Mister Car Wash

Rethinking the kiosk

Role

It’s time to turn “I just want the cheapest one” into “Let’s go for it!” That's the challenge we set out to tackle with Mister Car Wash and their humble kiosk. We put on our thinking caps, went out and experienced a car wash or two, talked to numerous people, interviewed managers, charted observations, and surveyed what worked and needed improvement. Armed with those insights, we envisioned what the customer experience at the kiosk could be...what it should be. Our digital design was steeped in real-world, first-hand, experiential knowledge that would excite the customer with the same care they have come to expect when they visit their local Mister Car Wash.

BRAND STRATEGY, DIGITAL DESIGN, EXPERIENCE DESIGN

Our design approach was led by the customer, to guide our decision making process. The surrounding environment of the kiosk played a considerable role in the customer's mindset, and them feeling confident in the process of selecting the desired level of car wash service.
