Discuss your project scope
Before our first conversation
Four quick answers.
Can I start without a site or a company?+
Yes. An idea and the town or area you are considering are enough to get started. We will help you work out what information to gather next.
Is the car wash design included in the price?+
After a car wash supply contract is signed, we prepare the design at no additional charge. In other cases, we charge a deposit which is settled when the contract is fulfilled.
The design must be adapted by a local designer. The scope of documentation, adaptation and approvals is agreed for each project.
How large does the site need to be?+
The number of bays, plot shape and access are key. Allow space for traffic flow, queues and additional equipment too. We assess the options using a layout tailored to the site.
How much space a car wash needsCan I expand my car wash later?+
Plan for expansion from the outset. Rapid supports up to 3 bays. Express supports up to 6 bays per container and allows you to plan for further growth. We define the final layout during the design stage.
