Advertiser Message: Drive Well Auto Spa • Mount Prospect

For multitaskers who value mental health as well as a gleaming ride, Mt. Prospect is now home to a facility that is ready to serve both needs. Drive Well Auto Spa elevates the strictly utilitarian purpose of a drive-through car wash with immersive sight and sound. Owners Sanjay and Gita Murthy promise “More than a Wash,” deploying wellness technology while cleaning your wheels via either brush or touchless wash. Drivers remain in their vehicles while traveling through a wash tunnel lined with high-resolution LED wall and high-end sound equipment, offering a mesmerizing and immersive experience that concludes with aromatherapy.

The customized audio-visual environment will change throughout the year. Co-designer Tarun Raj has worked with various health clinics, Veterans’ hospitals, automotive manufacturers, and other leading companies to develop and use this technology. The aim is to produce calm and relaxation, which anyone on the road will recognize as a state of mind that more drivers could stand to attain. Drive Well Auto Spa held its opening weekend in early December, welcoming a thousand guests and their cars. The site is located at 1791 Wall Street, near the intersection of West Algonquin Road and South Elmhurst Road. (drivewellautospa.com)
