Presumably this is to make sure you only get charged for what you use. Sort of. The timer doesn't stop counting just because you let off the nozzle handle -- you have to intentionally stop the transaction, so work quickly.15 minutes maximum before the washer shuts off on its own.

Clean! Set up so you can use your credit card instead of fumbling for coins. The drying bays are staggered so you're not up against another customer. There are signs posted saying that if you don't press the stop button in the wash bay the timer keeps running until the max ($15, I think), so be aware.
I really like this car wash. However since they updated to card only. They always charge your card $10 sometimes more. I wish I was charged for how much time I used. But I think it's cheaper to go to a full service car wash now instead of here
