Highest Ticket Average: The full-service wash stands out for its income potential, claiming the highest ticket average per car among all car wash business models. This is attributed to the perceived value of the wash and the personalized customer interaction.
 

Customer Interaction: Full-service car washes facilitate multiple points of contact with customers, including the service adviser or greeter, the cashier, and the employee delivering the cleaned vehicle. Each interaction provides an opportunity to add value to services and gather valuable feedback from loyal customers, a level of interaction unmatched by other car wash segments.
 

Customer Loyalty: Despite the higher cost of entry and steeper learning curve, a well-executed full-service model creates hurdles for competitors, making it challenging to lure away loyal customers. This acts as a protective barrier, ensuring customer loyalty and retention.
