Top 3 Reasons Investors Invest in

Express Car Wash System

✔ Why Car Washes are Booming

✔ Major Car Wash Types

✔ Car Wash Stats

Why Car Washes are Booming

● 83% of Americans who own or lease a vehicle used a Professional Car Wash (PRO) at least once in the past year. This is the highest percentage of PRO washers since the ICA conducted its first U.S. Consumer Study in 1996.

● Home washing declined in popularity. The fact is, we live a world where convenience and quality are paramount. This is clearly evidenced as at-home washing (DIY) declined dramatically, from 54% in 2016 to 42% in 2019. Car washes could not be more on-trend.

● The desire for convenience and quality reached an all-time high among past-year car wash consumers. 77.5% chose a PRO wash most often while DIY most often declined to just 22.5%. This increase in the mix of PRO most often versus DIY most often is in sharp contrast with the mix just three years ago.

● The health of the U.S. economy is huge. The confluence of record-low unemployment, strong consumer confidence and a 40-year-high in new vehicle sales were instrumental.

● Car Wash price/value is both fair and reasonable. Only 23% of all consumers expressed any dissatisfaction with the price paid per wash.

○

● New vehicle owners are passionate about keeping their new vehicle looking new. 57% of new vehicle owners (3 years old or newer) wash their vehicles at a car wash once a month or more often compared to 44% of owners of vehicles more than 10 years old.

● The passion for a clean car is rational and logical. 59% of Americans believe that washing a vehicle is an important and necessary part of routine maintenance. It protects the value of their vehicle, prevents rusting and is part of regular vehicle maintenance.

● But even more so, the deepest passion lives in the heart. 86% say that “a clean vehicle makes me feel good” while 78% see it as “a good reflection on me.”

● The love of a clean car is fueling unlimited wash programs. 14% of consumers claim to be members. The upside potential to drive membership is huge and another reason to be buoyed.

● The desire for convenience extends to location. The growth of the industry is making car washes more convenient to find. Greater penetration and visibility triggers both the rational and emotional desire to have their vehicle look its best.

3 Major Car Wash Types

In-Bay Automatic/ Self Service

Express Tunnel

Full Service

In the car wash market, three primary types stand out: express tunnel, in-bay automatic, and self-service. Self-service demands customers to clean their vehicles themselves, lacking convenience. In-bay automatic options have limitations in the number of cars they can efficiently wash per hour, impacting throughput. Express tunnels merge the ease of automatic service with impressive efficiency in handling a large volume of vehicles. They provide a balance of convenience and high throughput, making them a preferred choice for many seeking a quick and effective wash.

Express tunnels are the fastest growing segment of the car wash industry. These systems utilize a series of automated machines and processes, swiftly guiding vehicles through a predetermined sequence of cleaning stages. These systems are known for their efficiency, handling multiple cars simultaneously and delivering a quick yet thorough wash in a matter of minutes. The conveyor belt technology in express tunnels are valued for their ability to maximize throughput and reduce wait times for customers. These wash systems often incorporate advanced technologies for precise cleaning, making them popular choices for car wash businesses aiming for speed, efficiency, and quality service.
