I've seen 12 (the car wash while shopping idea) done at some higher end shopping malls.
In austin, there's a downtown car wash place walking distance from our main park / pool / mini golf.
- hrabago 15y agoIn some Asian cities, it doesn't have to be a high end shopping mall. People with newer cars get approached by mall employees after they're parked, and are offered car wash service. You pay right there, and the car is clean by the time you get back.
- nikcub 15y agoI can confirm that throughout Australia and Asia that getting your car washed while you shop is a very ordinary thing. Almost every shopping center around my place in Aus has this service.
- mwilcox 15y agoNew Zealand too.
- nico 15y agoSame in Chile. But there's also a company that's doing incredibly well, offering to wash cars while people are at work. So basically car wash in the parking lot of office buildings.
- ja27 15y agoYes, there are car wash / detail companies at both of the nearby malls here (U.S.) and at our office building once a week. What I like about their plan is that it's a little easier for them to target people with disposable income. I imagine one in a Walmart parking lot wouldn't do very well. I saw something the other week that I hadn't seen before. It looked like a personal trainer was working out a client in our office parking lot. He set up cones, heavy rope, some weights, etc.

- cnu 15y agoIts there in some malls in India too. They call it a car spa.
- vyrotek 15y agoI'm surprised WalMart hasn't done this yet. I can already get my oil and tires changed there.
- sunsu 15y agoThere is also one in the parking garage at The Domain in Austin. First time I saw it, I was struck by how good an idea it was.
- Michiel 15y agoYesterday I saw a car from a company that comes to your home or office to wash your car, eco friendly too (according to the slogans on the side of the car).
