Goo-Goo Car Wash Systems is a successful convenience car wash specialist with franchises throughout the Southern US. GDT II, Ltd. was a new partnership formed between father and son businessmen to explore business and franchise opportunities in the Midwest.
Because of our established, professional relationship with the Owners, MCR Services was the only construction partner they consulted to help them analyze, troubleshoot and construct their first Goo-Goo Car Wash facility.
Challenges
A New Facility for a New Client

Change of Climate
Zoning & Regulations
Building Codes
Water Conservation & Filtration
Durability & Maintenance Issues
Growth Potential
Future Marketability

5,864 square foot custom-engineered car wash facility
Galvanized metal building clad with brick and synthetic stucco to accommodate zoning requirements and the northern climate
Sophisticated equipment, including washing and water recycling, rust-inhibiting treatment and car cleaning / vacuum stations
All operations in facility can be monitored online with real-time streaming video
