Our decades of combined experience in the car wash business have helped us to develop the most efficient building plans and designs.

To run an automatic car wash with minimal staff requires efficient design and planning. An efficient command center provides one person with the ability to keep an eye on the wash bay, the external canopy, and the lobby area. Good design leads to easy management, minimal staff, and fewer business expenses to cut into your profits and ROI.

As car wash designers, developers, and distributors, we have the unique ability to manage construction of your wash bay, provide the best equipment the industry has to offer, and keep you well supplied.
Environmentally Friendly
One way our car wash bays immediately start saving you money is through our state-of-the-art water reclamation systems. This system also makes your operation environmentally friendly.

Once again, Car Wash Pro Designers saves you money while giving consumers the impression that you spend a fortune to give them the best.
Storage
For easy service and supply the storage tower opens to both the wash bay (specifically the blower room) and the vacuum area on the exterior of the building.
Chemical Storage
The bulk storage and chemical pod system contained in the secondary tower allows for excess soap and cleaner storage, so your wash can work longer between deliveries without the need to cut back on services.
Branding
We have two separate styles for our express tunnel, including a Dealership design and a Neighborhood design, and both are available in red, blue, and neutral color schemes. The towers also offer superior fascia square footage for large custom signage and advertising.

Full-Service Experience
Some customers want a full-service experience that involves talking to a person regardless of whether the car owner intends to pay with cash or a credit card. This adds a personal touch to the customer experience without adding additional expense to you because the car wash is designed for one person to serve as cashier and keep an eye on car wash bay operations.
Automated Service
Busy customers may want their experienced fast-tracked by an express lane that lets them pay at an automatic teller. Accepting cash and credit minimizes delays and provides businesspersons with a way to get their car washed on the way to the office, during the lunch hour, or on the way home.
