Nepal on Its Way to Becoming A Thriving Auto Detailing Market

CarzSpa Detailing Studios is already established as one of the leading car detailing franchises in India. But, over the last 4 years, the brand’s reach has spread in Nepal as the country is currently developing into a significant market for car detailing services.

What makes Nepal a hub with excellent prospects for car detailers, what challenges exist, and how has CarzSpa established its base there? Our Nepal Master Franchisee Tarun Ahuja, who has previously run CarzSpa Lucknow car detailing franchise in India, breaks it down for us all.

1. Can you tell us a little about Nepal's Automobile industry? What kind of cars do people drive and how is the market for high-end automobiles in the country?

After oil and gas, automobiles are the most imported items in Nepal. People in Nepal mostly drive SUVs (sports utility vehicles) because of the rocky terrain and uneven roads in the cities and villages. The vehicles here in Nepal cost about 2.5 times more than its actual sale value in Indian Rupees. For instance, a Volkswagen Polo costs ₹25,00,000/- in Nepal. So people who are willing to spend such a sum in purchasing a car are happy to spend a good amount for its maintenance, detailing and paint protection.

2. How aware and informed are the car owners in Nepal about car detailing, PPF installation and ceramic coating?

Proportionately, most car owners who walk into CarzSpa’s detailing studios know what ceramic coating means and why it is required. However other car detailing services, like the PPF installation, are still in the initial phase. People here require more understanding and awareness about it.

We at CarzSpa Nepal are channelling our expertise to make car enthusiasts of Nepal familiar and more informed about the various car detailing services, their importance and the products we use for top-notch results. CarzSpa has the best product for the same.

3. How many detailers or brands are active in Nepal, providing Car Detailing and other premium services?

There are around 15 detailing studios in Kathmandu itself. Some are brands and some are unorganised ones. Some Indian companies and local detailers, like Ceramic Pro, Nepal Motors etc. are here too. But in the last 3 years, CarzSpa has emerged as one of the major players in the industry, thanks to our organised and professional approach towards detailing as an industry, the involvement of thoroughly trained professionals and detailers for the job, and the great quality of the products we provide to the consumers.

4. How big or valuable is the industry in Nepal?

Nepal is a small country with a population of about 3 crore residents. It has 7 small yet active cities, while Kathmandu is the biggest city followed by Pokhara. Apart from Kathmandu other towns are very small and the population is just 3 to 4 lakh residents. Despite having a small market to cater to, they have great value. Given the costs of automobiles are higher than their counterparts in India, people are very keen on keeping their cars safe and ensuring their value remains intact for a long period. Additionally, the difficult weather conditions and hilly regions in the country means the cars require regular upkeep in the form of detailing, PPF installation or ceramic coatings.

Stunning On the Outside & Inside with Intensive Interior Car Cleaning

When it comes to cars, it’s also what is on the inside that matters! People pay extensive attention and money to some of the best car washing services in India, to keep their car’s exterior spotless. After all, who doesn’t want to ride around in that studio-finish shine?

However, the most amount of time with a car is spent behind the wheel, on the inside. And it is important that every time you step into the car, you feel positive, fresh and ready to take on the journey! And that’s why your car needs intensive interior cleaning on a regular basis.

Intensive interior cleaning is a part of CarzSpa’s premium detailing services provided across 70+ studios all over India and Nepal. Is it the best car cleaning service in India? It is more than the usual car wash and car cleaning services found at car repair and maintenance workshops. At CarzSpa, we have a scientific and process-driven approach to interior cleaning, making sure to clean and protect all internal parts from dust particles, stains and dirt from regular usage.

Looks, vibe and a perfect drive

Cleaning the inside of your car is an add-on to the complete look of your car. A spotless and stainless inside that matches the glossy exterior is a perfect package for all car enthusiasts. In addition, intensive interior cleaning goes beyond regular surface vacuuming and stain removal.

When intensely cleaned, your car has steam-cleaned, shampooed and premium conditioned leather seats, floor carpet, dashboard, windows and even handles. Intensive interior car detailing also eliminates all bad odour from your car so that you get that fresh feel each time you drive.

So, what exactly do we do in Intensive Interior Cleaning?

1. Vacuuming every nook and corner of your car’s interior

One of the first steps taken as a part of the intensive interior cleaning is vacuuming. At first, all the ducts, vents and smaller corners are brushed off with sash brushes, followed by a powerful vacuuming using the wet and dry vacuum cleaner.

This ensures that all the dust and particulate matter that has settled down on the mats, AC vents, car seat fabrics and pores are loosed up and cleaned off.

2. Steam cleaning

Steam cleaning increases the effectiveness of the cleaning operation. We fill the car with steam vapour and close the door for about 5 to 10 minutes. It helps loosen the heavy dirt in the grooves of plastic/fibre interiors. The controlled steam also helps dislodge the micro particles and air pollutants that may be lurking in its passageways of car AC vents.

Steam vapour breaks the bond between the dirt, grime, grease everywhere inside, and lifts the stubborn stains like spillage of milk, juices or other liquids from the surfaces, without damaging the surfaces of the interior.
