Unlock More Revenue with Smarter Car Wash Payments

• The car wash industry is rapidly shifting to cashless, with 72% of transactions projected to be contactless by 2028.
• Modern unattended payment terminals support every bay format — from self-serve to in-bay automatics — without replacing existing equipment.
• MONEXgroup gives car wash operators full control over pricing, performance, and support from a single platform.

The car wash industry has evolved significantly from coin-operated systems to advanced, unattended payment environments built for speed, convenience, and scale. Today, it represents a major growth opportunity driven by changing consumer expectations.

North America alone sees over 2 billion car washes annually, with more than 70% of drivers now choosing professional facilities over handwashing. The U.S. market is projected to reach $27.89 billion by 2033, signalling strong momentum for operators adopting modern, cashless technologies.

The Shift Toward Modern Payments

Payment behaviour in car wash environments is aligning with broader consumer trends. Cash is being replaced by faster, frictionless options that improve throughput and customer experience.

The acceleration toward contactless has been substantial, with projections indicating that 72% of transactions will be contactless by 2028. The minimum standard operators expect their payment solutions to support:

• Credit and debit cards
• Contactless and NFC payments
• Mobile wallets and app-based payments
• QR code payments

This shift is not only transactional but behavioural. Customers expect speed, simplicity, and flexibility at every touchpoint.

Solutions Built for Every Car Wash Format

Modern car wash operations require payment technology that adapts to different site configurations, from self-serve bays to in-bay automatics and tunnel systems. Robust unattended solutions now provide more than cashless payments:

• High-visibility displays for service selection
• Durable, weather-resistant hardware
• Seamless integration with existing equipment
• Remote management for monitoring and updates

For legacy self-serve sites, retrofit solutions enable operators to upgrade existing coin-based infrastructure without replacing the entire equipment, extending asset life and enabling contactless payments.
