Where there are nice cars, there are people who will want to keep those cars nice. If you have a passion for vehicles and are interested in helping other people in your neighborhood take care of their cars, you can open a car washing and detailing business. Taking things a step further and running a luxury car wash will help bring about more clientele. Here are three tips for opening a luxury car wash.
Have an automatic car wash with express detailing
Some clients will be pressed for time and want to get in and out of the car wash quickly. To help customers clean and tidy their vehicles faster, invest in an automatic car wash that will get the exterior of the vehicle completely clean. Once the vehicle has gone through the automatic car wash, have a team wipe down the interior of the car, clean up any trash, and vacuum. An automatic car wash and a five-minute interior cleaning will allow customers on the go to have a spiffy vehicle in a similar time span as a fast food drive-through.
Upgrade the vehicle detailing vacuums
In order to get sand, dirt, pet hair, and other debris out of the cracks and crevices of a car, you will need specialized tools. Upgrade the handheld vacuums that your team uses to high-powered vacuums that come with a number of vacuum tips to help get inside small areas of the vehicle, such as cup holders. Vacuum attachments that specialize in getting out pet hair such as brush heads will help comb and lift pet hair out of the carpets of the vehicles. Good vacuums will help to detail interiors faster and to clients' satisfaction.
Offer a premium, new car cleaning service
Some clients will purchase a new-to-them vehicle that may be a certified pre-owned or pre-owned vehicle. If this is a new family vehicle, a new luxury car purchase, or a purchase to surprise another person, it is proper to get the vehicle cleaned before going on its first official ride after purchase. Offer a "new" car cleaning service that will get a vehicle into properly clean condition. This service should offer an exterior wash, cleaning of all carpets, plus sanitizing, vacuuming, and cleaning the interior of the vehicle and trunk. This premium service is likely to be popular during holidays and seasons of new vehicle releases, so be sure to advertise this service during those times.
