This is how AutoMate started. Long before we were building washes for ~50 dealerships across the Southwest, we were running this program — and we never abandoned it. It's just that some dealers prefer the simplicity of a straight lease program. But for stores that want a profit center built into the wash bay, the AutoMate Program has always been — and is still — an option.
Here's how it works: your F&I desk sells an AutoMate paint protection warranty with every vehicle — a real, registered warranty backed by AstroGlaze paint sealant, applied right at your store by our fully automatic Soft Touch Polisher. In exchange, we deliver, install, and maintain your entire wash and polish operation — the polisher, our AutoMate drive-thru wash system, RO spot-free rinse, and a 45 HP blower package — at no additional cost to the dealership. All preventive maintenance, all emergency repairs, all parts and labor, even the soap. Your store earns warranty revenue on every delivery; your customers come back twice a year for free reapplications; your service drive gets the visit.
Fully automatic polishing machine that applies AstroGlaze paint sealant — a perfectly polished vehicle in 5–10 minutes. Boosts service volume, new and pre-owned sales, and CSI.
The drive-thru wash system we manufacture ourselves — the machine behind 65,000+ washes a month across the network. Soft-touch mitter and side-wash design, a clean car in under 2 minutes, soap included.
Continuous reverse-osmosis water at 3,000 GPD with 1,000 gallons of storage — no water spots, no towel-drying labor, no water softener needed.
Three 15 HP motors generating 190+ mph of air on a stainless frame — cars come out dry and delivery-ready.
Every preventive visit, every emergency repair, every part, all labor — included. The same AutoMate service program behind ~50 dealership washes across the Southwest.
AstroGlaze sealant and interior protection products, promotional materials, customized reapplication notices, free advertising inserts, window decals, and ongoing training and support.
Your F&I office offers the AutoMate paint protection warranty on every new and pre-owned delivery — a 3-year paint warranty, upgradeable to 5 years and interior protection. You set the retail price; it's your product and your profit.
The Soft Touch Polisher applies AstroGlaze paint sealant in 5–10 minutes, no detail-bay labor required. It seals the factory finish against fading, oxidizing, and loss of gloss, and it's warranted in writing.
Every warranty includes free reapplication every 6 months. We print customized reapplication notices with your store's branding — and your service coupons ride along free. That's every warranty customer standing in your service drive twice a year, on schedule.
The polisher, the wash, the RO, the blowers — maintained on our 80/20 preventive program, with parts stocked in Scottsdale and no invoice for parts, labor, or soap. Ever.
The warranty is your store's F&I product at the retail price you set, and the program cost per warranty is a fraction of it — the rest is gross profit on every delivery. Then the retention math kicks in: reapplication visits put every warranty customer in your service drive twice a year, and the appointments, coupons, and CSI touchpoints are all yours. Fifteen minutes with your delivery volume and David will model the exact numbers for your store.
Customers get a registered 3-year paint warranty (upgradeable to 5 years with interior protection), the initial AstroGlaze application at delivery, and a free reapplication every 6 months. A vehicle protected by AstroGlaze never needs waxing — just regular washing — and the finish stays showroom-glossy, which protects their resale value and your brand.
Plenty of companies will sell your F&I office a chemical and a certificate. Nobody else builds the polisher, builds the wash, installs the RO and blowers, stocks the parts, does the maintenance, and shows up for the emergency call — as one family-owned company that's served dealerships for nearly 50 years. When the whole chain is ours, the program actually gets delivered: machines run, reapplications happen, customers come back, and your store keeps the profit.
Fifteen minutes with your delivery volume is enough to sketch the economics. Call or text our General Manager directly — David Dickerson · 602-757-3998 · david@automatepaintprotection.com — or office 480-860-0491. Prefer a form? Request a quote here and mention "The AutoMate Program."
