The car wash industry is really hot right now among investors, and with good reason. You stand to make a ton of revenue with very little overhead and oversite. A car wash is mostly about the initial investment, followed up by a little maintenance. However, you want to be sure you know what you are getting into. We’re going to dispel a few myths so you can get a good start in the express exterior car wash game.
Myth 1: Car Washes = Easy Success
The car wash industry is a great place to invest, but there’s no such thing as easy money. You have to do your research, surround yourself with the right people, choose a great location, and have the right business model. Don’t try and learn as you go. People make a ton of money owning car washes, but they have all put in the effort. A few suggestions include:
Hire the right company to design and construct your wash
Use an express tunnel design rather than having multiple bays
Offer freebies, like free vacuums, to draw in new customers
Reduce overhead by using modern equipment rather than having a full-service wash
Myth 2: Once the Car Wash Opens, You Can Sit Back and Earn Money
It would be nice if all the work was done once you open your car wash tunnel entrance, but more is needed than a building, a good location, and a sign or two in order to be successful. You need to pay attention to your customers so you can meet their ever-changing needs. A few suggestions include:
Use modern equipment to reduce wait times
Implement a $3 Express Wash Model for customers in a hurry who don’t want to spend a lot
Market on social media to reach the younger generation
Have a loyalty program to encourage repeat business
