A1A Car Wash

Location from Breaking Bad by Vince Gilligan

Walt's former employer turned money laundering front — 'Have an A1 day!' while we clean your car and your drug money simultaneously.

Walt worked at A1A as a cashier before his cancer diagnosis — a humiliation that symbolized his fall from Gray Matter's promise. After becoming Heisenberg, Skyler orchestrated the purchase from owner Bogdan Wolynetz via a fake environmental audit, and it became their primary money laundering operation. The car wash represents the show's domestic side of crime — where Skyler applies her intelligence to the practical problem of making drug money look legitimate. It was eventually seized by the government.

Appearance

A standard Albuquerque car wash — nothing special, nothing memorable, exactly the kind of business you'd pass without looking twice. Which is why it's perfect for laundering money.

Also known as: A1A Car Wash, The Car Wash
