Tunnel and Conveyor Business Models
Tunnel and conveyor business models are one of the most common business models, operating through the placement of the vehicle onto a conveyor belt. Unlike other business models, there are lots of options for tunnel and conveyor car washes, and they can be broken down into several categories.
Express Exterior
Express exterior business models are valuable for their lower labour expenses, higher volume, and increased levels of customer satisfaction. Learn more about the various benefits of this model.
Exterior
The exterior business model is renowned for its high levels of customer service, featuring greeting service advisors. It has fewer employees than a full-service car wash, and optional extra services increase the ticket average per customer along with their satisfaction. Find out more about this model.
Flex-Service
The main advantages of flex-service business models are an increase in customer convenience, flexibility of services which allows for longer operationality, and an increase in ease of labour management due to the location of the service being condensed. Learn more about flex-service models.
Full-Service
The full-service business model gives a customer the full package. They have the highest ticket average per car, feature welcoming customer interaction, and encourage customer loyalty which is invaluable in diminishing the effect of competitors. Find out more about full-service models.
Car Wash Access Systems for Petrol Stations

Self-Service Car Wash Access Systems
With a self-service car wash, you can leave the cleaning up to the customer, allowing them to make use of a number of cleaning features. Our self-service access systems are priced based on time, contrasting with our other systems. Some of the benefits of this model are:
- Equipment. As the equipment is for self-service it is cheaper than if it were for an automatic car wash, and more easily replaceable.
- Damage claims. As the customer is doing the work, you’re less likely to receive damage claims.
- Limitations. The range of equipment available increases the functionality of this business model.
