VOORHEESVILLE — Advanced Car Wash on Voorheesville Avenue is closed after a fire broke out Friday and damaged equipment.

“We had a water heater that overheated,” said owner Timm Baldauf. “We had pretty extensive damage in our equipment room.”

The Voorheesville Fire Department responded “in a very timely manner,” he said.

“We have our insurance, and we’re starting the process now,” he said. Baldauf said that the car wash will reopen soon.

“No question. We will definitely rebuild — re-open is more like it,” he said.

Baldauf expressed appreciation for his customers’ patience while the car wash remains closed.

“This is the time of year when people want to wash,” he said.

Baldauf does not yet have a timeline for when the carwash will reopen.

“It could be worse,” he said.
