Istobal bus wash installation Sydney.
Good Sight had taken on the servicing and maintenance of an aging bus wash for a large national bus company at the end of 2023.
The old machine had served the busy bus facility reliably and cost-effectively for over 20 years. However, despite remaining operational, it had become increasingly worn, with its components deteriorating more rapidly. Considered a “legacy” machine by the manufacturers, many of its parts were no longer being produced, making repairs more challenging and expensive.
When issues arose in October 2024, a thorough assessment revealed that further repairs would be uneconomical. It was time for a replacement.
Replacing the old bus wash.
After consulting with the bus company’s management team, we recommended the Istobal Compak heavy vehicle wash machine as the ideal replacement.
The Compak offered numerous advantages, including:
- Seamless installation: The Istobal Compak fit perfectly into the existing location without requiring any building alterations, ensuring a cost-effective and efficient upgrade.
- Enhanced capacity: The new Compak now services over 20 buses daily, with capacity to handle many more as their bus fleet grows.
- Advanced features: Equipped with advanced technology, the Compak delivers a superior clean while maintaining operational simplicity.
A clean fleet is not just about aesthetics.
For the bus company, maintaining a clean fleet isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s essential for meeting contractual obligations with government agencies and ensuring a positive experience for public transport users. Additionally, clean buses are easier to maintain, as washing removes dirt and debris that can cause wear and tear on mechanical parts. The onsite bus wash ensures the fleet remains in top condition, supporting both operational efficiency and public image.
