Free Wash / Rewash

You can give a free wash for a dissatisfied customer. 

Common Practices:

  • A Free Wash can be given but in most situations, it will be for a different day.
  • A Rewash can be used in a situation where a customer is unhappy with their wash, the car wash is going to do a rewash, and send them back through the tunnel right away.  
  • Customer may demand a Refund because he is so disappointed, and you can Void the transaction.

The following instructions are for a customer who has paid for and received the wash but was dissatisfied with the wash, and management would like customer to receive a FREE WASH or provide a REWASH.
