Precision Auto Care to Unveil Modular Car Wash Unit at April ICA Show
    LEESBURG, Va., April 5 -- Precision Auto Care, Inc. today
announced the introduction of a new modular car wash unit, which will be
unveiled officially at the April 22-24 International Car Wash Association Show
in Nashville, TN, according to Charles Dunlap, President and CEO.
    Two subsidiary companies of Precision Auto Care are responsible for the
creation of this exciting new product:  Precision Building Solutions, Inc.
(PBSI) manufactures the modular building, while HydroSpray provides the
revolutionary, state-of-the-art technology of The Rainmaker(TM), the company's
touch-free automatic wash system, said Bill Roller, Senior Vice President of
Manufacturing and Distribution.
    "The potential of this new modular car wash is tremendous, giving
Precision Auto Care and HydroSpray a competitive advantage by being able to
offer a complete product line," Roller explained. "Available as a one or two
bay, the unit requires minimal land and can be up and running in 1-2 weeks,
making it ideal for convenience store locations, mall parking lots,
dealerships, and in combination with lube operations."
    "The development of this product was born from a strong interest by
business people who also love our modular quick lube product and want the many
benefits it brings," said Kevin Rooney, Vice President of Franchise
Development.  "As a franchise or independent concept, the combination of our
cutting edge touch-free Rainmaker(TM) wash equipment, computer-controlled
technology, and cross-promotional marketing capabilities with this unique
modular building brings speed, flexibility, and ease of operation to
interested business owners."
    With a fully insulated equipment room, choice of exterior finishes to
match any surroundings, state approved blue prints and site analysis, back-
lit/down-lit sign capability, warp-resistant interior walls, and attractive
window treatments, the building is sized at 30' L x 11'7" H x 18' W (or 44'2"
L if dryer bay is included), explained Harold Marshall, General Manager for
PBSI. "We are very excited to be able to offer one-stop shopping for car wash
building and equipment needs."
    Under the umbrella theme of "Precision Solutions", Precision Auto Care
will be one of the largest exhibitors at the ICA Show with all of the
Precision brands represented in one booth, including the entire modular car
wash building and technology.
    Precision Auto Care, Inc. is the world's largest franchiser
of auto care centers, currently with 645 operating centers worldwide as of
March 31, 1999.  The Company franchises and operates Precision Tune Auto Care,
Precision Auto Wash, and Precision Lube Express centers around the world.
