CHAPTER I
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
I. The business
For many years people have tried to start their own successful
businesses. Nowadays business industry is giving a chance to the people
to start their own business. Car wash businesses have begun to compete

directly with some of the larger full-service and self-service car wash
establishments.
Moreover, in running business like automobile car wash we should
know the best way in washing a car. Besides that, the professional car
care services require a variety of tools and supplies, proper training, as
well as some hands-on experience.
a. Description of business
If you own a car, sometimes you find it get dirty and you take it to
the car wash. Of course you have to be selective in choosing the best
place to wash your car, because not all of the car wash can give you the
best service to fulfill your own desire.
In addition I will introduce you my company named Wax on Wax out
Automobile Car Wash or WOWO Automobile Car Wash. WOWO
Automobile Car Wash is a proprietorship business. With the permit that
WOWO Automobile Car Wash has made before, it will feature a service
that looks very extraordinary. What kind of service that WOWO Automobile

Car Wash will give to you? Those services are aromatic shampoo in your
cars, shining tires, and shining exterior, fragrance on the interior of the
cars, comfortable waiting room, and a compliment for you.
WOWO Automobile Car Wash is a new independent business that
means this business has not been operated before and it will be the
premier for WOWO Automobile Car Wash to serve the people around the
Cikutra area. This business is gainful enough because this business is
prominent in giving services that will make the customer feel satisfied.
Nevertheless, washing a car does not merely get a sponge out with
some water, flooding the car with soap and water, and being continued
with rinsing and wiping it dry with a towel. Moreover, professional car wash
services require a variety of tools and supplies, proper training, as well as
some hands-on experience in giving the best service to the customer. In
this case, with your money invest it will make this business will run
effectively in November 10, 2008.

b. The service
In this part I will try to describe more about WOWO Automobile Car
Wash. The benefit of my service is an extraordinary service that is different
from the other car washes service, such as wash the customer’s cars by

using an aromatic car shampoo, build a comfortable place for the waiting
room, and give a bottle of soft drink as a compliment for the customer
when he has his car washed at WOWO Automobile Car Wash.
WOWO Automobile Car Wash will provide about the service. In this
case, if I want to reach the loyal customer to come to my car wash I have
to give them good services. Based on my own experience, all of the car

wash in Bandung does not give a good service. They only give the service
to the customers’ cars but they do not care about the owner of the cars.
This is the important thing that I want to give to the customer. The best car
wash does not only give a good service to the car, but it should give a
good service too to the owner of the cars as well. At WOWO Automobile
Car Wash, all of the customers will be served in a good way.
In doing this strategy I believe it will make all the people around the
Cikutra choose WOWO Automobile Car Wash as the exact place to wash
their cars. Moreover, by operating this car wash in six months I feel

optimistic that I will achieve twenty percent (20%) of loyal customers.

c. The location
WOWO Automobile Car Wash is located at Cikutra area,
specifically Cikutra Street number 231. In this case, I choose this site
because there are many people live in Cikutra who have car, and they
need a good service to have their car washed when they are dirty.
Moreover, this location is accessible because it is located in a main street
of Cikutra. Below is the nearest location of my opportunities customers.
