The car park in our country is growing from year to year. With so many cars, purchasing your own car wash is a smart and effective investment of money. Moreover, according to statistics, most car owners prefer to wash their cars not on their own, but at specialized car washes.
Instructions
Step 1
Before buying your own car wash, choose the type that suits your financial capabilities and preferences. The sink should be a covered room for 2-3 cars and can be either fully manual or fully automatic (non-contact). Typically, customers prefer automated options, but this will require a very large investment from a budding entrepreneur. With a modest start-up capital, opt for a conventional hand wash. It will cost 5-6 thousand dollars and will quickly pay for itself.
Step 2
When purchasing a car wash as your own business, make a preliminary business plan. In it, calculate the income, profitability and return on investment of the enterprise. This will help you choose between an open type car wash, a gantry car wash and a tunnel car wash. In the first version (open type) the sprayer and the brush are connected to the central compressor. After the client chooses a set of services, the washer washes the car under the direct control of the client. The gantry type is fully automated. The client enters the car wash and stops at the signal, after which the washing equipment turns on and performs the washing and rinsing of the machine. The tunnel is a long tunnel. The car places its front wheels on a conveyor that transports it through the car wash. During this time, standard washing procedures take place.
Step 3
When buying your own car wash, pay attention to its location. It is desirable if it will be located next to the road, and there were no competitors nearby. It is even better when the company is located in a prestigious densely populated area or in an area with a large number of businesses and offices. The building should have convenient access roads. The washing room can be non-capital, but it must necessarily have a drying room, a warehouse for consumables, and a cash desk. Also pay attention to the equipment installed at the sink and the wastewater treatment system.
Step 4
The equipment at the sink includes high-low-pressure equipment. At the first stage of washing, the machine is sprayed with sprayed and softened cold water and high pressure detergent. Then it is washed with brushes with hot softened water and detergent. After that, the reagents are washed off, and the machine is rinsed with plain water under high pressure. Glasses are additionally rinsed with demineralized water at low pressure. At car washes in Russia, the most widely used washing equipment is Karcher, Weidner, Wesumat, Kranzle, California Kleindiest (Germany), Istobal (Spain), Ceccato, Comet (Italy), Carebridge (Great Britain).
Step 5
The water treatment plant system should include inlet treatment filters for incoming water to the enterprise, as well as multi-stage wastewater treatment plants. The presence of a circulating tank allows the use of a circulating water cycle, i.e. when water is repeatedly circulated along the circuit. At the same time, the degree of water purification is maximum, the consumption and discharge of water by the enterprise is minimal. Water treatment plants do not operate at temperatures below minus 5 degrees, therefore they must be installed in heated rooms or in containers.
Step 6
When recruiting personnel, pay attention to the fact that employees understand cars. For round-the-clock operation of the sink, select 5-6 washers and a foreman. Hire students too. Set your salary on a piecework basis, not forgetting about bonuses and bonuses. Be sure to introduce the same branded jumpsuits to maintain the image and style of the enterprise
