ProntoWash Franchise Information

ProntoWash is a brand new concept in ecological based car washing and detailing. A mobile vehicle washing system that operates at parking lots and delivers the service in the exact location the cars are parked.

ProntoWash has innovated the traditional car washing business with an environmentally friendly and convenient mobile car wash and detail service.

The simple and powerful concept behind ProntoWash is to take advantage of idle parking time and providing added value services while people conduct other more important activities (at Shopping Malls, Entertainment facilities and the workplace). The result of all this is a new business experience, 100% oriented to providing customer convenience.

The customer value proposition of ProntoWash is evidenced by our rapid growth in various markets. Since its launch in 2001, ProntoWash has established its brand and operations in Argentina, Brasil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Honduras, Spain, United States, Guatemala, México, Panamá, Perú, Portugal, Puerto Rico and Venezuela.

At present, the company washes over 200,000 cars per month thru more than 225 franchises across the abovementioned countries with nearly 2,200 WashingKarts in operation. Revenue for the international network exceeds u$s 12 million annually.

Some of our strategic partners worldwide include: Carrefour-Promodès (France), Wal-Mart (USA), Ahold (Holland), Casino (France), Simon Properties (USA) and Gigante (México) among others.

ENVIRONMENTAL CARE

While a traditional car wash operation demands an average of 225 litters of water per vehicle, the ProntoWash system uses an average of only 5 litters, significantly reducing consumption compared to standard washes in the industry. Considering the United States alone with a car washing market of approximately 400 million services per month, the ProntoWash system would have generated a savings in consumption of over 88 billion litters of water.

In a world dealing with the continued scarcity of water resources, the ProntoWash system is the only viable ecological solution.
