The St. Louis County Council has rejected an oil-change facility at the corner of Lindbergh and Tesson Ferry and a car wash on Gravois Road, in a resounding rejection of the proliferation of auto-oriented businesses and car washes along South County’s main roads.
The council unanimously voted 6-0 April 27 for a resolution with binding authority to reject the county Planning Commission’s recommendation of an oil-change facility at the former Taco Bell site at 5554 S. Lindbergh Blvd., which was abandoned in late 2016 when Taco Bell built a new location it owned at 6080 S. Lindbergh.
The opposition to both projects was led by 6th District Councilman Ernie Trakas, R-Oakville, who said the area has too many oil change places both operating and abandoned and car washes.
Two new Tidal Wave car washes have opened on Lindbergh Boulevard, one in Concord Village and the other in Sunset Hills, and another could be on the way in Concord.
Tidal Wave Luxury Wash, a car wash company based out of Chesterfield, has opened a new full-service wash in Sunset Hills known as Tidal Wave Wash Center, 3720 S. Lindbergh Blvd., in addition to a new express wash center in Concord, 5677 S. Lindbergh.
The car wash in Sunset Hills is billed as a “wash center,” with a full- service car wash, gas station, convenience store, a cafe featuring Kaldi’s Coffee and a drive-thru Smoothie King.
