Environmentally friendly features: “Our water reclamation system saves water by recirculating the water used in the wash cycle back onto certain pieces of equipment in the wash,” said Marty Donat, director of new unit growth at Mammoth Holdings, which owns Silverstar. “Also, by lubricating the equipment with in-house recycled water, we cut back on the cost of water usage, overall.”
Other cool info to share: “We also have an indoor climate-controlled space for its mat cleaning machine and a windshield washer fluid fill station, which was a unique introduction,” Donat said. “It has been used at least once per day since installation, but since it is somewhat unique at this time, it has become a great opener for Silverstar ambassadors to begin a chain of communication.
Silverstar has 17 vacuums at the Iowa locations — which all include compressed air — and dry down towels at towel caddies located at every other parking spot (eight caddies, in total).
“Plus, the top wash offers Graphene powered by Rain-X, which helps protect against scratches, water spots and UV rays,” Donat said.
