Company profile
researched Sep 2026Locus Mobility operates an app-based mobile car care service that brings vehicle cleaning to where a car is already parked, positioned under the concept of "a car wash where you park." The service is structured as a location- and subscription-based amenity, delivered on-site rather than through a fixed car wash facility.
The offering is sold both to real estate owners, who provide it as an amenity to their customers or tenants, and to end consumers who use the app-based service directly, giving the company a combined B2B and B2C profile within the automotive and mobile services categories. The company was co-founded by Harry Michel, Kelly Ireland and Shonn Shearlds.
Founding story
The company was founded by Harry Michel, Kelly Ireland and Shonn Shearlds around the idea of bringing car washing to vehicles where they are parked rather than requiring drivers to visit a car wash.
Business model
Locus Mobility combines business-to-business and business-to-consumer channels: real estate owners contract the service as an amenity for their customers, while the mobile app supports location- and subscription-based access to car care for individual vehicle owners.
The service is described as subscription-based, with amenities tied to specific locations and provided by real estate owners to their customers.
