About Blue Tide Car Wash
Our Background
Founded in 2019, Blue Tide Car Wash quickly became a trusted name for quality car care. Since then we have been Oakwood and Gainesville’s go-to spot for a sparkling clean ride — fast, friendly, and done right. With new ownership in 2025, we’ve leveled up our commitment to quality while keeping the same hometown feel our customers love. From express car washes to full-service and car detailing, we’ve got every inch of your car covered. At Blue Tide, we don’t just clean cars — we make them shine, inside and out.
Meet the Team
Garrett Faralli
Meet Garrett Faralli, the owner of Blue Tide Car Wash and the driving force behind our commitment to quality and customer care. Originally from Villanova, PA, Garrett built a successful career in finance at JP Morgan in New York City before trading Wall Street for a warmer welcome in Georgia. In 2025, he and his girlfriend made the move south, where Garrett saw an opportunity to blend his business and finance experience with his passion for service. Today, he's focused on creating a quality car wash experience that's fast, friendly, and always delivers a shine you can feel good about.
