Abstract: A system and methodology are provided for providing car wash services according to a voucher code. The system obtains the voucher code from a voucher and determines whether the voucher code is expired or has been previously used. Based on the validity determination, car wash services are selectively provided according to desired wash service information obtained from the voucher code, as well as additional or upgraded services desired by a car wash customer at the time the voucher is presented. The system determines the validity of a voucher code by accessing a network or chain management system which maintains a database of voucher code usage information, thus allowing a determination at any site in the network or chain of whether the voucher has expired or has been previously used. The system further provides the capability of obtaining voucher code usage reports from any site in the chain.
