Autosmart has launched a new service designed to remove the hassle of managing the valeting bay and claims the scheme offers a one-stop solution to all valeting needs.

The Essence Wash Bay Therapy combines washing machines, cleaning chemicals and a national aftersales and support service and the system has been developed to deliver significant savings in terms of time, resource and budget, operating through a fixed, all inclusive monthly fee system.

Through the company's distributor network, dealerships receive a full analysis of their business needs, including help with environmental legislation compliance and health and safety legislation.

Strict stock control and effective training of staff means that dealers can establish a 'cost per wash' level to help them keep a tight control on budgets.
