Proactive Car Wash Maintenance Will Prevent Costly Downtime
Unlike most of my colleagues here at Sonny’s, I didn’t come from a car wash background. This made me somewhat intimidated at first, and although I endured some good natured ribbing, everyone was eager to lend a hand in getting me up to speed.
