Description:
In the In-Bay Automatic / Rollover Business Model, the customer experience is straightforward and convenient:
-
Wash Selection: Customers make their wash purchase at an unattended terminal, selecting their desired wash package.
-
Drive-In and Park: After payment, they drive their vehicle into the wash bay and put it in park.
-
Automated Cleaning: The car wash equipment moves back and forth and/or around the vehicle to clean and, in most cases, dry it.
Types of In-Bay Automatic Car Washes:
-
Friction Washing: Utilizes chemicals and soft cloth or foam to clean the vehicle effectively.
-
Touchless Washing: Uses chemicals and high-pressure water to clean the vehicle without making physical contact.
Key Features of In-Bay Automatic / Rollover:
-
Cost-Effective Solution: In-Bay automatic washes are an economically sound choice. Their smaller footprint makes them less expensive to build, and they can fit on smaller parcels compared to tunnel and self-serve washes. It's not uncommon to find in-bay automatic washes at petrol station/convenience store locations.
-
Low Maintenance and Fewer Claims: These washes typically require less maintenance and experience fewer damage claims compared to tunnel washes. In-bay automatic washes can often operate without full-time attendants, allowing for 24-hour operation, and maximizing convenience for your customers.
