CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

Commuting can be stressful due to traffic jam experiences.

Hassle in commuting from morning to evening is one of the

challenges most of the Filipinos are facing daily.

However, owning a personal vehicle is equal to convenience.

People are acquiring a car mostly to reduce or at least eliminate

stress from commuting especially during the rush-hour traffic.

Further, owning one comes alongside a responsibility of

maintaining its cleanliness and good condition. It deals that

every owner must be able to do it regularly. Even so, given the

busy day-to-day activities of most of the Filipino motorist, it’s

really a challenge to compromise much time and effort to clean

their own vehicle. The majority of people still prefer a car wash

for a good reason.

Self-service car washing is still vibrant and profitable.

Self-service is geared toward the individual who values variety

and accessibility. Not everyone operates on a set schedule like

businesses and corporations. Sometimes a person wants to clean

one area of the car and not the other. That is what sets the

self-service car wash apart from the commercial. The self service

is a bit more personal, considering it is often the vehicle owner

who cleans his or her car. On top of that, the self-service car

wash allows the washer to wash their car on their own time. They

can also decide what products and methods to use when cleaning

their car. This can cut down costs, or increase them, all

depending on how they clean their car. If you are very particular

about how your car is cleaned, then this is the best method for

you. The only downside to this method is that is not nearly as

efficient, but that should not be a problem for some people. Just

be willing to get your hands a little dirty while cleaning your

car.

Nevertheless, car wash businesses are becoming a trend. It

exists in almost every corner of the street. The proponent

propose a car wash business, but it is not like a normal car wash

business that we know, the proponent wants a self-service car

wash business and they propose a Car Wash Vendo Machine for the

self-service car wash business . The customer needs to provide a

5 peso coins to clean their car for every 2 minutes.

The researchers thought why not make this proposal to have

this kind of business? The Casiguranin are well-known for being

competitive in terms of business. The aim of the researchers is

to have this kind of business here in Casiguran because we do not

have a problem for the water and the drainage canals for the

water waste that we use for self-service vendo car wash.

Casiguran is not crowded, there are some area that we can build

our business has a free flowing. Although there are already a lot

of car wash business here in Casiguran, but the proponents still

want to push the business to prove how competitive this proposed

business.

History of the Subject

The first car wash business was opened in Detroit in 1914,

and was called the “Automated Laundry”. This wash, cars were

pushed manually through a tunnel, within which workers soaped,

rinsed, and dried the vehicle being cleaned. Each worker had a

specific task, which gave the wash an assembly-line feel.

In 1940, the first “automated” conveyor-style car wash was

opened in Hollywood, California. This new style of wash was

“automated” in that a winch system was used to pull the car being

washed through the cleaning tunnel. Workers were still present in

the tunnel to soap, rinse, and dry the car.
