Mechanical breakdowns can be the worst nightmare for a car wash owner, and it's easy to understand why. Expensive mishaps and long repairs are a ubiquitous risk. One way to minimize the risk of equipment failure and downtime is to follow scheduled preventive maintenance.
There is an important difference between preventive maintenance and reactive repair. Too often, preventive maintenance of car washes is considered an easy way to reduce costs. Failure to do so may result in additional equipment damage that could have been prevented. These reactive repairs can cost far more than general preventative maintenance and lead to lost profits if the car wash can not be used.
The obligation to have regular and effective maintenance is a task that may seem discouraging to washer operators, although it is necessary and ultimately useful. One way to more easily manage maintenance tasks and to ensure that the planned service requirements are met is to create routine checklists of the maintenance program for your specific car wash. Local distributors can also help optimize maintenance routines by providing recommendations and recommendations based on experience and helping operators create a personalized checklist.

Daily, weekly, monthly and semi-annual checklists ensure that most daily tasks and maintenance requirements are met. Regardless of specific tasks, the documentation of the checklists increases the responsibility for maintenance and creates a roadmap that streamlines the work process for the car wash staff.
Once the specific car wash checklists have been perfected and documented, they should be in an area that is easily accessible to staff. Every employee must have responsibilities and responsibilities. Once these tasks have been completed, the documentation must be completed, including the end date and if additional repairs or inspections are required. If additional repairs are required, they should be handled through the appropriate channels, ideally by an authorized service technician.
Regardless of service level, it is always recommended to use a certified service technician. Certified technical programs, such as the PDQ University Factory Certification Program, ensure that only certified technicians with in-depth knowledge of a particular cleaning system and its components can carry out the work and demonstrate their experience in repairs and repairs. The right repairs are done promptly and safely, which cuts costs and downtime can be saved.
By completing these tasks and working closely with a distributor, unplanned shutdowns are kept to a minimum and the cost will be well below the costs associated with repairing or replacing equipment, excessive downtime and loss of income. If all this is taken into account, it is obvious that preventive maintenance is not only useful to the car wash operator, but is also profitable.
