I am writing a proposal of how AutoBell Car Wash can improve new ways to strengthen its business practices for the external customer experience and for the overall work environment. As you may know, AutoBell is the second largest regional full service, conveyorized car wash company that currently has over 75 current locations in Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia.

This tiny idea might help employees, management, and customers more if they include this idea on the daily operations of
