"It's a lot more than just soap & water when you're washing cars..."
This third generation car wash that started in 1986, located in Hales Corners, Wisconsin chose Goff's as their car wash door supplier for all of their car washes. "A big part of car washing that not a lot of people think about are doors...doors are essential to car washing, especially in this climate" says Tyler Leikam, VP of Full Service Car Wash and Wisconsin Carwash Services.
The Need.
“It’s really essential that we have robust equipment and equipment that our staff can rely on and trust in order to process our cars quickly and efficiently; that’s where Goff’s comes in.”
Full Service Car Wash (FSCW) had several key factors to consider when selecting the ideal door for their car washes. Owning a car wash in the Midwest requires proper insulation to withstand the elements. You must protect your equipment from freezing and ensure water lines remain operational in cold temperatures.
Tyler mentioned that winter is their busiest season, as cars get covered in snow, salt, and sand, people are eager to wash it all off. In general, the amount of times an individual washes their car has gone up significantly. With car washes coming out with subscriptions, like FSCW, the average American has gone from washing their car 2/year to 4-5/times a month. The amount of cycles going on the doors and equipment has dramatically increased, therefore a door that can handle that increase in volume is crucial. With all this in mind, Goff’s Wash Guard Doors was their choice.
Their Experience.
“Having something so user friendly like this makes a huge difference.”
Having the right car wash door makes all the difference, and ours checks all the boxes. There are several things Tyler mentioned loving about their door. Our user-friendly software makes operation effortless and staff happy, which to him was a huge deal. The reliability and functionality of our door is keeping his business running smoothly, and it’s rigid construction provides durability and protection.
The ability to add custom logos and graphics was a huge plus to Tyler as well. As you can see on their sharp looking door, they included their car wash logo, their service company logo and text to make their customers’ experience seamless.
“The presence sensor is one of my favorite features about the door” says Tyler. Incorporating a presence sensor on their door has given them so much flexibility, reliability, and installation was a breeze. The sensor opens the door automatically when a car pulls up to their car wash and closes it when the car enters the wash.
“Goff’s makes an excellent product.”
Tyler stated that all the features and functionalities of Goff’s door has been fantastic, but the thing that stood out the most to him was our customer service. The team was extremely pleased with the exceptional service they received, praising our responsiveness, professionalism, and willingness to go above and beyond. They felt valued and appreciated, noting how their needs were met quickly and efficiently.
Goff’s doors are already used on all of FSCW facilities, but they are looking forward to using our doors as the frontrunner when dealing with retailers!
