CYBER Express Wash Cuts Ribbon on High-Tech Auto Detailing Center

“Through Chugach’s investment in Cyber Express, we have the opportunity to bring novel carwash technology rooted in environmental responsibility to the Anchorage community while continuing to diversify our portfolio of investments and creating value for our Alaska Native shareholders,” says Angie Astle, president of Chugach Investment Holdings, under which the investment will be managed.

CYBER Express Wash promises to recycle 70 percent of wash water, using 60 percent less compared to washing a car at home. Advanced filtration allows the water to be reused for the property’s landscaping. Soaps and other chemicals are all dye-free and biodegradable.

“We’ve baselined the best in the industry for water usage per vehicle and energy usage and look forward to making future announcements regarding our commitment to improve industry standards,” says Paul Horstkoetter, co-founder and principal at CYBER Express Wash. Horstkoetter is also vice president of development and construction at Contour, a California-based real estate developer with properties mainly in Southwestern states, but Anchorage is his hometown. He was previously a project engineer for Alaska Interstate Construction on the North Slope, and he was briefly an aide to the late former US Senator Ted Stevens.

CYBER Express Wash compiled traffic counts to select sites with convenient access for customers. In addition to refurbishing the defunct Johnson’s Tire location on Denali Street, other “Coming Soon” signs are posted on East Fifth Avenue, where Sixth Avenue converges, and at the busy intersection of Lake Otis Parkway and Tudor Road.
