Self business features the fact that customers make what they want, create value-added and achieve economical efficiency. ‘Self car-wash’ and ‘Self gasoline station’ provide customers with the joy of light working and money-saving. Introduced to the U.S. in 1950s and Japan in 1976, the concept of self business was introduced to Korea in 1988.

   Self car-wash is the system that drivers can complete the 4 steps of car-washing in a single car-washing bay by themselves from preliminary washing & brushing to rising & wax-coating. It is a very convenient car-washing system because drivers can select one or more than one steps according to the condition of a car. Thanks to its merits, it has been expanded continuously since it began in the U.S. about 40 years ago. Featuring excellent washing performance while protecting a car better than automatic car-washer and causing no damages to painting, self car-washes in Korea have been attracting more and more drivers who prefer such convenience and merits. The bright future prospect of self car-wash business lies in various factors such as relatively small capital investment, low operational costs resulting from the minimization of labor cost thanks to its unmanned system, 24 hours per day/ 365 days per year operation and high value-added & additional profits which can be created from the businesses incidental to it such as car-washing service, car washing & delivery service, car accessory sales, vacuum cleaner, mat cleaner and beverage vending machines. The fact that it does not require the burden of employee management is a merit in addition to economic profits for the managements of this business whether they have the experience in proprietorship or not. Therefore, self car-wash has a great business potential once its location such as gasoline station is procured.
