Almost a month after the spring festival, many of hangzhou's “one-car community” have begun to pay attention to car wash prices, which appear to have been the default rule for hangcheng's car wash during the spring season. This seems to be a different situation this spring. During the visit, journalists found that some car washes indicated that they still chose to maintain their prices during spring holidays。
“the new year period must have increased somewhat, usually from the first two weeks.” according to mr. Peng, the manager of the maast automobile conservation club, his shop was on the north road to the establishment of the country, and there were still more car washers in the last few days, with good business。
Mr. Peng told reporters that car wash is still the original price, but that spring season will soon come, and that it is common practice in the industry to raise the price: “we have a lot of employees going home for spring, and we can't afford to raise the price.” mr. Peng also stated that the price of his car wash was based on the model of the car, that the average car was $40 and that the price would increase to around $50 during the spring festival。
Subsequently, journalists visited several car washes located on the upper wall roads, on the roads towards shibuya, and on the north central river road, all of which indicated an increase in the price of spring holidays. According to mr. Wang, the owner of one of the car washes, “it is not certain how much has gone up this year and when, although generally the increase is in the range of $10 to $20, and too many customers are reluctant to come.”
However, in addition to the increase in prices in a number of shops, a number of traders have chosen to “stagger” during the spring season, among them the baird motor service centre. According to their shopkeepers, in addition to car washing, car maintenance was a more popular service until the year before, and their shop would remain price-neutral。
Also, the original price was maintained for the “pumping car maintenance” located on yetchen road. According to mr. Zhang, the car wash service is currently at $50 and will remain unchanged during the spring festival。
Mr. Zhang, speaking of the reasons for not increasing prices, stated that “while business would indeed be better before spring, and the flow of passengers might be twice as high as it would have been in normal times, the performance of these days was far from as expected. Let's just keep the price to attract more customers."
Mr. Zhang also told journalists that, according to past experience, the 25th (4 february) to 28th (7 february) of the new year is usually the busiest time in the world, and that many people would want to wash their cars for the rest of the year, and that there was a high risk of waiting in line, and that citizens who wanted to wash their cars might want to do it wrong。
