a car wash shop near source street, the staff are washing the car.
Spring Festival approaching, the reporter interviewed found that car washing prices in the provincial capital began to rise, the price rises ranging from 5 to 10 yuan, and the price even rose to 60 yuan each time. The head of the Ji'nan auto Cosmetics Industry Association said that although the price has risen slightly, the car wash shop will be standardized after the Spring Festival because of the fierce competition and the car wash shop is not good.
car wash up price, membership card is not favorable
"it's too cold, plus the new year, the price of a single car wash must rise a little." On the 20 day, reporters visited a number of car wash shops and found that near the Spring Festival, vehicle cleaning and maintenance business began to rise, car washing prices have also risen, a single car wash up 5 to 10 yuan.
it is introduced that the car washing industry before the Spring Festival has entered the busiest period of the year. The closer to the end of the lunar calendar, the more people to wash cars, especially the "small year" of the lunar calendar, there will be a rush hour for car washing.
"we wash the car for 25 yuan per car, and it will probably increase in a few days, every year." In a car wash shop near the Yuan Yuan Street, the staff told reporters that if you run a card, 300 yuan can wash the car 24 times, before and after the Spring Festival can also be used as a commonly used card. According to this calculation, the car wash is only 12.5 yuan per time, less than half the price of a single car wash.
car owner Wang told reporters that in the car wash shop near her unit, the price of ordinary car wash is 15 yuan per time, and the membership card is only 10 yuan. Near the Spring Festival, not only does the car wash price increase to 40-60 yuan each time, but also can not use membership card to enjoy the discount.
"we wash cars here in the new year and do not raise prices, as usual." The cashier of a car wash shop on Lishan road said that washing cars before the Spring Festival will not raise prices, and still maintain 40 yuan per vehicle. However, according to the reporter's understanding, the cost of washing cars at 40 yuan per time has been much higher than usual.
tight hands, car wash shops low wages difficult to recruit
"New Year's hands are tight, workers want to raise wages, car wash fees will naturally rise." According to the owner of several car wash shops, the price of cars washed up before the Spring Festival is increased due to the shortage of hands before and after the Spring Festival. The workers hope to go home early in the new year. The 4 person's work may be only two now.
in addition to the factors of car washing workers going home, many car owners wash their cars before the Spring Festival, which aggravates the difficulty of car washing. It is more difficult to wash cars after getting together in the city after the Spring Festival. Many vehicles run long distances in the new year, and after the Spring Festival, it is difficult for the car washing workers to get all in place, and the cost of washing cars will continue to rise.
"don't look at the money before the Spring Festival. Actually, the car wash business is not as good as a year." Mr. Li, the owner of a car shop, told reporters that his current main business is car washing, also business maintenance, membrane and other business, but the business is very dismal in the two years, only to maintain the basic operation.
for this, Wang Xu, Secretary General of Ji'nan automotive supplies and beauty industry association, told reporters that the price of car washing will rise every year, and this year is still stable. Because of the sluggish business, there are not many car wash shops that increase prices too much.
in addition, the former a car worker a monthly salary of about 1500 yuan, now less than 2000 yuan can not get people, and the cost of rent increases year by year, car washing shop vicious competition, car washing business is not good to do.
there are rules to follow. It is necessary to use 8 towels
to clean a car. "The threshold of car washing business is low and competition is fierce, leading to the overall development of the industry is not standardized." The industry said that from the larger brand chain car wash shop to a small shop with a bucket, car washing services varied, and the charges varied greatly.
at the same time, the car wash also has ordinary washing, fine washing, automatic car washing, water dry cleaning and sauna, and so on. A wide variety of car washing methods also make it difficult to have a unified standard. The owner of the car has a lot of disputes over the price rise of the new year and the service standard of the car washing.
"we are perfecting the relevant norms, and we will strive to announce it to the public after the year." Wang Xu told reporters that at present there are more than 1 million 200 thousand cars in Ji'nan, and there are nearly 500 car washing shops in the city. Many small car washing shops and black workshops may exceed the regular car washing shops, and there are many disputes.
in view of this problem, the Ji'nan automotive supplies Association drafted the "professional car wash service standard", which is now being submitted to the relevant departments for review, and will be officially announced after the Spring Festival.
Wang Xu said that the car washing service should have a detailed specification. The tools used in the process of washing the car, the washing process, and the storage of the owner related articles should be clearly defined. Even scrubbing a car requires more than 8 towels to be specified, so that car washing can be followed.
