Labor markets are tight in the United States and many Corporations are trying to figure out how to deal with this problem. This is one reason why Corporations, which have corporate transportation and pool cars need to consider outsourcing their vehicle maintenance and fleet washing.

Pool cars need to be clean for executives to check them out and it just takes too many man-hours to run them down to the local carwash. Additionally, it costs money if they are to hire an in-house employee or have their facilities maintenance team do car washing. Usually they are slow and not very good at cleaning cars and it just makes the whole process no fun and leaves cars dirty that need to be attended too.

It is therefore much wiser to have a company come in once per week or twice per month to clean and vacuum all the cars while they are in a row. These fleet-washing companies can be in and out on an hour or two and clean 10-40 cars with a mobile car-washing unit.

Generally these companies will have 1 million dollar liability policies to work on the property and wastewater reclamation systems so they do not pollute or cause issues with the company’s NPDES storm-water run off permits Consider all this in your companies outsourcing strategy in 2006.
