We chose PitStop because of location, as we are from out of state and camping. We simply picked the laundromat closest to us. But we got lucky when we selected this spot! Priced right, immaculate facility, and staffed full time by people doing drop-off laundry. Staff is welcoming and friendly. Free coffee on Tuesdays and Thursdays. :). Bright and spotlessly clean. Immaculate bathrooms. There’s a dog wash space in the same plaza as well as a car wash.

This place is AWESOME. Our washer broke at home and it was taking weeks for the repair. We had 12 large loads of laundry. I used 3 extra large machines and 2 large machines and all of them were done in less than 30 minutes. Then the dryers- they’re like airplane jets. It’s clean, the staff is friendly, there’s a cheap vending machine for the kids, and the loads are very affordable. Total asset to the community.

We love Pit Stop! We use the laundry center, car wash, & dog wash. The laundry center saves us so much time and they are all easy to work with! We drop off our large rugs & comforters & then go pick up later. They will text you when done and communication has been great. All facilities are clean and organized. I highly recommend them!

This is the most convenient place to wash your pup! The set up is perfect from the ramped, raised tub to the water sprayer and fresh, clean towels to dry with. The interior door locks so you can feel safe, and the room has been clean every time I’ve gone there.

Pit Stop Wash Center   is Johnson City's one-stop destination for getting the everyday cleaning jobs done. Instead of driving across town to wash your car, then heading somewhere else for laundry, then wrestling your dog into the bathtub at home, you can take care of all three in one place. Our car wash, laundromat, and dog wash services are built around the way people in Johnson City and the Tri-Cities actually live, with muddy trails, heavy spring pollen, winter road brine, busy work weeks, and family schedules that don't leave much free time.


Visit Pit Stop Wash Center in Johnson City, TN and handle your car, laundry, and dog wash in one stop.

One Stop for Your Car, Your Laundry, and Your Dog


Built for Life in Johnson City and the Tri-Cities

Get your car, clothes, and dog ready for every East Tennessee season at Pit Stop Wash Center in Johnson City, TN.

Spring Pollen

From March through May, pollen coats cars, clothing, and pets across East Tennessee. A car wash keeps acidic pollen from staining your paint, washing outerwear and bedding at the laundromat helps reduce allergens at home, and a dog wash removes pollen from your pet's coat.

Outdoor Adventures

Trails at Buffalo Mountain, the Tweetsie Trail, Roan Mountain, and Watauga Lake are some of the best parts of living here. They also bring mud, clay, and lake water home with you. Washing your vehicle, your camping gear, and your dog in one stop makes recovery from a weekend outdoors quick and easy.

Check Icon

Winter Roads

When roads are pretreated with brine before snow and ice, that salt ends up on your undercarriage and lower panels. A car wash after winter weather is one of the best ways to slow rust and corrosion.

Busy Schedules

Between work, ETSU classes, and family commitments, free time is limited. Combining chores into a single stop at Pit Stop Wash Center helps you reclaim your evenings and weekends.

Come Prepared

Sorting laundry at home, pre-treating stains, and brushing out your dog's coat ahead of time all make your visit faster and your results better.

    Pit Stop Wash Center is located in Johnson City, Tennessee, and serves customers throughout the Tri-Cities area, including Elizabethton, Jonesborough, and Gray.

  • Can I do laundry and wash my car in the same visit?

    Yes. Many customers start their laundry first and complete their car wash while the washers and dryers are running, finishing both chores in one trip.

  • How often should I wash my car in Johnson City?

    Most drivers benefit from a car wash every two weeks, with weekly washes recommended during spring pollen season and after winter weather when roads are treated with salt brine.

  • Can I wash a comforter at the laundromat?

    Yes. Our laundromat is a great place to wash comforters, duvets, blankets, and other bulky bedding that won't fit or clean well in a home washer.

  • Why use a dog wash instead of bathing my dog at home?

    A dog wash keeps water, fur, and mud out of your home, puts your dog at a comfortable working height, and saves you the cleanup afterward.

    Most dogs do well with a bath every four to eight weeks. Dogs that hike, swim, or play outside often may need a dog wash more frequently.

    Bring your sorted laundry, detergent, dryer sheets, and a basket or laundry bag. Pre-treating stains at home also improves results.

  • Is Pit Stop Wash Center good for college students?
