TEYKO® Wins Albuquerque Journal Readers’ Choice — Beating Out National Giants

We’re fired up to share some incredible news: TEYKO® has been voted a winner in the Albuquerque Journal’s 2025 Readers’ Choice Awards. And here’s the kicker: we didn’t just win—we topped two national heavyweights, Mister Car Wash and Champion Xpress Carwash, both named as finalists.

Why this win matters

Mister Car Wash and Champion Xpress Carwash are massive names in the industry, operating hundreds of locations nationwide. Their scale and marketing budgets are enormous. For TEYKO—a local, independent brand built right here in New Mexico—to earn the top spot against them is proof that quality, community, and authenticity beat size and saturation every time.

What New Mexicans chose

• Relentless quality. While big chains focus on volume, TEYKO puts precision and passion into every wash, every product, every customer experience.

• Homegrown pride. We’re not just in the community—we are the community, reinvesting back into local car culture and youth programs.

• Better results. From our Quick Detailer with Spray Wax to our mobile detailing service, TEYKO delivers the kind of showroom shine that mass-market chains simply can’t replicate.

A statement from TEYKO

“To be voted #1 over Mister Car Wash and Champion Xpress proves what we’ve believed from day one: people want more than an assembly-line wash. They want care, passion, and results they can see. Thank you, New Mexico, for making your voices heard.”—The TEYKO Team

A win powered by community

This Readers’ Choice Award isn’t about outspending anyone—it’s about outcaring everyone. New Mexicans showed that they value brands that go deeper than a rinse and a vacuum. This win is a milestone for TEYKO and a signal that the future of car care belongs to those who put customers and community first.
