Car wash equipment, spec'd and distributed by operators

We're an authorized distributor for OPW/Belanger tunnel systems, Trident chemistry, ICS point of sale and controls, and Eurovac vacuum systems. We chose OPW/Belanger, Trident and ICS because we've operated on them, and we'll tell you when something else fits better.

How we choose equipment
A vehicle passing through tunnel wash equipment.

What you get

  • OPW/Belanger: tunnel systems. Full tunnel packages, soft cloth and foam wraps, dryers, contour arms, side blasters, replacement components.
  • Trident: chemistry. Polymer-forward formulations with tight dilution control. Cost per car typically $0.65 to $0.95 blended.
  • ICS: point of sale and controls. Membership management depth, mature API, reliable point-of-sale and controls hardware, operational reporting.
  • Eurovac: vacuum systems.

We earn distribution margin on OPW/Belanger, Trident, ICS, and Eurovac. We chose OPW/Belanger, Trident and ICS based on 18 years of operating with them across multiple portfolios, not because we sell them. If your situation calls for a different brand, we'll tell you. Our long-term value to you depends on you trusting our spec recommendations more than our distribution margin.

How we do it

  1. Equipment audit (existing operations)

    We assess your current package against your throughput, wash quality, and uptime needs. We tell you where to upgrade, where to maintain, and where to leave alone.

  2. New site equipment spec

    Built into our development engagements or available as a stand-alone project. We spec the package, manage procurement, and coordinate install with the GC.

  3. Replacement parts and consumables

    Quoted and shipped from regional stock for OPW/Belanger, Trident and ICS. Send the part number or a photo of the component and we quote the same business day.

  4. Service network coordination

    We're not a service company, but we maintain relationships with regional service techs across our distributed brands. We can connect you with someone within 24 hours in most Southeast markets.

Questions

Why these brands?

Operational fit, parts availability, and service network. The full reasoning is in our equipment selection article. Short version: we spec what we'd run ourselves.

Will you spec a competing brand if it's a better fit?

Yes. If your market has stronger Sonny's service coverage than OPW/Belanger service coverage, that's a legitimate reason to spec Sonny's. Service network beats brand preference.

Do you handle install and commissioning?

We coordinate it. Installation is performed by a professional car wash installation team, with electricians and plumbers making the electrical and plumbing connections; commissioning includes calibration and crew training. We project-manage from purchase order to wash quality sign-off.

What's the lead time on a full tunnel package?

12 to 18 weeks from PO to delivery for OPW/Belanger in standard configurations (estimate, confirm with the manufacturer). Custom configurations and high-demand periods can extend lead time. We tell you the real number, not the best-case number. Installation and commissioning then take 4 to 8 weeks once the equipment is delivered and the building and utilities are ready (actual, typical of our team's projects).

Do you offer wholesale pricing for dealers or multi-site operators?

Yes. Multi-site operators and certified dealers qualify for wholesale pricing after a short application. Use the contact form with the topic Equipment and tell us your site count.
