5 Helpful Tips to Help You Build and Grow Your Car Wash

Car washes are different in their own way. It is incredibly important to build as much experience as possible so that you can identify what makes each one successful, then use that information to correct problems when they arise during a troubleshooting process. 

Follow these helpful tips if you want to build a successful car wash business.

1) Try to Reduce Labour  

One of the most expensive components of a car wash business is labour. There are plenty of ways to reduce costs with labour. For example, you can try to automate equipment such as the cash register. 

By automating some of the labour-intensive tasks, you’ll free up more time for your employees to perform the jobs that need to be done. Equipment automation is one of the most effective ways to reduce labour costs and should always be considered when building a new car wash.

2) Work With Invested Operators

A major advantage of horizontal car wash operators is that they move into a new location and are ready to operate in just a few weeks. It is a huge advantage because they are going to be bringing in new customers (i.e. their investment) with them.

You may already be familiar with car wash operators because you may have already worked with them before. You will want to look for car wash operators that are willing to operate under a franchise or license agreement.

3) Don’t Underbuild

When building a car wash, there are a few different components that you should focus on. The most important component is the tunnel. The tunnel is very important because it determines whether or not the car wash is going to be a success. As a general rule of thumb, it is better to build a car wash tunnel a bit larger than necessary.

This is because the car wash tunnel needs to be able to handle the maximum number of cars that are typically going to pass through. That’s why it is often a better idea to build your tunnel a bit larger than you think you need.

4) Don’t Underestimate Depreciation

You should never underestimate the effects of depreciation. Car wash equipment will last for a long time, but it’s important to remember that they do have an expiration date. For example, a car wash tunnel from 10 years ago is going to be very different from a car wash tunnel from today.

The newer technology that is being used today is going to be more expensive than the older technology used before. Even though older technology may not be as expensive as new technology, it can still cost a lot of money to keep up with the changes. That’s why depreciation is so important.

5) Start Small and Move Fast

You should never underestimate the value of starting small and moving fast. You need to have a plan that is going to help you build a new car wash. The car wash needs to be small enough that you can build it on your own. 

Conclusion

There are plenty of things that can go wrong with a car wash. The most important factors for the success of a car wash is the location and the equipment. However, it is also important to consider depreciation.

When building your business, it’s best to get a professional opinion. CCW Solutions offers car wash for sale in Edmonton to get you started. Get in touch with us today to learn more.
