ModBrite™ — Small Footprint. Big Possibilities.
ModBrite is AutoBrite’s modular mini-express tunnel system, developed for properties where a traditional long tunnel may not fit. It can be planned for new construction, a freestanding structure, or conversion of an existing self-service or in-bay automatic location.
How the system is designed
- Prefabricated, modular design with configurable wash components.
- Stainless-steel construction and an integrated dual-belt conveyor.
- Front pillars house controls and operator interfaces; rear pillars integrate drying components in the original modular design.
- Prewired components and factory testing were central to the original design, helping streamline installation.
- Suitable for evaluating an older self-service or IBA site for express-tunnel conversion.
Footprint and vehicle handling
Original AutoBrite literature describes models around 14 feet wide and 12 feet tall with multiple tunnel lengths, including compact 40- and 50-foot configurations and larger designs. Certain historical configurations were advertised at 42+ cars per hour. Actual clearance, rated throughput and compatible vehicle dimensions depend on the final system, site layout and operational conditions.
ModBrite was designed to accommodate a variety of vehicle profiles, including pickup trucks and lower-clearance passenger cars when the selected configuration permits. Ask us about wider vehicles, dually pickups and site-specific height requirements.
Thinking about converting an existing car wash?
- Review the existing wash bay, access and vehicle traffic flow.
- Select tunnel length, wash components and conveyor configuration.
- Confirm utilities, drainage, clearances, construction and operating requirements.
- Request a project-specific equipment proposal.

Easy Installation
Jumpstart your car wash’s construction project with a ModBrite™ Mini Express Tunnel. Due to the modular nature of the system, the car wash can be installed in less time and less expense than traditional construction.
Everything starts with the simple and elegant design made of just four pillars: two in the front and two in the back. Up front, the computers, interface, electronics, and controls are housed in the pillars, and in the back, the pillars contain the drying system. Everything else connects to the main structure ready to go, which saves you money.
It also is a modular design, so you get to customize your car wash to best suit your market and customers. Each tunnel is custom designed, engineered, and manufactured to your exact specifications. We also test the tunnel before shipping. If you ever move locations, you can take the car wash as a whole or take it apart then move it.
Customizable Sizing
From 40 feet to Texas sized, the ModBrite™ Mini Express Tunnel car wash can fit almost anywhere and wash almost any size vehicle. ModBrite™ car washes are designed to fit into anywhere you need. Whether in urban areas or the countryside, real estate is at a premium which makes the ModBrite™’s compact size an attractive option for tight spaces.
The modular structure is less than 14 feet wide and 12 feet tall, with lengths starting at 40 feet long. We can match your desired length in 5-foot increments. Mini tunnels go up to 65 feet, and short tunnels go up to 100 feet.
We do small footprint car washes better than anyone else, and we also do Texas sized footprint car washes with our Texas Edition ModBrite™ tunnel. Fitting dually lifted vehicles and 4 by 4s into too small of a car wash can damages both the vehicle and the equipment. Our system can fit the largest 4 by 4 to a low hung sports car with ease, so you can wash even more vehicles.
Save More, Make More
With the modulated, simple design, and the range of sizing options, the ModBrite™ Mini Express Tunnel helps you save more money and make more money. The ModBrite™ provides 42+ cars per hour throughput, delivering four times the output compared to older In-Bay Automatics.
The ModBrite™ car wash is all one machine, so everything comes at one price with everything you need for your car wash. Everything is already prewired and ready to go.
Our car wash tunnel can fit anywhere you need it to. The modular design can fit into small spaces and is self-contained and free standing. It also can be fit into an existing In-Bay Automatic structure to update an old car wash, or a new traditional structure can be built around the ModBrite™ car wash tunnel.
