Although traditional manual car washing takes a long time, during the cleaning process, it can focus on some dead/blind areas that cannot be touched by the brushes of the car washing machine. Therefore, if the customer pursues perfect cleaning, manual cleaning can be done once every 1-2 months. Apart from that, there are still a lot of advantages of automatic car washes, which we have compiled in the following six aspects:
(1) Fast and efficient. Manual car washing takes about 20-30 minutes depending on the size of the car and the degree of dirtiness, while an automatic car washing machine only takes 3 minutes at the fastest to clean and dry a car. For car washes with large car washing volumes, it can greatly improve the efficiency of car washing. It also reduces customer waiting time.
(2) Reduce waste of human resources and reduce labor intensity. A car washing machine only requires one attendant to instruct users to correctly drive into the car washing machine and perform routine maintenance. If a car wash has a cleaning volume of more than 500 vehicles a day, a car washing machine can be equipped with 4-6 attendants, who can be responsible for pre-washing before entering the car washing machine and interior cleaning services after leave the car washing machine.
(3) Save water and car wash detergent resources. Currently, the two most popular car washing machines on the market are express tunnel car wash machines and rollover car wash machines. Cleaning a car with a tunnel machine consumes 160L water, 0.5-0.8kwh electricity, and 15-20ML car wash detergent; rollover car washer cleaning a car consumes 100L water, 0.5kwh electricity, and 15-20ML car wash detergent; if equipped with a water recycling equipment, can also save about 80% of water. Moreover, the recycling water technology also complies with local environmental protection requirements.
(4) Provide added value. For example, gas stations install car wash machines to promote free car washes when refueling to increase fuel sales; Car dealer shops provide lifelong fast car wash services when purchasing a car, which has obvious advantages over manual car washes in ordinary shops.
(5) The driver does not need to leave the vehicle, improving comfort. Under the influence of the pandemic, some car owners do not want to have too much contact with the outside world. For places with high traffic, car washes can complete the cleaning of the car surface without getting out of the car.
(6) Quick profits. The charging standards for fully automatic car washes are similar to or even cheaper than manual car washes. However, due to the high daily traffic of car washes (the express tunnel car wash machine can wash 50-60 cars per hour; the rollover car wash machine can wash 10-15 cars per hour), short and profitable time to recoup the investment costs of car washes (considering the saved labor, water consumption, and car wash detergent consumption). The successful landing of an auto carwash will inspire investors to reach for the idea of a carwash chain, resulting in economies of scale.
In China, there is an old saying: There is no martial art that is indefectible, while the fastest speed is the only way to long success.
Wish everyone can open a successful car wash shop.
