INDUSTRY INFORMATION

The Facts
 
Americans drive more than 138 million automobiles.  More than half get their cars washed professionally on a regular basis, and this percentage is growing. The International Car Wash Associations "Car Love" campaign points out that a professional car wash protects a cars value, provides satisfaction to the owner, and is much better for the environment than home-washing.

Car Wash Types

If you are serious about owning a car wash, you will need to learn about the car wash industry.  Car washes come in six basic types:


FULL-SERVICE CONVEYOR WASH - The customer gets out of the car, which then goes through a conveyor tunnel equipped with machines which clean the exterior.  Employees clean and vacuum the interior. Most full-service car washes offer detailing services such as waxing, polishing and interior steam cleaning.

EXTERIOR-ONLY CONVEYOR WASH - The driver stays in the car during the ride through the conveyor tunnel.  The business does not provide interior cleaning, although these washes typically offer self-serve vacuum stations for use by customers.

FULL-SERVICE HAND WASH - Employees wash the exterior and clean the interior without the help of an automatic tunnel.  Although this business requires less capital than a conveyor wash, it cannot serve nearly as many customers and requires higher labor costs.

IN-BAY AUTOMATIC WASH - An in-bay automatic provides an automatic carwash, the car remains stationary in a bay while the equipment moves back and forth over the vehicle.  Gas station car washes are usually in-bay automatics.

SELF-SERVICE CAR WASH - At these do-it-yourself stations, the customer washes his or her own car, paying for time to use a water hose and detergents.
