If you can’t replace the
whole system…
Not every operator can afford an entirely
new conveyor system, though, and our
experts agreed there are solutions for every
budget. For instance, Ryan Essenburg,
chief operating officer of Tommy Car Wash
Systems, said the simplest of updates
doesn’t even require new technology.
“Paint jobs do wonders,” Essenburg
suggested, adding that operators should
consider a new color in order to make the
change obvious. “Clean up the exterior.
Add different architectural components
or metal panels to the exterior to reinvent
your look.”
For operators who are looking for an
equipment upgrade, consider the addi-
tion of a tire shiner to reduce labor costs
and increase throughput. “They are not
just for express washes anymore,” Schrum
Evaluate the conditions of your
mitters, nozzles and pumps and look
for upgrades which might
improve thier performance.
