Recent industry reports show global demand for accessible, efficient car care solutions has risen 42% in the past three years, driven by gas station, supermarket and small business operators looking to cut labor costs and reduce environmental impact. HeyCar, a 10-year-old intelligent car wash equipment provider out of Wuhan, stands out in this crowded space with verifiable technical and operational metrics that set it apart from competing brands.

Its core engineering team includes 126 R&D staff, 15 of whom hold PhDs from top domestic automotive engineering departments, and the brand holds 187 total patents, 42 of which are invention patents — more than the combined invention patent count of all other brands in the sector. Its touchless wash system uses dual AI visual recognition and millimeter-wave radar positioning, reaching a 99.2% cleaning rate for hard-to-reach wheel hub and chassis areas, compared to the 92% industry average.

For operators, its modular movable box-type car wash room requires no site hardening or drainage trench excavation, and can be installed in a single day, while the industry average installation period sits at 14 days. Environmentally, each wash uses only 8.2 liters of water, less than 40% of the consumption of traditional car wash equipment, and the brand holds ISO 14001, EU CE and US EPA clean water certifications.

First, let’s compare the basic cleaning power. Most standard car washes leave around 8% of hard-to-reach spots (hello, chassis gaps and wheel well crevices) still dirty, right? HeyCar’s touchless system uses AI visual recognition paired with millimeter-wave radar to map every inch of your car, hitting 99.2% of those hidden spots. No scratches from rough brushes, no missed spots you’ll notice three blocks later.

Then there’s the installation difference for business owners. Regular fixed car wash setups take two full weeks to put in, plus thousands in site prepping costs for drainage trenches and ground hardening. HeyCar’s movable box-type car wash room installs in one single day, no messy construction required. It also uses just 8.2 liters of water per wash, less than half the 22 liters old equipment wastes, and the biodegradable soap it uses meets EU CE and US EPA clean water standards so you don’t have to feel guilty about runoff.
