§ 01 — Auto Shop & Dealership Cleaning

Customers judge your shop
by the bathroom.

Auto repair shops, tire centers, oil change stations, body shops, and dealerships run two cleaning realities at once — an industrial service bay full of oil, grease, brake dust, and absorbent kitty litter, and a customer-facing waiting area, restroom, and showroom that has to feel clean enough to justify the invoice. Otesse cleans both without dragging the bay into the lobby.

§ 02 — Automotive Realities

Oil tracks into the lobby.
Customers notice.

A service technician walks across an oil-spotted bay and into the customer lounge to grab a coffee. The CSI score the next week is six points lower and nobody can pinpoint why. Cleaning is a customer experience lever — most shops underspend it and lose CSI dollars they cannot explain.

01

Service Bay Floor.

Oil drips, grease tracks, coolant puddles, brake dust, kitty litter, and the absorbent pad somebody put down three weeks ago. The floor is a slip-and-fall liability and a OSHA citation waiting to happen.

How Otesse handles it

Bay floor protocol — degreasing, oil-absorbent management, kitty litter rotation, sealed-concrete attention, and slip-resistance maintenance. Coordinated with your service manager on bay rotation so we do not interrupt active jobs.

02

Hazardous Waste + Used Oil.

Used oil drums leak. Coolant containers tip. Brake dust is everywhere. Improper handling is a state environmental violation and a fire marshal problem.

How Otesse handles it

Hazardous waste-aware cleaning — we do not consolidate, dispose, or move regulated waste. Spill containment supplies, absorbent management, and coordination with your contracted oil + coolant pickup vendor. Documentation maintained.

03

Customer Lounge + Coffee Bar.

The customer lounge is where the upsell happens. Coffee on the floor, dust on the magazines, fingerprints on the TV, and a kid's play area that nobody has touched in weeks. Customers leave with a bad memory.

How Otesse handles it

Hospitality-grade lounge cycle — coffee bar restocking, surface detail, kids area sanitation, magazine + tablet rotation, vending area attention. The lounge feels like the dealership cared, not just the service drive.

04

Customer Restrooms.

Customer restrooms in auto shops are notoriously bad. Greasy fingerprints on the door handle, no soap by 11am, paper towels overflowing, and the smell at 4pm is the reason that one-star Google review showed up.

How Otesse handles it

Customer restroom cycle separate from technician restroom — restocking discipline, mid-day floor pass, neutral-scent disinfectant, and a complaint hotline that routes to a real person. The restroom matches the showroom.

05

Showroom + Inventory Detail.

The showroom floor is the brochure. Smudged glass on the new inventory, dust on the dashboard, scuffed floor, dusty light fixtures — and the salesperson is showing a $60K vehicle through it.

How Otesse handles it

Showroom protocol — glass detailing, vehicle exterior dust pass on indoor inventory, polished-concrete floor cycle, light fixture detail, and showroom-window pressure-wash cadence. The showroom photographs like the website.

06

Service Drive + Lot Pressure-Wash.

The service drive accumulates oil, brake dust, road grime, and tire marks. The lot collects cigarette butts, fast-food trash, and customer debris. The first impression of your shop is the parking lot.

How Otesse handles it

Pressure-wash cycle on service drive and high-traffic lot zones. Trash pull, cigarette butt management, oil stain treatment, and seasonal deep wash. The lot signals "this shop respects the work."

§ 03 — The Otesse Difference

Bay-grade discipline,
showroom-grade finish.

Benefit 01

Service Bay Specialists.

Degreasing chemistry, absorbent management, sealed-concrete care — we know the difference between a bay floor and a parking lot, and we clean each accordingly.

Benefit 02

Customer Experience Cleaning.

Lounge, restroom, showroom — we clean the surfaces customers judge you by, on a cadence that holds up at 4pm Friday, not just at 8am Monday.

Benefit 03

Hazardous Waste-Aware.

We do not touch regulated waste. We coordinate with your oil + coolant + brake fluid pickup vendor and document the chain. Environmental compliance stays clean.
