Share with us the USP of your brand.

In automobile industry, the segment of car washing business has been untapped and untouched. Speed Car Wash realised the serious need of a professional car wash service which is lacking in the Indian automobile market. Our technology is recommended worldwide/ vice a versa adopted by us too. It is a unique mechanised car cleaning concept where cars get pampered by the latest equipments including high pressure cleaning machines, spray extraction machines, high powered vacuum cleaners, steam cleaners etc. I would say uniqueness is the USP of Speed Car Wash. Consuming less time and providing a quality wash service of its class.

According to you, what are the driving factors of this industry?

Indian economy is an emerging one where spending power of each individual is increasing gradually. Indian car owners do not have many options for car cleaning and detailing, so they are still bound to take their cars to the road side garages for cleaning services. The car washing business has a handful of competitive advantages. It lacks a dominant national chain. There is severe need for a professional car cleaning organisation which can really provide an ultimate car cleaning experience. So, demand for a professional and reliable cleaning brand is higher than ever and is going to increase further.

Is the future of this industry bright in the years to come?

Very bright. With over 35 million vehicles on road in India, the fifth largest in the world and ever increasing at the rate of 10 per cent every year, the industry is estimated to become third largest by 2025. By 2025 every third car manufactured will be sold in India. Since the number of cars will increase there would be a high demand for car washing business and detailing services also.

What encouraged you to take the franchise route?

After the successful response of our outlet at Ludhiana, we started getting enquiries from neighbouring cities in Punjab. The demand for a professional car wash service was the key which motivated us to franchise thus reaching beyond out territory / limit. The power of franchising is realised through the combination of the contributions from the two participants. The quality services, convenience and cost effective benefits of using Speed Car Wash help our franchisees grow their businesses. We are the business of happy customers.
