Superior Wash Franchise Information
Superior Wash is a franchise for a business providing onsite mobile fleet washing.
It was founded in 1989 and started franchising in 2005. When the federal government implemented the Clean Water Act of 1990, they used water recovery methods from storm drains or rivers. They collect the water and transport it to recycling.
Through the success of the business, they started franchising and having all their locations now, they clean about 47 thousand vehicles every week. Their mission is to become the dominant force in the industry on an international and national coverage with strategic partnerships. They say that their franchise partners have the commitment on their work ethic and to provide their customers satisfaction from their service. They now have 36 locations in the United States, one location in Canada, and one location that is owned and operated by the company.
What are the services provided by Superior Wash?
When they provide Superior Wash Services they have a quality control manager that keeps watch of each crew member. The crew are trained extensively that puts them to the test. They also have staffs that are dedicated to provide customer service, safety, operations, quality control, and environmental maintenance. The water that they use are collected by their mobile units and they are either recycled or discharged at their facilities. The usual types of vehicles that they wash includes all types of vans, bob-tails, garbage trucks, gas trucks, cement trucks, trailer boxes, two axle tractors, flatbed trucks, three axle tractors, delivery trucks, company vehicles, and pick-ups.
Their fleet washing produces large quantities of waste water which contains detergents, emulsified oils, suspended solids, heavy metals, and other contaminants. They recycle this water through treatments using oil and water separator or OWS before they dispose it. Some contaminants are not removed through this process. Those types are brought to a facility which is called a closed-loop washing wastewater recycling system. Another service that they provide is the Spill Clean-Up services. They clean spills from gas, oil, paint, garbage, and other fluids.
