Good investors make sure they are fully informed before making a buying decision. That's why we want you to know all about the car washing business before you spend a single cent on a self-service, rollover or tunnel operation.

Our Investing Guides for self-service, in-bay automatic and tunnel washes have been developed to provide you with a wealth of knowledge on a number of topics, including site selection, purchasing options, marketing strategies, ancillary services and wash options.

Self-Service Car Washes
Coin-operated, self-service facilities provide car wash services to customers who prefer to wash their vehicles themselves. These models draw a wide range of customers from all age groups and income levels and attract men and women alike.

In-Bay Automatic Washes
Your business can benefit from the added productivity of an in-bay automatic. As well as providing a fast and hands-free wash for your customers in two to four minutes, an in-bay automatic wash can deliver six times the productivity from the same amount of space required for a single self-service bay.

Tunnel (Conveyor) Washes
Touch-free tunnels use high-pressure water along with specially formulated solutions to clean vehicles. The two main types of tunnel washes are:

• Exterior-only (mini) tunnel wash - Capable of washing 50-100 cars per hour, mini tunnels are ideal for high-volume locations where a fast wash is of the essence. Drivers normally remain in their vehicles for this type of wash.
  
• Full-service tunnel wash - Capable of washing up to 200 cars per hour, this type of business offers customers a clean car-inside and out.
