Automotive Guide Damage Claims; Mobile Car Wash VS Fixed Site Car Wash

By: Lance Winslow
Automotive Guide

Most people that go to a car wash do not consider that there is a chance that the carwash might damage their car. Even some people who have had their car damage do not even realize it at the time. For instance the brushes might scratch the finish on the car and remove some of the clear coat or put slight scratches that are below the clear coat in the paint that can never be buffed out or fixed completely.

The Carwash Industry Surveys show that the average car wash pays out over $1100 per year in damage claims to carwash customers. In fact that is a lot of money if you also consider the deductible issues with insurance. And that is the average, some car washes may have none and others have quite a bit. Should you risk going to a carwash with your brand new car? Well, it may not be that bad or that great of a risk but you should consider this.

Having been in the mobile carwash business, I can say that our crews never damaged cars. I think this is because we had a hand wash for our customers. We did not have robotic machines that we could not control and we used soft lambs wool mitts and Terry cloth towels and chamois.

Even though the chance of having your car damaged at a fixed site carwash is low perhaps you might consider this and think about hiring mobile carwash instead. Of course I am partial because I ran a mobile carwash service and later franchised it into many states. But nevertheless this is food for thought.
