Car Wash Company Analysis<\/h1>\n

In your company analysis, you will detail the type of car wash you are operating.<\/p>\n

For example, you might operate one of these common types:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Automatic or tunnel car washes (most common) in which a conveyor is used to move the automobile through a series of cleaning mechanisms. The vehicle is then typically hand dried by employees. Car detailing services are typically also offered at these facilities.<\/li>\n
  2. In-bay automatic car washes in which the car is driven into a bay and then a machine and dryer rolls back and forth over it. This is often seen at gas stations and stand-alone car wash sites.<\/li>\n
  3. Self-service, where the customer does the washing manually using including pressurized jet washing.<\/li>\n
  4. Mobile car washes which are completed using water tanks and pressure washers often mounted on trailers, trucks, or in vans. Car detailing is often an add-on or included service for mobile car wash businesses.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
