02 Format Mix

Do they operate the same format of car wash?

Format Crew Carwash Quick Quack Car Wash
Express Tunnel 10.8% 2.7%
Full Service 3.1% 0.9%
Self-Serve Bay 2.1% 0.4%
Hand Wash 1.3% 0.4%

Format share is computed across customer review mentions, not over locations. A chain with mostly express-tunnel sites but heavy detail-shop talk in reviews will show both at non-trivial rates.

Both chains are predominantly Express Tunnel operators, so they compete head-on for the same customer occasion. The choice between them is largely about brand, price point, location convenience, and customer experience rather than format differentiation.
