DRB Tunnel vs. GHL Car Wash Snapshot
DRB Tunnel (and its newer Patheon platform) is the gold standard for multi-site tunnel control and member access. If you operate 3+ tunnels, you’re probably already on DRB. That’s the tunnel-side stack. The customer-side stack is where the snapshot fits.
What DRB does well
- Multi-site tunnel control (conveyor, chemistry, blowers)
- Member-access barcode and LPR at the gate
- Centralized member database
- Per-site reporting
- Some basic dunning integrations

Integration
The snapshot integrates with DRB Patheon via webhook on both sides — wash counts and LPR events flow in, member status flows back. Customer-side marketing, retention, and fleet workflow runs in the snapshot; tunnel-side operations stay in DRB.
Pricing
DRB Patheon is enterprise-tier multi-site pricing. The snapshot is $997 one-time with only your GoHighLevel subscription as ongoing cost. Per-site cost is the only ongoing add when you scale.
