About Gocarwash:
Owning a car is perhaps one of the best purchases in today’s world. It’s a company that actually cares for a customer’s sweet and favourite car! We are known for our professional car care services right at customer’s doorstep. We are a Bangalore based start-up, founded in July, 2015 our Services includes the eco car wash, detailed exterior wash, intensive interior cleaning, waxing, painting denting services etc.
Two of us along with some of our friends went for a long drive in a car borrowed from our friend. It was already night by the time our adventure and enjoyment came to an end. The next morning, we needed to return the car by morning 10 am and only after a proper cleaning. We started looking for a car cleaning service provider all around, but found only a single such cleaning service provider which charged us Rs. 2700/- along with the taxes only for cleaning the car. That is a big amount! The same day, we decided to start something real great where we could help people find nice car cleaning service at a reasonable rate. So, within 15 days of discussion the idea was implemented and emerged the name Gocarwash. It first started with a single mobile unit for door to door service.

What challenges did you face during inception or at initial phase of the business? How did you overcome or take up them?
Initially we started with steam machines but it was not as effective as water wash or eco wash, Customers were not happy with the services and the time consumed was huge. We had invested a lot in the machine and it was not working out well, to save time and improve quality we installed tank in our vans and a pressure washer to give customer showroom experience at their doorstep.
