A Car Wash Attendant is responsible for a variety of tasks to ensure vehicles are thoroughly cleaned and customers are satisfied[1][3][5]. Duties generally include washing and drying vehicle exteriors using appropriate tools, vacuuming and cleaning interiors (such as seats, carpets, and windows), applying wax and protective coatings, and inspecting vehicles both before and after cleaning for quality assurance[1][3][7]. Attendants are also tasked with maintaining the cleanliness and organization of the car wash facility itself and ensuring all equipment is in proper working order[1][7].
- Greeting customers, explaining wash package options, and providing high-quality customer service[3][7][5].
- Directing vehicles into the wash area and ensuring they are correctly positioned on the conveyor when applicable[3][5][7].
- Washing, drying, vacuuming, detailing interiors and exteriors, and applying waxes or polishes as required by the selected service[1][3][7].
- Conducting visual inspections of vehicles to assess condition and identify potential issues prior to cleaning[5][7].
- Assisting customers with payment processing, including handling cash or using point-of-sale systems[5][7].
- Restocking and refilling cleaning supplies, emptying trash cans, and keeping wash bays, kiosks, and vacuum areas tidy[1][7].
- Monitoring, troubleshooting, and reporting any equipment malfunctions, safety hazards, or supply shortages to management[1][5][7].
- Conducting routine maintenance and supporting basic upkeep of car wash equipment[1][5].
- Following all safety procedures and organizational guidelines while working efficiently to meet daily service targets[1].
Car wash duties also depend on the facility—automatic or self-serve—and may involve special tasks such as pre-washing, scrubbing tires, hand-drying, and upselling additional services[3][7]. Ensuring a positive and professional experience for every customer is a central part of the role[3][5].
