Cars and SUVs have risen to 60 yuan a piece
After a small year, the price of ice city car wash doubled, and the high-end car wash sent "blow drying"
The Spring Festival is approaching, after cleaning up the house and dressing up, some car owners are also ready to "bathe" their cars. Has the price of car washes in Harbin risen this year? Do I need to wait in line to wash my car? In this regard, the reporter of the Life Daily made a visit.
Price doubles after a small year, some car washes retain the "membership price"
Xiao Chen runs a small car wash shop in the Xiangfang district of Hashi, and he and two clerks are usually responsible for the car wash work in the store. "Every year, car washes are raised from a young age, and the usual price is 30 yuan a car, 35 yuan a SUV, and now it is 60 yuan a piece, so every year our busiest time is before the small year." After the price increase, there are obviously fewer car washes. Xiao Chen told reporters: "Before the price increase, I had to wash thirty or forty cars every day, from morning to midnight, I couldn't do it at all, and I had to have thirty or forty cars every day. Now you can brush less than twenty cars a day, almost no queue to brush cars, but it is still busier than usual. In order to ensure that the waiting cars can be washed, we only do simple waxing for vehicle beauty, and the price has risen from 30 yuan to 50 yuan. ”
At a car wash shop on Tianshan Road in Nangang District, the price of car wash per car has also risen from the original 30 yuan to 60 yuan. The owner said: "After a small year, the doubling of the price of car wash has almost become the rule within the industry, the main reason is the personnel problem, many car washers are migrant workers, almost the New Year will go back, the cost of personnel has gone up, can the price not rise?" Now the price of beauty waxing has also risen. After the price increase in these days, the car wash does not have to queue. ”
During the visit, the reporter found that some car wash shops can still wash cars at a price of 30 yuan, but only for members. The owner of a car wash shop on Herun Street in Daoli District said: "Not raising the price of members is also to retain customers. ”
Continuous upgrading of services, each "secret contest"
In order to win more customers, car washes have also begun to "secretly compete", and various merchants have tried to get the approval of car owners by constantly improving the details of the car wash process. "Now is a time when it is better than service, whoever serves well, there are more customers." When I wash my car in winter, almost every car will use a hair dryer to dry door handles, reversing mirrors, headlights and other places that are easy to freeze and fog. Otherwise, the outdoor temperature is low in winter, and after washing the car, it will go out, and the fog on the glass will affect the line of sight. Then the car is parked outside for a while, there is water in the door and handlebar, it is easy to freeze, and it can be avoided after blowing dry. Xiao Chen said that although his car wash shop is not large, he has also reserved a 5 square meter rest space to ensure that people who come to wash the car have a place to sit.
For some large car washes, in addition to providing blow drying services after washing the car, the rest area will also prepare hot water and sweets for the owners. The owner of the car wash shop on Herun Street told reporters: "Improving the quality of service means that the operating costs increase, but it can also bring a better experience to the owners, and we also weigh it up before continuously improving." ”
