What a magical property this is!
For car-owning residents, this news could only be described as a godsend!
Going to an external car wash costs money and might involve long queues, making it both troublesome and expensive.
But washing their cars in their own Residential Complex's underground parking garage is not only free, but even if they need to queue, they can just pick a less busy time.
After all, it's just a matter of taking the elevator downstairs!
Is the Property Management too considerate?
Setting up such a system must cost around 100,000 yuan!
Plus the water and electricity, it could easily be another 100,000 yuan a year!
Are they really just spending this money to let residents enjoy it?
What is the Property Management Company gaining from this?
This kind of service is a groundbreaking feat, completely outside the scope of the Property Management service contract.
Not to mention residents wouldn't say anything; even if the Property Management didn't do it, residents themselves wouldn't even think they could enjoy such a benefit.
It's truly outrageous!
Immediately, car owners came downstairs to try it out.
Xu Ning had specifically arranged for a maintenance worker to be there.
On one hand, the maintenance worker had been trained by the manufacturer and could teach residents how to operate it initially; on the other hand, he could also provide nearby maintenance for the car wash equipment later on.
"Oh wow!"
"There really is a car wash machine!"
"That's great!"
"The Property Management Company is really going all out!"
The resident said, giving Xu Ning a thumbs up.
After driving the vehicle to the designated spot, no further operation was needed; they just had to wait for the car wash machine to complete the washing process.
In about five minutes, one car was completely clean.
Before they knew it, several cars were already queuing behind.
Seeing such a lively scene, Xu Ning couldn't help but smile.
This investment isn't much, but for residents, it's convenient and saves money—definitely a case of spending a little to achieve a lot.
Li Cheng is a Residential Complex resident who owns a car but hasn't purchased a parking space, so most of the time he parks his car in the parking spaces outside the Residential Complex.
A car parked outside, exposed to wind and sun, certainly wouldn't stay clean.
And he found it troublesome, often not washing his car for a long time, making his white car look like a gray one.
Upon hearing that the Property Management Company had installed a fully automatic car wash machine, he immediately went to the Property Management front desk to request two car wash coupons.
With the car wash coupons, he could enter the underground parking garage to wash his car.
The next day, he woke up early, intending to wash his car before going to work.
When he drove his car into the underground parking garage, he found two cars already queuing, waiting to be washed.
He couldn't help but feel a bit speechless; he had woken up so early, yet someone was even earlier than him.
He dutifully queued, and ten minutes later, it was his turn to wash his car.
After the car wash was complete, he almost didn't recognize his own car.
Perhaps it was psychological, but he even felt the car was cleaner than when he first picked it up from the 4S shop.
It was just like new!
He drove to work humming a song, parking in the company's courtyard parking lot.
Coincidentally, a colleague was also parking nearby and greeted Li Cheng with a smile.
"Old Li, good morning!"
But when he saw Li Cheng's car, his colleague was a bit confused and asked doubtfully, "Did you get a new car?"
Li Cheng's mouth twitched, and he said testily, "What new car? I just washed it!"
Now his colleague was even more surprised.
"Washed it?"
"Well, I'll be!"
"Is the sun rising from the west today?"
"I've known you for so long, and I've never seen you wash your car!"
Li Cheng said with a hint of pride, "Hmph, I didn't want to wash my car before because it was expensive and troublesome, but it's different now."
His colleague was even more puzzled, asking, "What's different now? Does your relative own a car wash, so you don't have to pay?"
"I'll make you so envious when I tell you!"
"My Residential Complex just changed Property Management Companies, didn't it?"
"Wow, the new Property Management is simply divine!"
"Yesterday, the Property Management bought a fully automatic car wash machine and installed it in the Residential Complex's underground garage, allowing all residents to wash their cars for free!"
"With something so convenient and money-saving, of course I have to wash my car!"
Seeing Li Cheng's exceedingly smug expression, his colleague truly couldn't stand it.
In this day and age, how could there be such a good Property Management Company?
But that wasn't all; Li Cheng's subsequent narration made him even more jealous.
"You wouldn't believe it, not only did they buy a fully automatic car wash machine, but the Property Management is just too considerate!"
"Before, the Property Management purchased two large buses specifically to serve as school buses to pick up and drop off students, and they also run four trips to the supermarket every day as shuttle buses!"
"It's all free!"
"You probably wouldn't believe it if I told you, right?"
His colleague was indeed unwilling to believe it, his mouth already wide open in astonishment at this point.
They even bought two large buses specifically to serve residents?
This was a bit much!
He also had children at home who took the school bus every day, and the monthly school bus fee was 500 yuan!
Although it didn't sound like much, it was almost 5,000 yuan a year!
If Li Cheng's Residential Complex Property Management provided free school buses, wouldn't families with students save 5,000 yuan every year?
It was simply like something out of a fairy tale!
In comparison, the awful Property Management service in his own Residential Complex was simply unbearable.
"I don't want to talk to you anymore!"
Li Cheng couldn't help but burst into laughter; this bragging was truly satisfying!
Similar scenes also occurred in many places.
Perhaps the only ones feeling a bit troubled right now were the car wash shops across the street from the Residential Complex.
His car wash mainly targeted customers from the two surrounding Communities, and because Binjiang Centennial Community was large, it even accounted for more than half of his customer base.
Since yesterday, the number of people coming for car washes had decreased by more than half.
He initially thought yesterday might have just been a slow business day, but he didn't expect today to be the same sorry state.
Moreover, they also noticed that the people coming to wash their cars were all car owners from the other Residential Complex; almost no residents from Binjiang Centennial Community came.
What on earth was going on?
Could it be that he had inadvertently offended a resident of Binjiang Centennial, and that resident had slandered him and ruined his reputation in the Residential Complex's large group chat, which was why car owners from their Residential Complex weren't coming to his shop to wash their cars?
Thinking of this possibility, the car wash owner quickly found a way to infiltrate the Binjiang Centennial Community's resident group chat, wanting to get to the bottom of it.
At this time, the resident group chat was still discussing the car wash matter.
"Free car washes are great, it's just that the queue time is sometimes a bit long!"
"Yes, especially in the morning and after work, you have to queue for almost an hour!"
"There's no way around it; after all, everyone has time during these periods. Actually, if you come during the day, you don't have to queue!"
"It's free anyway, so even if I have to queue, I'd say it's worth it!"
"We can also make suggestions to the Property Management to see what solutions they have for this problem."
... The car wash owner was stunned!
He finally understood what was going on!
My goodness!
The Residential Complex's Property Management actually bought a fully automatic car wash machine and installed it in the Residential Complex's underground garage, allowing residents to wash their cars for free!
When there's a free option, who would still pay to wash their car?
Property Management, are you trying to kill my business?
