Office:

15621 Trenton Rd.
Southgate, MI 48195
(just south of Eureka Rd.)
