Vic’s Carwash began its journey in 1942, right in the heart of Fall River, Massachusetts. Founded by Vic himself, a hardworking local with a love for cars and a strong sense of community, the business started as a modest hand-wash station during a time when automatic car washes didn’t even exist. Armed with buckets, brushes, and elbow grease, Vic and his small team built a reputation for delivering honest, spotless service to friends, neighbors, and anyone who rolled in off the road.

As the decades rolled on, Vic’s Carwash grew with the times while never losing its personal touch. From the postwar boom through the rise of the American highway, the shop evolved into a full-service operation, adding new equipment, indoor bays, and eventually drive-through washes. It remained a family-run business through multiple generations, each one carrying forward the same work ethic and dedication that started it all. Locals knew that when you brought your car to Vic’s, you weren’t just getting a wash — you were getting old-school pride and attention to detail.

Today, over 80 years later, Vic’s Carwash stands as one of Fall River’s longest-running businesses. While the tools and technology have changed, the heart of the operation hasn’t. We’re still here on John Street, welcoming new faces and familiar ones alike, continuing to serve the community with the same care, quality, and commitment that Vic built his name on back in 1942.
