The Detroit News The city that put the world on wheels also created the automated car wash industry 100 years ago. In 1914, Frank McCormick and J.W. Hinkle opened Automobile Laundry in Detroit, at 1221 Woodward near Gratiot. The Laundry was the first to bring Henry Ford’s moving assembly line technique to the car wash business. Car cleaning had largely been done individually before then.
