Sezgin İğneci, who left his position in tourism management in Ordu, stated that he achieved higher profits with his model compared to traditional car washing by launching a waterless and mobile car washing service to draw attention to global warming.
Sezgin İğneci, a 43-year-old who worked as a senior manager in the tourism sector for many years in Ordu, left his profession to raise awareness about global warming by starting a waterless and mobile car washing service.
Originally from Koyulhisar, Sivas, but having resided in Ordu for a long time, Sezgin İğneci developed a different idea based on the difficulties customers faced with car washing during his years in the tourism sector. After leaving his managerial profession, he launched a waterless and mobile car washing service, taking into account global warming. Turning his minibus into a workplace, İğneci cleans the cars of his customers by going to their location without using water, stating that a small amount of water is used only in cases of heavy mud on the vehicles.
"FROM MANAGEMENT TO ENTREPRENEURSHIP"
Expressing that he worked as a manager in the service sector for years, İğneci said, "There was a high demand in the tourism sector, and we could not meet that demand. When our customers came to our businesses, they could not find a place to wash their cars. We implemented a number of projects in this regard, but we could not put them into operation. I have launched a project to be the only one in the region. As we know, the effects of global warming are also felt in our country. Therefore, we provide our citizens with the service of washing our cars both inside and outside without water as an alternative. In addition, we disinfect the interiors of the vehicles with steam without using water and chemical products," he said.
"WE PROVIDE SERVICE MOBILY"
Stating that they clean the vehicles at their location and that they earn more than they would from a normal wash, Sezgin İğneci said, "Our vehicles can sometimes come from highlands, and when they are very muddy, we first rinse the mud off with a small amount of water, and then we continue to wash the vehicles without water using various solutions. These processes do not harm the vehicles; they definitely do not scratch. Right now, people are working and their time is limited. We go to the location where people are working and clean their vehicles on-site in a mobile manner," he said.
