The Next Generation



As the wheel of time turns, so does the generational shift in consumer behaviour, and nowhere is this more evident than in the evolution of the next generation of carwash customers. Many of today's adult drivers have fond memories of their childhood visits to self-serve carwashes, where the experience was more than just about getting the family vehicle cleaned; it was an adventure filled with excitement and anticipation.

For these individuals, the allure of the carwash wasn't just the promise of a shiny, spotless car—it was the sensory experience, the thrill of the machinery, and the theatrics of the LaserWash Touchfree automatic system that captured their imaginations. Fast forward to today, and these once wide-eyed kids have now become the discerning customers of the carwash industry.

The journey from being spectators to drivers is a fascinating one. Growing up with a visit to the carwash being a regular family outing, these individuals developed a unique appreciation for the meticulous care and attention that goes into maintaining a vehicle. The LaserWash Touchfree automatic system, with its cutting-edge technology and efficiency also left a lasting impression on their young minds with many fondly remembering the rainbow wax raining down all over them as the wash cycle climaxed.

Now, as adults taking the wheel, these individuals are not merely customers; they are connoisseurs of the carwash experience. The carwash isn’t just a chore; it's a journey back to the days of pressing buttons and watching the magical transformation of their family car.

Carwash businesses are adapting to this shift in consumer preferences. They are enhancing their services to cater to the expectations of this next generation of customers—individuals who value efficiency, technology, eco-friendliness, and, above all, a memorable experience.

The current wave of carwash customers from the next generation comes well-versed in the art of vehicle care, eliminating the need for introductory lessons or explanations about their carwash experience. Their familiarity with the process has been a key factor in the overwhelming success of our carwash sites, prompting a surge in demand for additional locations nationwide.

As we witness this remarkable trend, now is an opportune moment to assess the status of your carwash facility. Consider whether equipment upgrades are in order, if the conversion of a self-serve bay to a touchfree automatic would enhance customer satisfaction, or if your community can support the establishment of a new facility to meet the growing demands of these savvy consumers.
