5 PITFALLS IN CARWASH INVESTING

Your Next Maintenance Upgrade When strategizing how to drive more traffic to your carwash, the first thoughts usually stray towards shiny new upgrades, updating your wash menus or functions, new attractive signage, or a social media campaign to push some free washes for a few days. However, some of the biggest impacts on customer perception of your facility aligns with the exact reason why they stop into your wash in the first place: cleanliness and maintenance. Customers that visit an undermaintained wash are naturally going to assume that their vehicle is going to leave the parking lot in the same condition. Maintaining a clean and well-functioning car wash is crucial for leaving a positive impression on customers and ensuring the longevity of your equipment and your wash bays. Regardless of what kind of wash you operate, regular cleaning is an essential part of your business's success, especially in some of the harsh conditions created in the carwash. One of the most effective methods for keeping your car wash spotless and running smoothly is regularly washing using hot water pressure washers. Models like the Aaladin 13-325, 13-311, and 41-425 , when coupled with an 18" surface cleaner attachment, provide an efficient, powerful cleaning solution that saves both time and money, despite some upfront cost.

HYDRO-SPRAY WASH SYSTEMS PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT Aaladin Professional Pressure Washers Like the carwashing portion of our business here at Hydro-Spray Wash Systems, when it comes to pressure washing, we put an enormous amount of focus on equipment. We are always on the lookout for new innovations in the industry to offer to our customers, as well as standing by the relied-upon, tried and true offerings from manufacturers that figured out how to do things right years ago. One of those that we're the most proud to work with is Aaladin. Back when we were still manufacturing professional self-serve equipment out of our Clearfield, PA facility, there were a couple of core tenets that we always stood by when it came to how we approached developing and building our equipment. Quality Parts: While it seems like a no-brainer, focusing on quality componentry, like stainless steel frames and non-proprietary parts was a no-compromise situation for us when it came to manufacturing our equipment. It's also one of the biggest things we take into account when vetting new equipment to offer for our customers. Serviceability: Eventually, every piece of equipment needs to be serviced. Through our years of designing products, we always focused on making maintenance as easy as possible by labeling components on the machines we manufactured, by using easily obtainable parts to reduce downtime, and by designing our equipment to allow easy access to componentry that needs adjusting and maintenance. Made in the USA: We worked our hardest to source components and materials that were either locally fabricated or made in the USA.
