1956 · The founders
Art & Mary Lou DeLuca
First generation
Art built the company one relationship at a time: dependable machines, honest service, and laundry rooms that simply worked for owners and residents alike.
Art's Washers & Dryers installs and maintains commercial Speed Queen equipment in your apartment, HOA, or student-housing laundry room at no cost to the property, handles every repair, and shares the revenue with you. Family-owned, San Diego-run, and responsive in a way the national chains stopped being years ago.
You provide the space; we do the rest. Art's installs and owns commercial Speed Queen machines in your laundry room at no cost, handles every repair, and pays you a monthly share of the revenue, with the responsiveness the national chains stopped offering years ago.
Art's Washers & Dryers has always been a family business. In 1956, Art DeLuca started it on a simple idea: take the hassle of laundry off property owners, streamline the whole process, and keep tenants happy. Three generations later, with Anthony Bregante at the helm, that idea still runs everything we do.
Art built the company one relationship at a time: dependable machines, honest service, and laundry rooms that simply worked for owners and residents alike.
Mark and Karen grew the family routes across San Diego, the Inland Empire and Palm Springs: same standards, more communities served.
Anthony runs the family business now, carrying the 1956 idea forward with modern ShinePay mobile payment and Speed Queen equipment: still streamlining the process and raising tenant satisfaction.
From a handful of machines in a small complex to shared rooms serving hundreds of units, we size, install, service and share revenue on the right equipment for your community.

We look at your laundry room, resident count and payment setup, then show you exactly what your property could earn.
Our local crew supplies and installs commercial washers and dryers sized to your building. You buy nothing.
Every repair, part and resident refund is on us, with same or next-business-day response on our routes.
Your laundry room becomes income instead of an expense, paid to the owner or HOA every month.
A machine down costs you money and frustrates residents. We built our whole operation so that becomes our problem, not yours.
The best part for owners: your residents call us directly, not you. You don't field tenant complaints or manage repairs: the owner just sees the revenue come in each month.
Here is an actual San Diego account we took over. Tired, mismatched machines before; clean, matched Speed Queen units with ShinePay mobile pay after. Same room, ready for residents.
A real San Diego family business with real names, not a national account number in a call center a time zone away.
The commercial equipment independently rated among the toughest built, fewer out-of-order machines, fewer complaints.
Slow service is the #1 complaint about the nationals. We answer, dispatch and fix, because we work in your region.
A straightforward revenue-share lease: we cover the machines, install, service and payments; you earn every month.
The national operators win on scale, but scale is exactly what erodes service. Property managers' most common regret with the giants is slow, unaccountable repairs. We compete on the opposite: a family team that answers the phone.
Local San Diego fleet
Speed Queen equipmentNo capital outlay, no maintenance headaches, no long chases with a national repair line. We'll assess your room and resident mix and show you a clear proposal, coin, card, or ShinePay mobile payment, whatever your community prefers.
Real vend prices, real utility costs, a 50/50 split, and a calculator that does the math for your building in 10 seconds.
