RETROFIT OF AN EMINENT SITE FROM THE CARLOVERS DAYS
FYSHWICK CAR AND DOG WASH
- Fyshwick, ACT
This site was purchased after the closure of the CarLovers franchise within Australia and became known as the Fyshwick Car and Dog Wash.
At the time their automatic machine was an outdated LaserWash™ 4000 that had been running for more than 15 years and was due for renewal due to the advancements in wash technology.
The owners naturally opted for a LaserWash™ 360 Plus model, knowing how reliable their previous LaserWash™ had been for so many years.
Being savvy owners they also included Dryers, OverGlow, LaserGlow and High Side Blasters, knowing the value it adds to both the customer and their bottom line.
The site also had a full self serve upgrade, opting for the polished look of lucabond panels over the top of the old bay wall tiles.
New vacuums, change machine and an ANZTEC entry unit finished off the retrofit accordingly.
What a difference it all makes!
WORK UNDERTAKEN
Carwash World removed the 15-year-old LaserWash™ 4000 and retrofitted the automatic bay to a brand new LaserWash™ 360 Plus with various add-ons, including Dryer, Laserglow, Overglow and High Side Blaster systems.
Replaced the dated, old self serve bay wall tiles with modern, clean (and easy to clean!) lucabond panels. Installed new self serve equipment such as high-pressure guns and Splatter Wax.
Added an ANZTEC entry unit to the LaserWash™ 360 Plus.
The Fyshwick Car and Dog Wash also updated their name, signage and branding colours, creating a more modern, clean aesthetic. Their signage is now clearly visible from the road, and the self serve bays, LaserWash™ bays, dog wash and their cafe all look elegant, sophisticated and colourful. They even light up at night!
THE RESULTS
In the months since this retrofit and upgrade, Fyshwick Car and Dog Wash experienced a range of benefits – for both customers and the business.
They significantly increased the amount of cars going through the automatic on a daily basis due to the much faster wash speed of the LaserWash™ 360 Plus machines.
They increased their ROI and customer spend with the introduction of Dryers, Overglow and High Side Blasters to their wash packages, adding both a dollar and consumer perceived value.
Switching out the LaserWash™ 4000 meant that maintenance overheads and downtime were significantly reduced, which led to more operating hours and less time and money spent on technical issues.
Customers really engaged with the huge updates done to the site, with glowing reviews and feedback from both new and regular clients.
