Where every claim comes from

Editorial policy

Sources, verification, and honest limits

This page records exactly where the information on this site comes from, what was verified, and what was deliberately left unstated. It is written so that a reader, a customer, or a reviewer can check every factual claim against its source. 16th Ave Lazer Wash did not supply, review, or approve this content; it is an independent rebuild of a business whose own website currently publishes no service content.

1. Current business identity — verified

Source: Google Business Profile capture of 2026-09-19, retrieved with the open gmbdl downloader (CloakBrowser) via the Maps place endpoint. This is the authority for the fields below.

• Business name: 16th Ave Lazer Wash
• Primary category: Car wash
• Address: 1710 16th Ave SW, Cedar Rapids, IA 52404
• Phone: (319) 558-8998
• Coordinates: 41.962851199999996, -91.6945684 · plus code X874+45 Cedar Rapids, Iowa
• Payments: credit cards, debit cards
• Amenity: car vacuum
• Rating at capture: 3.4 stars from 84 Google reviews — shown only as the captured value

The same capture is the authority for the Google Place ID ChIJRXVgvsD55IcRBSkUxUWSx5Y, the map identifier used in the structured data, and the coordinates used in the embedded map. Public opening hours were not published at capture, so no hours are stated anywhere on this site.

2. Historical business features — archived official copy

Source: the official website 16thavelazerwash.com as preserved by the Internet Archive Wayback Machine, captures dated 2018-02-04 and 2019-02-01 (the site was built on the hibu/Duda platform). These are quoted as the business's own archived statements, not as independently verified current facts.

• Positioning: “One-Stop Shop for Pet Wash and Car Wash”
• Feature line: “Spot-Free Rinse and Clear Coat in all Bays.”
• About copy: self-service and full-service car wash bays, plus pet washing bays
• Pet wash: hypoallergenic and tear-less shampoo products for dogs
• Convenience: designated parking; credit cards and cash accepted
• Self-description: the only pet and car wash business in Cedar Rapids (the business's own claim, not independently verified)

The live site at https://16thavelazerwash.com/ currently returns a bare WordPress placeholder with no service content, which is why archived copy is used and labelled. The exact archived capture identifiers are recorded in the package handoff document SOURCE-NOTES.md rather than linked from this public page.

3. Property and signage — listing photographs

Source: the same 2026-09-19 Google Business Profile capture. Nine images were retrieved (eight business photos and one Street View frame). Every caption on the gallery page describes only what the image visibly shows: the blue bay building, the CREDIT CARDS IN ALL BAYS and free-vacuum signage, the yellow self-serve dog wash area signed A Clean Dog is a Healthy Dog, the roadside pylon sign, and street-level context. Listing photographs are never presented as proof of a wash outcome, and the Street View frame is labelled as directions context rather than a business-owned photo.

4. Deliberately not asserted

• Current prices, coupons, or package names
• Current opening hours (none are published)
• A specific number of bays or a specific equipment brand
• Warranties, guarantees, memberships, or unlimited-wash programs
• Awards, certifications, licenses, or years in business
• Owner names, staff names, or named customer testimonials

Where the archived copy or the listing is silent, this site says so rather than filling the gap. The 3.4-star rating is reported only as the captured value on the capture date, and no review text is reproduced.

5. A recorded data inconsistency

The 2019 archived directions link pointed to a Google CID of 0xcd9b982a4ba019d4, while the current profile uses 0x96c79245c5142905. The street address and the first half of the place feature id match. The current 2026 Google Business Profile capture is treated as the authority for identification throughout this package; the discrepancy is disclosed here rather than hidden.

6. Corrections

If any statement here is out of date or inaccurate — a changed phone number, a new address, published hours, or a corrected service description — the correction should be made through 16th Ave Lazer Wash at (319) 558-8998 so the live business remains the source of truth. This package is a static rebuild and does not update itself.
