How Lavo works
Lavo brings three groups together on one platform. Residents get car washes at home, property managers get a free amenity, and operators get a steady base of customers. Here is the full picture for each side.
For residents
Clean car, zero effort. Book and pay from your phone with operators your building already trusts, and see the price before you confirm.
- Only see operators within your building's radius — no browsing random listings
- Book a building wash day slot (cheaper) or an on-demand open slot any available day
- Pay securely online. No cash, no Venmo, no awkward conversations
- Get a photo when your wash is done. Leave a review from your phone
- Add wax, interior detail, or tire shine as a one-tap upgrade
Scheduled visit — operators set their own rate for partnered buildings. Residents always see the exact price before booking.
Book any available date. Price is set by the operator and shown upfront.
No surprises. Every operator sets their own rates.
For property managers
A resident amenity your team does not have to manage. Give residents convenient on-site car washes without adding budget, staff time, or operational complexity.
- Free to add. Lavo never charges the building
- Residents book and pay directly through your building link
- Lavo vets local operators before they service your property
- We provide QR codes, flyers, and resident announcement copy
- Monthly wash day recap you can use in newsletters and renewal communication
- Works with garages, surface lots, and scheduled service days
A shareable page residents can use to book washes directly.
QR code, flyer copy, email copy, and resident announcement language.
Lavo manages scheduling, payments, provider communication, and service flow.
A ready to share amenity summary for resident newsletters and leasing follow up.
No building cost. No contract. No staff training.
For operators
Reach residents without marketing spend. Partner with apartment buildings to build a repeat customer base, then fill open slots with on-demand bookings between visits.
- Buildings bring the residents — you show up and wash
- Set your own rates for scheduled wash days and open slots
- Stripe payouts directly to your account after each wash
- Manage your schedule, capacity, and service radius from your dashboard
- Build your reputation with verified reviews from real residents
Apply to partner with buildings in your area. Once approved, you run scheduled wash days and get direct access to their residents.
Residents can book you on any day you mark available — at your open-slot rate. Fill dead days without lifting a finger on marketing.
Application review and a current certificate of insurance are required. Stripe Connect onboarding takes under 10 minutes.

Common questions
- Do I need to be there?
- Usually not. Drop your keys at your building’s front desk before your scheduled appointment, then pick them up when the wash is done — it all happens while you go about your day.
- Where does the wash happen?
- At your building, either in your parking spot or in an approved wash area.
- How do I know when my car is done?
- You’ll get notified when the wash is complete.
- What if my building does not have Lavo yet?
- You can request Lavo for your building and we’ll let you know when it becomes available.
