Piranha Pro-Series: Unbeatable Value

This project began with a client seeking to replace their aging and costly PDQ M5 system. While exploring replacement options, the client was focused on reducing ongoing maintenance expenses without exceeding their budget. The Piranha Pro-Series Touch-Free Automatic Car Wash proved to be the perfect solution, delivering premium performance at a fraction of the cost of some competitors.

Not only does the Piranha system provide excellent cleaning results, but its streamlined design and efficient operation make it a standout option for business owners looking to modernize without overspending.

Out with the Old, In with the New: A Necessary Upgrade

The existing PDQ M5 unit had served its time but was no longer a viable option for the client. With frequent breakdowns, escalating repair costs, and extended downtime, the system had become a liability. Recognizing the need for a modern, efficient alternative, the client chose to retire the old unit in favor of the Piranha Pro-Series.

Installation in Record Time

Removing the PDQ M5 was a straightforward process, completed in just a morning. The installation of the Piranha Pro-Series was similarly efficient, thanks to meticulous planning and the support of two expert technicians from Piranha.

Incredibly, the entire project—from dismantling the old system to commissioning the new one—was completed in just 3.5 days, with less than 150 total hours of work. This rapid turnaround ensured minimal disruption to the client’s operations while setting a new benchmark for installation efficiency.

Plantroom Coordination: Simplified and Modernized

As part of the installation, we took the opportunity to overhaul and streamline the plant room. This involved:

  • Decommissioning redundant pipework and electrical systems.
  • Installing new PVC plumbing tailored to the Piranha’s requirements.
  • Adding updated electrical circuits where necessary.
  • Replacing the outdated Blendco chemical system with a more advanced and efficient setup.
  • Introducing a brand-new Water Softener System to enhance wash quality and prolong equipment life.

Chemical Setup Modernization

The Piranha system features a revolutionary chemical setup, moving away from bulky, outdated containers to small, highly concentrated detergents and waxes. These advancements offer numerous benefits, including:

  • Superior Performance: High-quality results with minimal product waste.
  • Eco-Friendly Design: Easily crushed and disposable refill containers reduce environmental impact.
  • No-Spill Patented Transfer System: Ensures a clean and hassle-free chemical handling process.
  • Integrated Eye-Sight Monitoring: Built-in volumetric measurement systems provide real-time chemical usage data.

This modern approach simplifies operations, reduces waste, and delivers premium results with every wash.

Up and Running: Boosting Revenue and Customer Satisfaction

Thanks to the dedication of our team and careful coordination of all project elements, the new Piranha system is fully operational and already serving satisfied customers. The addition of advanced dryers and premium chemical options has enabled the client to increase wash prices by approximately 20%, boosting revenue while offering an enhanced customer experience.
