“The dispersion of prices is important taking into account the type of establishment we are talking about. There are some, that we call truchos or informal, that due to research that we carry out do not have the personnel registered, so they do not pay their social charges, and consequently they do not have that element in their cost that they can charge from $700 or maybe less in Some case”, they questioned from CALAMA.
“On the other hand, there are those that, due to their location, name, hierarchy and compliance with current regulations, can reach values close to $3,000.- for washing a normal vehicle. But most car washes have prices that range between $2,000.- and $2,500.- always talking about a normal vehicle and a common body wash. These values should grow progressively since the salary agreement of the sector contemplates an increase of approximately 10% monthly cumulatively, from now to the beginning of 2023”, they detailed.
