When researching the type of automatic car wash building that is right for your business, there are a few things that you should take into consideration:

* Large car wash buildings do not necessarily mean more hassle. In fact, a larger automatic car wash building can actually improve the performance of your car wash operation.

* When planning your car wash construction, keep in mind that a longer automatic car wash building gives you more flexibility in the types of equipment you can include in your car wash enclosure, giving you additional revenue generating greater opportunities.

* Cars dry best when there is more drip space between the wash section and the dryer; you definitely what to take this into consideration in your car wash building construction plans.

* A well-lit automatic car wash building gives your car wash great street visibility and presence. Remember during the planning of your car wash construction that the longer the car wash building, the more presence your car wash business will have.

* Another benefit of going with a long automatic car wash building is that they provide your car wash business with increased output, as two cars can be washed in the long automatic car wash at once. The increased capacity of the car wash means that your customers won’t be scared off with the sight of a long line. More cars means more revenue for you!

Light Your Automatic Car Wash Building

Lighting your car wash structure is critical in this day and age! Not only does it allow for customers to see how their vehicle is being washed, feel safe, and possibly entertained (set your colored lights to music!), but it also adds to curb appeal, illuminating your car wash for passers by. New Horizons has recently partnered with G&G LED to bring you the most complete LED packages. Head over to our Accessories page to check out more. Together, we'll make sure you're keeping the lights on.
