CAR WASH ADD-ON

Turn Dwell Time Into Dog-Wash Revenue

While customers wait for their car, their dog gets a professional wash.
Add a PetScrub self-serve station
and convert idle wait time into a premium revenue stream β€” for no extra staff.

Why Car Washes Are the Perfect Home for PetScrub

Car-wash customers already drive in, park, and wait. That idle
dwell time β€” typically 10–20 minutes β€” is untapped revenue. Pet owners represent
40–65% of your customer base depending on location.
A PetScrub self-serve station converts their waiting time into a $20–$35 dog-wash session.

Built-In Foot Traffic

No marketing needed β€” your existing car-wash customers are already on-site with their dogs.

Monetize Dwell Time

10–20 minutes of wait time becomes $20–$35 of additional revenue per pet-owning customer.

πŸ”— Plug Into Your Existing Membership System

PetScrub fits into how you already run your business. If you offer a wash club, monthly subscription, or loyalty program, add a dog wash tier without touching your existing workflow or POS setup.

Upgrade Your Wash Club Tiers

Add a “Dog Wash Included” level to your current monthly membership β€” existing members upsell themselves, you collect the premium.

No integration required. PetScrub handles its own payment and reporting independently β€” your team manages memberships through your current POS as usual, and the dog wash station operates as a self-contained revenue layer. Connect our dashboard to track dog-wash sessions alongside your car-wash data.

  • Card & contactless payment built in β€” no POS dependency
  • Membership access codes or QR-based redemption for club members
  • Session data logged to PetScrub cloud dashboard β€” exportable

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before adding a PetScrub station.

How much space does a PetScrub station take at a car wash?

The unit is 5 ft Γ— 3 ft Γ— 6 ft β€” about the footprint of a large vending machine. It fits comfortably in a car-wash waiting area, covered side bay, or lobby.

Do I need extra staff to run the station?

No. The station is fully self-serve β€” customers use it independently. If you want a premium attended service tier, PetScrub’s optional Attends add-on lets a staff member offer a done-for-you wash at a higher price point.

What does the average car-wash customer spend on a ?

Typical self-serve sessions range $15–$25. With Attends (attended service upsell), tickets reach $35–$55. Most car wash locations see 8–25 dog-wash sessions per day.

How do I manage dog-wash customers alongside car-wash customers?

PetScrub’s cloud dashboard is separate from your car-wash POS β€” no integration needed. You manage profiles, send promotions, and view wash history from one app.

Is the station available 24 hours?

Yes. The station operates around the clock with card and contactless payment built in β€” generating revenue during early-morning and late-evening hours when your car wash may be unstaffed.

Jim AndersonJim Anderson

β€œMy dog hates baths, and PetScrub was much easier than cleaning him with a regular bath. I can quickly clean him anytime β€” like after a walk. It is super convenient, and he likes it.”

Frequently Asked Questions

How does PetScrub connect to my existing car wash POS?+
We integrate directly with your existing POS β€” whether it's DRB, Micrologic, Washify, or another major platform. Dog wash credits and add-on pricing run through your current system automatically. No new hardware required in most cases.
Will installation shut down my car wash?+
No. Installation is scheduled during off-peak hours and typically completed in 4–6 hours. Your tunnel stays open and operational the entire time. We work around your business, not the other way around.
What plumbing and utilities are required?+
A hot water line, cold water line, and a standard floor drain. Most car wash facilities already have these near existing bay infrastructure. Our team confirms everything during the site visit and handles the final hookup.
How much additional revenue can I expect per month?+
Car wash operators typically see $1,500–$4,000/month in added dog wash revenue depending on traffic volume and local dog ownership rates. We'll build a revenue estimate specific to your location on your discovery call.
Do I need staff to operate the dog wash station?+
Zero. PetScrub stations are fully self-serve. Customers handle everything themselves β€” your existing team has no new responsibilities. It's genuinely passive revenue alongside your core business.
Who handles maintenance and restocking supplies?+
PetScrub covers all service visits and equipment maintenance. Shampoo and supplies are delivered on an auto-ship schedule keyed to your wash volume β€” you'll never run out, and your team doesn't have to track inventory.
What marketing materials do I receive at launch?+
Signage, pump-topper inserts, window clings, and digital assets for social media and email are all included. We'll also help you craft an announcement to your existing loyalty members to drive early adoption.
