Happy Customers.
Clean cars sell. They also influence customers’ opinions of your service department. No longer are dealership car washes an afterthought, especially if you want to outshine the competition.
If you’re thinking about adding carwash equipment to your dealership, here are 5 advantages to consider:
1. Make a good first impression. It’s easier to sell new cars and used vehicles when your inventory looks its best. Anyone who’s in the market for a vehicle wants one that’s well maintained. Clean vehicles instill confidence in your customers and prospects.
2. Create profit center. Think of how many vehicles you deal with a year, including:
Owning an automatic carwash system can pay off faster than you realize. Switching from hand washing to an in-bay automatic can cut your operational costs, manage your environmental impact (an efficient, automated carwash can take as little as 14 gallons of water) and increase the number of vehicles you wash every day. Not to mention, a touch-free system never takes a day off or scratches a customer’s car! It’s not unusual for our customers to report double-digit percentage growth in profitability when they select the right carwash.
3. Boost your CSI score. Every dealership is looking for ways to lift their Customer Service Index (CSI) score. Innovative car dealers keep raising the bar higher. Providing customers with a high-quality, quick, hassle-free carwash goes a long way towards raising your CSI score.
4. Attract a steady stream of visitors to your car lot and into your showroom. If your car wash is open to the public, more people will be driving through your car lot each month to go through the car wash. This puts your business in front of more potential customers.
5. Keep customers coming back. A carwash system is a huge value-added benefit that delights customers, helps preserve their vehicle and inspires loyalty.
While an automatic carwash system at your dealership provides tremendous value for your business and your customers, you can’t just install any carwash. Partnering with a reliable, reputable carwash equipment supplier is the key to success.
