CENTERVILLE, Minn. – Dan Yarusso, president of WashCard Systems, today announced upgrades to the company’s mobile car wash app named UWashApp. The app helps car wash owners attract new customers, produce more revenue, and operate more efficiently.
“The UWashApp can activate self-serve washes, in-bay automatic washes, pet washes, vacuums and fragrance, and vending,” said Yarusso. “So UWashApp makes it very convenient for the car wash customer to purchase not just the wash, but all additional services.”
“I can understand why consumers like the app,” said Yarusso. “Fifteen years ago, when consumers were transitioning between cash and card-based payments, the younger demographic immediately made the change based on convenience—no more bank runs to get cash, only to break bills further into a pocket full of quarters. They said, ‘A pocket full of quarters is dumb!’ Those were the new faces you wanted/needed to see at your business. Today’s new faces all use their mobile devices for everything and say, ‘A pocket full of cards is dumb!’”
“Since UWashApp was released, we have received a lot of positive feedback from operators, including suggestions for enhancements, which we have incorporated into V2 of the app,” said Yarusso. “Our plan is to incorporate operator suggestions for enhancements on a regular basis. Be assured, the evolution of payments and loyalty will continue on!”
Some of the enhancements of UWashApp V2 include the following:
UWashApp continues to offer the following benefits to operators:
The UWashApp onboarding program includes hardware devices for all services at a site, an onboarding setup call, access to priority support during installation, access to the UWashApp management portal, and resources and training options to help maximize wash packages, loyalty pipelines, and in-app advertising.
“No matter what the operator’s equipment mix is, UWashApp will work with just about any equipment on the market with a straightforward setup,” said Yarusso.
