How To Lather Up For A Prosperous Car Wash South Carolina Business

By Jennifer White


Staring any kind of business has to be handled with care. There should not be room left for failure or mistakes. One must build an armor of information to revert to when making important decisions in the beginning stages. A car wash South Carolina business is no different. The first thing to understand is the different types. There is the traditional hand cleaning which does not really take much. A few garnishing have been added to this staple but nothing to panic about. There is also a self-service business which has the clients paying money into a machine then proceeding to serve themselves.

In-bay cleaning is some sort of contraption with cleaning elements. The car is entered in there with all sorts of dirt, it comes out the other end spotless. The tunnel system is a different version of in bay. The vehicle is passed through the system on a conveyor belt. Steam cleaning is very popular for how polite it is. It does not hurt the factory paint.

There is a mobile service that moves around with all the necessary implements. Kind of like a delivered cleaning service. This is encountered at malls mostly and is suitable for charity functions. Another new industry entrant is the waterless wash. This only uses chemicals which pick the dirt from the surface and wrap them up then toss them.

Knowing these types of auto cleaning businesses will help one recognize the kind of clientele the town has to offer. Which type appeals to the masses most? Which type still has not been introduced in town but would do well if introduced? Would it be best to combine a few of the types into one entity? These are the kinds of questions that enable one to recognize a gap in the market and how to best take advantage.

Every business requires resources. Each of the mentioned types will require different equipment and different kinds of personnel. The hand cleaning is particularly easy as there is no expertise required in buying buckets and sponges. The staff also need not be specially trained to use soap and water on a surface. The rest though, one will need to know the cost of equipment and which equipment offers the most value for money.

One must strive to find the best possible location. This can be a make or break for the new business. Location scouting must be done early in the process. Some of the equipment requires space. Ensure enough time is set aside to find a location that fits both the equipment and is strategic.

Surveying the competition is imperative. How else will one know what is missing from those businesses? There is always something to learn from the competition. Both from what works for them and what does not. There could be a way to tweak their failures and make them work for the business. There is no way to know until the competition has been reviewed.

It is important to keep everything on the up and up. This includes finding out about the legal requirements, such as the forms one would need filling. How long would it take to get approval? Will that affect any other aspect?
