Frequently Asked Questions

How do tunnel car wash systems work?2026-04-10T12:22:28-06:00

With a conveyor tunnel car wash system, the vehicle drives onto a conveyor belt that transports it through a series of washing and drying stages within the tunnel.

How to choose the right car wash system for my business?2026-04-01T16:13:05-06:00

The ideal car wash system for your business will depend on several factors, such as the location, the size of your lot, and how much up-front investment you can make. Tunnel car wash systems, for example, typically require a larger lot size and higher equipment costs compared to other car wash systems, but they also offer higher vehicle throughput and premium wash options, which offer more long-term ROI for high-traffic locations. At NoviClean, we can advise you on the right wash equipment for your situation.

What is the the throughput of a tunnel car wash system?2026-04-01T16:10:05-06:00

A typical tunnel car wash system can wash between 100 and 200 cars per hour. The throughput of a tunnel car wash will vary based on the length of the tunnel, the equipment configuration, and balancing wash results with wash speed. Smaller, retrofit tunnel wash systems will have a lower throughput than larger systems.
