Winter: Your Fleet’s Number One Nightmare

Posted on by

Road SaltWith our headquarters being located in Buffalo, New York, we are more than familiar with the amount of road salt put on the roads in order to make driving less hazardous.  Unfortunately, we are also more than familiar with the amount of damage road salt can cause to vehicles.

Winter’s snow and ice storms are just around the corner, which means that your vehicle(s) will be at risk to the harmful effects of road salt.  It is important that your fleet be washed frequently in order to prevent long-term damage to the body of your vehicle(s).  It is also important to pay attention to where the run-off from your vehicle wash is going.  Road salt can be harmful to the environment and drinking water.

The solution is a Westmatic Vehicle Wash system with waste water treatment.

Water is Life – Protect it!

Posted on by

Over 300 million people in the United States rely and depend on the nation’s supply of clean water to survive.  Water pollution occurs every day, and in some cases, is inevitable.  In other instances, we can make conscious decisions to preserve our nation’s supply of clean water by taking an extra minute to think about the repercussions of our actions.  The water that we drink is supplied by rivers, streams, lakes, and ground water supply.

Contaminated groundwater is an enormous problem which is heightened by individuals and companies who choose to wash their vehicles at non-commercial vehicle washes.  Commercial vehicle washes not only use less water, but are required capture, and purify the wastewater before releasing it into storm drains.

Westmatic bus wash, truck wash, and train wash systems are the most efficient and effective systems on the market.  Our systems use HALF the amount of water, electricity, and detergent of any other traditional wash systems.  We also specialize in wastewater treatment, offering a Water Recycling System which can capture up to 85% of the water used, and our world-patented RENAREN Water Purification System, where water can reach a purification level of 99%.

Whether you are a fleet owner, transit director, transportation superintendent, maintenance manager, or an owner of a personal car; consider the lives of your 300 million+ fellow Americans and wash your vehicle the smart way– at a commercial wash.
