jim lind drives up profits with ryko growth comes from making service ...

“O�ering four di�erent washes means higher pro�ts for us and a better car
wash for our customers,” Lind says. “With this car wash we have we have a full
drawer of kitchen tools to draw from.”
Every vehicle that is serviced at the station, whether it’s with an oil change or
new tires, gets a complimentary wash. Gas customers receive 10 cents a
gallon o� when they purchase a car wash.
THE RYKO ADVANTAGE
Jim Lind has been more than happy with the variety of Ryko equipment he
has had at his service station over the last 30 years. His current system, a
SoftGloss MAXX, washes about 3,000 vehicles a month. Most of his customers
are locals and they keep coming back for repeat washes.
“With the SoftGloss MAXX, we are actually polishing the vehicles. In my mind,
we are not just washing cars anymore; we are polishing them. They are just
brilliant when they roll out, and people are loving it,” he says.
Lind says he has stuck with Ryko because the Ryko equipment he uses
produces a quick, quality wash, and for time-conscious, yet quality-seeking
customers, that makes them happy. “Ryko has fantastic equipment and a
stellar customer service team that is on the top of the list,” he says.
“Our Ryko customer service and relationships are so critical to making sure
this location is always accessible for my customers who’ve come to count on
me when they need their cars washed,” Lind adds. “When all things fall into
place, and the customers are pleased, we can all look each other in the eye
and say thank you and good job.”
