METRO INTERNATIONAL - HAND WASH CONVERSIONS

In today’s economic environment, and with all the competition that surrounds you, it is critical to give the customer what they want. By the dramatic drops in full serve hand wash volumes, clearly we are seeing that waiting 45 minutes and paying $15 dollars or more is NOT what TODAY’s car wash customer wants. They want quicker, more convenience and better quality and they are voting with their dollars; choosing modern, fast equipment washes whether they are full serve or express. And they like to have the choice of express weekly low cost “maintenance” washes and the occasional “deep clean” of the full service wash.

Today’s full serve hand wash operator has to evolve to survive. Metro International is the expert in converting hand washes to “flex” washes. We’ve have helped many operators increase their volumes and lower their costs: increasing their bottom line! Isn’t it time you got serious about adapting to the changing market?

Metro International can help you design a low cost mechanized wash system that will allow you to offer a true express wash option, allowing you to wash more cars, with minimal labor requirements. It’s easier than you think. 

And with MI’s new HW Conversion Package, it’s a lot cheaper than you ever imagined.

Bottom line?  At this low price, you’ll pay your investment off in less than a year.  And long term?  You’ll improve your business for the rest of its life.

What others are saying:

Don’t be the last to make this change.  The sooner you convert, the sooner you start saving money and growing volume.  The perception that you will lose customers by adding equipment just isn’t true.  Consumers want value, a consistently delivered quality product, and speed.   Those who have made the conversion can attest to it…

            “I have converted my two facilities from hand washes to equipment washes and I can tell you that I am washing more cars than ever. My car wash volumes are growing at the expense of my competitors. Customers don’t want 30 or 40 minute hand washes. They want 10 – q5 minute car washes that offer them a cleaner, drier, shinier car. I know this for a fact now. My only regret is that I didn’t convert a long time ago.”

MI has been at the forefront of the hand wash conversion trend in Southern California for years; we understand the market and we know the value in the product we deliver.  Other operators who have used us have been amazed at the money they immediately began saving.

“When we sat out to re-invent ourselves from a traditional full serve hand wash, our goal was to lower our labor costs and add an express option that better fit the needs of today’s consumer.  For help, we turned to Metro International. They handled the layout, equipment, installation, marketing – every aspect of the conversion—and we couldn’t have been happier with the results.  We now wash more cars than ever and have greatly reduced our labor costs at the same time.  Thank you, Metro International!”
