Technology advancements in the car wash industry have moved forward by leaps and bounds in recent years. The benefits include increased efficiency, improved wash results, and environmental advantages. But is adopting modern technology the key to increasing profitability? Let’s take a closer look!
Advancement in Express Exterior Car Wash Equipment
The main advancements in car wash equipment are related to efficiency. You want to be able to wash cars as fast as possible while using as little water and cleaning agents as possible.
Water reclamation systems can allow a car wash to reuse the vast majority of water from previous washes while only needing the purest water for the final spot-free rinse. This saves money on water and allows you to advertise the wash as sustainable or eco-friendly, especially since there is little opportunity to reclaim water when washing a car in one’s driveway.
Additionally, the conveyor systems used in an express exterior wash can help you process dozens of vehicles per hour during your busiest times of the day and week. Without a line around the block, drivers will feel free to pop in at any time convenient for them.
Finally, sensor technology can scan the size of vehicles entering the wash so that the correct amount of water and detergent is used. This reduces the waste of having to treat every vehicle like the largest truck the wash is designed to handle.
Technology for Customer Convenience
Other technologies you should know about make the process of payment and use of the facilities easier on the driver. A contactless point of sale means no interaction with a car wash attendant is necessary. License plate recognition systems allow you to have monthly membership programs where a customer pays a recurring fee and can use the car wash at will, perhaps even linking a specific type of car wash so they don’t need to do anything besides drive up and get the car washed.
