When embarking on a new business or overhauling an existing one a common goal is to optimise the return on the investment; and the car wash industry is no different! Getting the right site and the site right can often take many months or years to find and develop. However, with careful planning and by having the appropriate design professionals to guide you along the way you'll be one step ahead of the pack.
Unfortunately it’s not a ‘cookie cutter’ approach when it comes to designing a car wash. Every site is different with its own unique features to be exploited and problems to be minimised and overcome. Sites differ in location, size, land zoning, building restrictions, overlays or easements, driveways can be in different locations and so on. All of which need to be taken into account to design a successful car wash layout. Once you have a practical well thought-out layout you will be well on your way to ensure that your customers are happy and will remain loyal to your business.
The main pit falls commonly found in poorly designed car wash sites include; sub-optimal car wash bay sizes, poor on-site traffic flow, restrictive queuing and turning areas, poor building design affecting the car wash equipment installation and functionality, overspray from wash bays spraying into adjoining properties, poor site security, inadequate acoustic performance, outdated site signage, and undersized plant (equipment) rooms and storage areas.
At Prowash Australia we recommend consulting an industry professional that specialises in car wash design to ensure that your site is developed to its full potential. Having your site designed by a car wash design professional will greatly increase the chances of developing a successful site layout, they will be able to give advice about optimising the amount of wash bays, vending/vacuum bays that can be placed on your site, they can liaise with your car wash equipment supplier to ensure that all requirements are taken into account and they can design a structure that ultimately meets your budget and timeframe.
If you are considering developing a new car wash or upgrading your existing facility please contact us at Prowash Australia so we can direct you to a car wash design professional that is best suited to your needs.
