The story behind Johnson Car Wash
Six years ago we opened a single bay on KG 20 Avenue with a hand painted sign and a borrowed pressure washer. Today we're Kimironko's most trusted car wash — and we still treat every car like it's our own.
Quality car care, made convenient.
Johnson Car Wash started in 2020 with a simple idea: the people of Kimironko deserved a car wash that was fast, fair, and actually good. No upselling. No surprise fees. No rotating staff who didn't know your car.
Founder Johnson Habimana spent twelve years detailing cars before opening the shop. He picked the products himself, trained the first crew himself, and washed the first thousand cars with his own two hands. That hands-on standard hasn't changed.
Today we're a small team of five, running two bays seven days a week, and we've put a clean coat on more than five thousand cars. Whether you're here for an express rinse on the way to work or a full premium detail before a wedding, you get the same attention either way.
Four values, no compromises
The principles behind every wash, every conversation, and every booking we take.
Quality
We do it right the first time, even when no one is watching.
Trust
Honest prices, honest timelines, honest answers. Always.
Convenience
WhatsApp bookings, fast turnaround, and a location in the heart of Kimironko.
Community
We hire locally, source locally, and treat every neighbour like a regular.
The people behind every wash
A small, trained team. The same faces, every visit.
