Mobile Car Wash Business Overview Car Wash History
|
Believe or not, car washes have been around since the early 1900's! The first attempt at a car wash used workers to manually push and shepherd cars through each stage of the wash process. A few years later a drive-through car wash was developed (the cars were still pulled through the wash manually) which gave birth to the modern-day automated car wash.
While the early car wash systems certainly introduced a new level of car care convenience, these car washes were not without their problems. As cars were literally dragged by a chain through the car wash, this brute force attempt at automation caused its fair share of damages.

Many cars got caught up in the chain, jumped out of the track, or had their bumpers torn off. Some unfortunate customers even had their car's oil pan pierced - what a mess! Some of the earlier cleaning brush systems were so stiff that they would remove more than just the dirt!. These plastic talons also helped remove the car's paint and chrome.
The car wash industry has certainly come a long way. Not only are today's successful car washes concerned with delivering consistently high-quality cleaning and detailing services, they are doing so with much more attention placed on the environment. Car wash professionals use biodegradable products, waterless washes, and implement sophisticated water recapture technology. These responsible actions help to limit the car wash industry's negative impact on the environment.
In spite of the advances in tools, technology and environment controls, many car wash establishments seem to care very little for the customer, cars, or the community. The quality of their work is spotty, their customer service is nonexistent, and their facilities are dirty and in a constant state of disrepair. Yet customers still go back for more hassle, punishment and automotive abuse.
