Customers are on-site for an average of -12 minutes. • Our managers and team are trained for effective & efficient throughput of the operation, ensuring there is a consistent and manageable flow of traffic to and from the site. • 80% of our vehicle volume is member -driven, meaning members are able to drive to a nearby Woodie's location if it's too busy, which helps self -govern some of the capacity issues.

Brooks, PE, FASA, INCE President �J MCADAMS X17 WATER STEWARDSHIP IN ACTION Woodie's is committed to responsible water use by recycling over 70% of our water, maintaining our WaterSavers membership, and using the same amount of water to wash up to six times more cars than a typical driveway wash. • This is one of the biggest misconceptions about modern car washes. A professional car wash can be more responsible than driveway washing because the water is managed, treated, and often reclaimed instead of running into storm drains. Woodie's is a cleaner, more controlled way for the community to wash cars. • We recycle over 70% of our water through reverse osmosis filtration so we can wash more cars with less water • Woodie's Wash Shack is a member of the WaterSavers® program, recognized by the International Carwash Association for environmentally responsible practices o Membership requires meeting strict criteria, including: ■ Using a set amount of fresh water per wash. ■ Recycling or reclaiming treated water for future washes. ■ Discharging effluent water to a sanitary location, not storm drains • Washing your car at home uses an average of 120+ gallons, and none of it is recycled. • Compared to washing your car at home, Woodie's could wash over 6x more cars with the same amount of water! • There is a reason that during a drought, you can't wash your car in your driveway, but you can always swing through a Woodie's Wash Shack!
