Car Wash Spring Cleaning

   Proper maintenance of your car wash should always be on the top of your mind. This allows you to run with optimum efficiency while still being a reliable car wash providing the results that your customers expect from you every time. When a business has clean equipment and facilities it can change the customer's view. This allows you to be seen as the professional business that you are. This is a great way to create long relationships with your customers. Now that springtime is here it is the best time to get cleaning.   

   Spring cleaning and regular maintenance truly go hand in hand. With regular maintenance you are able to reduce the possibility of bigger future repairs. As your washing equipment ages it needs more inspections and this often will include cleaning, repairing, and replacing any broken parts in the wash. To prevent these issues regular care of your car wash is a must.  

   Spring cleaning starts off with the simple grime, making sure the wash is clean and operating correctly. When your wash is dirty it can prevent moving parts from working smoothly. Making sure that you have proper drainage is very important as well, making sure to not leave behind residue remaining from your washes for the next customer. With dirt and grime build up important things like belts used in the tunnel floors and brushes could malfunction and not present themself the way you'd like.   

   Another point to focus on is checking your water system for leaks in pipes and hoses. These things could lead to a loss in water pressure making your system clean poorly compared to others.   

   When running a self serve car wash you gather wash tools regularly, it is very important to keep them maintained and reliable. You can expect the equipment to perform its functions with fewer breakdowns when taken care of properly. Well-maintained equipment will last longer and save you the costs of adding new equipment frequently.   

   Maintenance not only makes your equipment sharp, but it also makes you appear even more professional. Making a good impression on your customers by keeping everything in working order, providing the best car wash possible for them keeps them coming back. With proper care you can guarantee their satisfaction with equipment that operates at the best level possible from Mark VII.
