Spring Worsening: Car washes have come up with new ways to ‘separate’ car owners

The following spring, Russian drivers sent en masse not only to tire shops, but also to car washes. But if consumers are already aware of most of the “separations” when replacing wheels, then not everyone knows the tricks of car wash employees. Let’s actually talk about it.

Motorized Russians have long been accustomed to the fact that car washes regularly impose all kinds of coatings a la wax and other chemical polishes. But the function of degreasing the body appeared in the “moidodirs” quite recently.

Employees of the complexes provide a similar service to those drivers whose cars are covered with a thick layer of mud stains, typical for driving in slush. In other words, almost everyone who rarely washed their “iron horse” in winter. Washing machines give a verdict that conventional chemistry simply won’t clean up such raids, so it would be helpful to go through a much more effective chemical agent. Of course against payment. Better yet, degrease the body paint, which helps remove stubborn dirt with a 100% guarantee while protecting the metal from external irritants.

It is striking that the use of extra chemicals for washing a car is not even included in the price list at a number of car washes. The “menu” only contains prices for car washes that do not entail any additional intervention. Washing means cleaning the car. Everything else is nothing more than a “divorce”. Unless, of course, you want to treat the body with gloss wax, which, as a rule, is a separate column in the list of services offered. Let’s say more: you’ll never know what your car was actually doused with or if it was doused at all. Therefore, paying money for this is the prerogative of only the gullible and wealthy.

And often car wash employees accidentally (read – on purpose) confuse the body type of the car that visited the box. In other words, you drove your car with an understanding of the cost of services, and at the end of the procedure, the price tag turns out to be higher. How is this possible? Yes, very simple.

It turns out that your sedan is much larger or has been positioned as a premium sedan by local washers. In addition, regular mid-sized sedans such as Toyota Camry and even Ford Mondeo are often referred to as “luxury”. That means you have to pay. A similar scheme is used for crossovers, some of which are called SUVs or representatives of the premium segment for some reason.

But perhaps the most daring method of making a profit is an offer to drive to the car wash and bypass the line. But if there were no demand, there would be no supply. At the same time, the washing machines explain the arrival of an extraordinary customer to the rest, waiting in the wings for car owners, by the fact that he arrived by appointment. And what: if you want to live, know how to spin.
