This car wash made a million in one year! Case study of the 26 Kwietnia car wash

Starting point

The oldest car wash in Szczecin was long past its prime. Underinvested, the site had stopped being attractive to customers. Despite an excellent location – on a busy street next to a large housing estate – the 4-bay touchless car wash earned only around PLN 20,000 a month.

On top of that, constant technical problems and additional repair costs meant that running the business was no longer profitable for the investor.

Growth potential

From the very beginning we saw the potential of this place: a great location, heavy traffic on nearby through roads and a shopping centre close by. A site like this is not a passive business – at some point it needs a thorough overhaul and decisive changes. In this case, the key word was modernisation.

Modernisation – a chance for a better business

Not a trace of the old car wash remained. That was the plan – remove everything and build it again in line with best practice, know-how and our many years of experience.

From the start we knew the end goal and planned step by step what needed to be done. As part of the modernisation we replaced the most important elements of the site:

• the structure – the old aluminium structure was replaced with a new hot-dip galvanised steel one, with fascias in the Lumi design and energy-saving LED lighting,
• the technical container – replaced with a new one, suited to further operation and easier servicing,
• the wash technology – a new installation made 100% of stainless steel,
• v2 control panels – modern, ergonomic and convenient for customers,
• bay equipment – new booms, lances, holsters, lighting and additional wash programmes,
• the money changer – in the most advanced version, with additional functions for selling and topping up cards,
• the vacuum cleaner – a professional vacuum cleaner with additional equipment,
• online payments – bank card readers at every bay,
• apps and a loyalty system – White Label and Carwash Manager for managing the car wash and serving fleet customers.

A million in one year!

After the modernisation, the touchless car wash on 26 Kwietnia Street in Szczecin generated revenue of around PLN 1 million in 2023. This means that a single wash bay generates more than PLN 20,000 in revenue a month – several times more than before the modernisation.
