The Benefits Of Refurbishing Your Vehicle Wash System

If your operational costs are sneaking up, and reliability issues are creeping into your vehicle wash solution, it might be time to think about tackling the problem before it escalates into expensive downtime. Although Britannia offers flexible finance solutions for new vehicle cleaning systems, this may not be the answer for everyone. Sometimes, a bit of thoughtful refurbishment is all that’s needed. Here’s why.

Improve Your Sustainability Profile

Sustainability has moved from being a desirable asset to becoming a central organisational concern. Not only is it attractive to both investors and service users, but it is rapidly on its way to becoming an issue of legal compliance. As such, every organisation needs to plan for a future where every drop of waste costs money. This is a blessing in disguise for commercial vehicle washing equipment, as water recapturing and energy efficiency are both immediate financial efficiencies.

Reduce Your Costs

Operational costs are directly related to efficiency. As a general rule, the newer the vehicle cleaning systems, the more efficient it will be. For instance, today’s AI-assisted automated vehicle washing machines from Britannia learn the most rapid and cost-effective pattern for cleaning your vehicles, helping you to increase productivity in the most efficient way. Enhanced speed means reduced energy consumption, and even features such as water recycling can help to save money. Furthermore, reduced breakdowns minimise downtime, which is an immediate financial benefit. Retrofitting your systems can therefore lead to considerable savings.

Improve Your Reliability

Unreliable equipment is one of the major costs in any industry. There is not only the significant cost to equipment downtime, there is also the cost of PR damage. This can be significant, especially if you are using your fleet to advertise your brand. In addition, failing to adhere to strict vehicle cleaning system legislation can result in a variety of penalties. Consequently, the reliability of your vehicle wash system is something that should always be taken very seriously, and even very minor upgrades can make a significant difference to reliability.

Expert Advice

It can be challenging to find parts for older machines, and it is frequently the case that warranties have expired. This can be a significant headache, especially when trying to renew insurance for critical equipment. Many engineers have to think outside the box when trying to troubleshoot and fix antiquated vehicle wash systems, and this can inadvertently lead to problems further down the line. However, at Britannia Wash Systems, our expert engineers can source the correct parts for your machines, and with our accreditations, we can renew your warranties.

Customise And Personalise

If you have operated a vehicle wash system for several years, it is likely that you know exactly what you want and need from it. There may be redundant features that are eating energy. Or you might find that you need a stronger wash or a more rapid turnaround. If your fleet has expanded, speed might have become more pressing than it once was. Only you know exactly what you need from your vehicle wash system, which is why customisation might be ideal for your requirements. By upgrading, you can customise and tailor your equipment to your precise needs. As such, it is an opportunity to improve both efficiency and productivity, while ensuring that you have the maximum return on investment.
