The phenomenon of car washing is prominent and the car washing industry needs to be standardized.

Street car wash, wash the vehicle, dirty road, and even cause pavement damage. Pedestrians passing by the front of the car wash shop often encounter the phenomenon of splashing sewage on one foot. Recently, after receiving a number of complaints, our reporter conducted an investigation into the car wash shops in Sanzhen and found that the phenomenon of road occupation in the car wash industry in Jiangcheng is prominent and needs to be regulated urgently.

Road car washes can be seen everywhere

Reporters counted less than 20% of those with business licenses.

In the past few days, reporters have found that car washes can always be found in the streets and alleys. Some places even cluster operation. According to industry insiders, there are now more than 4000 large and small car wash shops in the central city of Wuhan. With the continuous increase of motor vehicles, car wash shops have blossomed everywhere.

In the waist embankment section of Hanyang Avenue, there are six or seven car washes on the nearly 400-meter-long street, only one of which has a separate indoor car wash. In the Daikou section of Zhongshan Road in Wuchang, there are 14 car wash shops, large and small, on the street less than 200 meters long, none of which have a car wash room. In the area of Cha Road in Hankou, dozens of car washes simply put "pavement" on the sidewalk or even the motorway.

The reporter did a little statistics and found that only 20% of the car wash shops on the street had business licenses, while the others were mostly operating without licenses.

Most of the street car wash shops are in very poor conditions, with a water pipe, a few bottles of detergent, a few pieces of rags, and the space outside the shop seems to be infinitely extended? That is, the sidewalk in front of the shop, which can be occupied by vehicles waiting to be washed and washing at peak hours.

The vast majority of car wash shops are less than 20 square meters. After the car wash supplies are placed inside, they cannot accommodate a car at all; some car wash shops do not even have a signboard, but simply place a piece of writing "car wash" on the street. board.

But these car washes are doing well. On the morning of the 7th, the reporter stood at a car wash shop on Cha Road in Hankou for 30 minutes. On average, one car was cleaned every 10 minutes. The shopkeeper told the reporter that it rained for several days some time ago, and as soon as it cleared up, there were more people to wash the car.

Low price to meet the market demand

Small business once the injured car claims difficult

In an interview with reporters on the waist embankment in Hanyang, a car owner said that it is mainly convenient to wash the car at the car wash shop on the street. There are many such shops. Once the car is stopped, someone will naturally wash the car, and the price is cheap. In most places, it is only 10 yuan's money is more cost-effective.

Reporters pay attention to observation, the owner is driving a Jetta. After the car was parked, someone immediately poured water on the car with a washbasin, then sprinkled washing powder, scrubbed with a rag, washed with a high-pressure water gun, and finally dried with a rag. In less than 10 minutes, a car was washed.

Not far from here is a car wash with a car wash. The workers who are working in the store told reporters that most of the car washes nearby do not have business licenses. Some of the shopkeepers are from the countryside, some are laid-off, and most of them are small businesses. Most of the people working in the store are relatives of their families. The biggest monthly expense is rent. "The regular car wash should use special towels or sponges, at least two to three pieces for each car wash, and the car wash liquid should also be special. Don't underestimate the car wash, it's not easy!" The worker said, "Some car owners try to wash their cars there cheaply, but they don't know that these shops only use washing powder and rags to wash their cars, which is easy to damage the car paint. There are often car owners who wrangle, but those shops can't afford to pay for it."

How many street car washes are disturbing to the people

Public Complaints: Sewage Noise from Road Occupying

The cleaned car was lined up on the sidewalk, and the high-pressure water gun was "rough" spraying water; the muddy water washed from the car flowed to the roadside ditch, raising the bottom of the ditch, and the car wash sewage was difficult to quickly pour into the sewer, but overflowed onto the motorway... "These dirty water are flying on the faces of pedestrians, too unsanitary. It's really annoying!" A middle-aged woman who had just passed by complained as she ran. This is the reporter on the morning of March 6 in Wuchang dike mouth to see the scene.

The reporter visited and found that almost all car washes make full use of the sidewalks, regardless of whether there is a business license or an independent indoor car wash, and the car wash is almost the "hidden rule" of the car wash industry ".

On Qinyuan Road in Wuchang, several cars were parked on the sidewalk in front of a car club. Workers were waxing the vehicles and scrubbing the internal facilities. In the washing workshop next to it, a high-pressure water gun is washing a car. Due to the high terrain of the store, the sewage from the car wash flows to the sidewalk in front of the store. The club's Mr. You (pseudonym) told reporters that under normal circumstances, they wash cars in the store. "As operators, we don't want to wash outside. However, the shop is so big that sometimes there are too many cars and the drivers don't want to wait in line, so we have to wash outside." He said.
