The upgrade of two Melbourne car washes.
This long-term Good Sight client owns two car wash sites in the Melbourne area. With the installation of a new Istobal combination machine at one of their sites, we were able to recondition and relocate the old soft wash machine to their other facility. The reconditioned machine replaced a very old machine at the second facility so, in effective, both facilities were upgraded for the price of one!
With only a soft wash machine at the first site, the owner was losing customers by not offering an automatic touchless wash option.
It’s important to note that many customers prefer a touchless wash because they believe it avoids potential scratches on the car’s exterior paintwork (contrary to evidence proving this to be false).
A soft wash machine, however, is still a necessity because other customers prefer the more thorough clean offered by the agitative action of a soft cloth wash.
The solution… The Istobal combination touchless and soft wash machine. This is a cost-effective approach that is ideal for sites with limited space availability.
The solution for this customer was the installation of a combination touchless and soft wash machine. This is a cost-effective approach that is ideal for sites with limited space availability.
After removing the older soft wash machine from the original site, we took it away and reconditioned it at our Victorian factory. It was then installed at the client’s second site where they now enjoy the reliability and upgraded features of a reconditioned machine for a mere fraction of the cost of purchasing new equipment.
Meanwhile, back at the original site, due to the introduction of the choice of a touchless or soft wash, more customers are visiting the facility and revenue has increased dramatically.
It was a win-win all round – thanks to the expertise and ingenuity of our sales team and technicians.
