The Appeal of Self Service Car Wash Structures

Call Now: 800-537-8231

Self service car wash buildings can bring in a great amount of revenue for your car wash business and provide a cheaper alternative for your customers.

Many people still prefer to wash their car themselves as opposed to driving through an automatic car wash, plus self-service car wash buildings offer customers a cheaper option to automatic. They may not have an area where they live to wash their car themselves, so they will come to a self service car wash and use soap and water provided by your car wash business at a lesser fee than automatic.

What Do Self-Service Car Wash Buildings Include?

Self service car wash buildings include:

  • Wash units
  • Vacuums
  • Washer systems

Additional features such as dash board cloths, streak free soap and air fresheners are also available. These add-ons only increase your revenue while providing your customers with a great, full-featured service they can customize.

Self service car wash structures meet the needs of everyone involved in a car wash business. As a business owner, you are able to bring in a great revenue stream at any time of the day while your customers can choose whether to use a timely automatic car wash or self service car wash on their own. You will need fewer personnel for these types of businesses, and many times none at all!

  • improved output for higher profit margins
  • better visibility to attract drive-by traffic
  • more potential for expansion down the road
  • ability to offer custom detailing services and other premium features
