We Got Tired of WatchingOwners Replace Vacuums
We came from the car wash industry. We watched owners spend thousands replacing vacuums destroyed by break-ins, theft, and daily abuse. So we built something that eliminates all three — a vacuum system that thieves cannot crack open and impacts cannot destroy.

Built by People Who Know Your Pain
Here is the thing about running a car wash. Your vacuums sit outside, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They get hit by cars. They rust. They corrode. And if they have a coin box with a padlock? Somebody is going to cut that padlock. It is not a question of if. It is when. Then you are writing another check to repair or replace the whole unit.
Our founder spent years in the car wash business watching this play out over and over. Owners replacing vacuums destroyed by break-ins. Repairing units damaged by impacts. Welding coin boxes shut. Dealing with insurance claims. Losing revenue every time a machine went down. It was a losing battle with equipment that was never built to survive the job.
So we built the SquareVac. A tamper-proof canister that physically cannot be pried open. Impact-resistant construction that withstands what destroys traditional vacuums. Electronic payment so there is no cash to steal. Custom colors and graphics so it actually looks good on your lot. Today, with units in the field and growing fast, we have zero successful break-ins on record. Not one.

From Frustration to a Fix
COVID Hit — Break-Ins Exploded
When COVID shut everything down, car wash vacuum break-ins went through the roof. Locations that never had problems were suddenly getting hit every single night. David Folton, a longtime car wash industry veteran, decided enough was enough.
David Folton Started Building
David took a hard look at why every vacuum on the market kept failing. Exposed padlocks, pry points, coin boxes — all easy targets. He started engineering a system from scratch that physically could not be broken into.
First SquareVac Installed
The first SquareVac went into a location that had been getting broken into every night. From that day forward — zero successful break-ins. The owner called it the last vacuum he would ever need to buy.
Word Spread Fast
Owners started talking. Car washes that were losing thousands a month to theft and repairs switched to SquareVac and the break-ins stopped completely. Demand grew across multiple states.
Zero Break-Ins. Nationwide.
SquareVac units are installed across the country and not a single one has been successfully broken into. Car wash owners are replacing their old vacuums faster than ever because the math is simple: stop losing money.
How We Do Business
We built this company because we were tired of watching car wash owners get a raw deal. These are the principles behind every unit we ship.
Security You Can Prove
We do not say "more secure." We say zero. That is not a marketing claim — it is a verifiable track record across every unit in the field.
We Know Your Business
We come from the car wash world. We have seen the 3 AM break-in calls, the rusted-out units, the lost revenue. We built the fix.
Built to Take a Beating
Commercial-grade construction that does not rust, does not corrode, and does not quit. We have video of one getting hit by an RV — it was reinstalled at the same location.
Straight Talk
We will tell you what you need, not what costs the most. If a single motor does the job, we will say so. Honest advice every time.
