The wash that never
closes
Self-service sites built on our own equipment — no staff on the forecourt, no queue for the customer, and revenue every hour of the year. Four proven formats, from a two-bay plot to a six-bay destination site.
A car wash that
runs itself
FBS Tech Group builds and franchises self-service wash sites across the UK. The driver controls the wash; the equipment does the work; the operator watches the numbers from a phone.
Every site ships as one package — FBS machinery with German and Italian components, the full FBS identity in signage and LED, the chemical supply, the payment and monitoring platform, and the training to open.

Four formats. One system.
The equipment, the brand and the operating model are identical across the range. What changes is the plot you have, the traffic it sees, and the capital you want to commit.

What the driver does
Four steps, no attendant, and nothing to learn. The simplicity is why the sites keep their throughput at peak times.
- 01
Drive in
Any free bay, any hour. No booking, no attendant, no queue behind a tunnel.
- 02
Choose the programme
Foam, pressure, wax, spot-free rinse. Pay by card or through the app.
- 03
Wash it your way
High-pressure lance, foam brush and rinse — under the driver’s own control.
- 04
Finish and go
Vacuum stations and air line on the way out. Total stop: under fifteen minutes.
More than a row of bays
The larger formats carry vacuum islands, tyre inflation, a drying and detail area, a coffee shop and a terrace. Dwell time goes up, and so does the spend per visit.

Built by people who make the machines
FBS supplies the equipment as well as the franchise. The pumps, the columns, the chemistry and the software come from one source — which is why a fault is a phone call rather than an investigation.
Our units are assembled from German and Italian components and ship with a two-year warranty. Critical spares are held in the UK, and every site is covered by 24/7 technical support.
We manufacture the cleaning chemistry ourselves, formulated for self-service valeting, and supply it to the network at franchise pricing.
