On-Demand Car Wash Apps

This App Brings Custom Car Wash Services to Users' Homes

— September 8, 2015 — Autos
With the Washos app, Los Angeles residents can have a custom car wash delivered to them on-demand.

Upon logging into the app, users can request an on-demand custom car wash to be delivered to wherever they are -- their home, office or the restaurant they're parked outside of. They can select from three tiers of custom car wash: the Lavish car wash, the Reveal Auto Detailing, which includes hand-applied wax, or the Outright Auto Detailing, which features a shampoo and clay treatment (like a spa for your car.) The car wash is fully customizable, with a large variety of add-on services to choose from.

Professional detailers bring their own eco-friendly supplies to deliver the custom car wash. Users pay afterwards for the wash through the Washos app, and can request a free redo if they're not satisfied.
Trend Themes
1. On-demand Car Wash Services - Opportunity for on-demand car wash apps to disrupt the traditional car wash industry by offering customized, convenient services delivered to users' locations.
2. Customizable Car Wash Packages - Disruptive innovation opportunity for car wash apps to offer customizable packages with add-on services, appealing to users who want personalized car care.
3. Mobile Car Wash Professionals - The rise of on-demand car wash apps creates opportunities for professional detailers to offer their services directly to customers, eliminating the need for a physical location.
Industry Implications
1. Mobile App Industry - The on-demand car wash app industry has the potential to disrupt the mobile app industry by offering unique, location-based services.
2. Car Wash Industry - Traditional car wash businesses should adapt to the on-demand trend, offering customized packages and convenient services to compete with app-based car wash services.
3. Automotive Detailing Industry - The on-demand car wash app trend presents an opportunity for the automotive detailing industry to expand their customer base and provide specialized services directly to users' locations.
