Volvo Cars Brisbane North Boosts Wash Bay Output with 60% Faster Cleaning

Volvo Cars Brisbane North, part of a national dealership group, was facing mounting delays in its wash bay.

The Problem

Every vehicle is washed after servicing or before delivery, but an unreliable pressure cleaner and lack of support left staff reverting to sponge-and-bucket washing.

The impact of this  was stressed detailers, frustrated service teams and a serious bottleneck that was slowing the entire operation.

The Results

The transformation was immediate and significant:

• 60% reduction in wash time per vehicle—from 15 minutes down to just 6
• 40 vehicles washed daily, with zero downtime
• Wash bay bottleneck completely resolved, keeping the service team on schedule
• Reduced stress and physical workload for detailers, improving consistency and morale
