What Type of Car Wash Do You Operate?

Most car washes are either self-service or full-service. Self-service car washes are performed entirely by machines, with no interaction between customer vehicles and employees (e.g., the car wash at your local gas station). A self-service car wash cannot operate without fully functional machinery and equipment. And that equipment can cause damage to customer vehicles, no matter how many precautions you take.

If you operate a full-service car wash or perform some services by hand, your employees likely operate customer vehicles. Many full-service car washes offer additional services, such as oil changes, brake repairs or vehicle inspections, leaving you exposed to a variety of additional property or liability claims.

Car wash insurance needs vary depending on the type of car wash you operate and the services you provide.
