GROWING MARKET DEMAND
People are also becoming more aware of the environmental benefits of a commercial car wash, in terms of water preservation and pollution. There's a growing understanding that a well set up commercial car wash will ensure pollutants are not running straight into stormwater drainage systems and into our waterways.

DO YOU HAVE THE RIGHT SITE?
As a developer and site owner, your location and visibility is hugely important, as is the amount of traffic that passes by. Calculating anticipated wash volumes and developing a business plan from those numbers will go a long way to creating sustained success.

CONSIDER THE OPTIONS
In-bay automatics and self-serves have low operating costs with low to moderate hands on day-to-day requirements, require less capital and have a much smaller learning curve. Barriers to entry are generally lower, and profits can be realised in as little as 6 to 12 months.
We highly encourage using a specialist who can custom-tailor your design and manage the planning, architecture, civil, hydraulics, traffic and acoustic planning for you. Carwash World provides advice from those who have been in the industry for a long time and have been through the process over and over again.
