How to take care of your car wash equipment

Do you know how to take care of your car wash equipment? The profitability of your car wash business is determined by how well your equipment and tools are working.

clean car wash equipment regularly

Car cleaning equipment is in constant contact with dirt, grime, hard water and corrosion. It not only affects functionality, but also shortens life expectancy. Make sure your attendants are cleaning everything down frequently.

Even a single worn-down hose can bring your entire car washing machinery to a halt. It therefore makes sense to replace worn out, damaged or corroded parts as soon as possible. Quality parts ensures better customer experience. Don’t forget if something is hard to use, chances are your customers are not satisfied.

regular servicing of your car wash equipment

When purchasing car wash equipment, you should be allocating funds for regular, scheduled maintenance by the supplier of your equipment. These technicians are well versed in how best to maintain machinery, and will often be able to identify an issue before it turns into a breakdown. Treat your new equipment like you would your car. You wouldn’t buy a new car and not have it serviced by a professional, this should be no different.

As touched on, themost exploited equipment is likely to be worn out sooner. Therefore, you will have to clean, repair, replace such parts more often. Don’t wait for a hose to split, replace them on a regular roster to ensure they are always in working order.

attend to heavily used car wash equipment
educate your staff about your car wash equipment

Considering equipment is overseen by your staff most of the time, it makes sense to educate them about maintenance. Be sure to allocate attendants maintenance duties of each specific piece of equipment. Companies like Prowash Australia offer a car washing 101 course that will help site owners get staff up to speed with things such as titration, water softening and much more.
