Symptoms we see every week
- Revenue flat while truck traffic on your corridor grows

- Cycle times slower than the equipment’s rated throughput
- Few or no fleet contracts — all walk-in dependent
- Invisible on Google next to Blue Beacon and local competitors
- Equipment downtime eating weekends
Scope
What the audit covers
| Area | What we measure |
|---|---|
| Revenue & pricing | Ticket mix, price vs. market, membership/contract structure |

| Chemistry | Cost per wash, dilution and dosing accuracy, chemistry-to-soil match |
| Labor | Staffing model vs. volume, training gaps |
| Equipment | Condition, maintenance history, downtime cost |
| Digital presence | Local SEO rankings, reviews, app/loyalty, competitor visibility |
| Fleet pipeline | Contract coverage of nearby depots and distribution centers |
Process

Proof
Before / after: Exit 87 Truck Wash
The audit found what audits usually find: dosing running rich, pricing below the market, and throughput trailing the equipment’s rated capacity. Recalibration, a price restructure, and a fleet outreach plan turned the numbers around within one quarter.
