Automatic car wash equipment manufacturer for dealerships, gas stations, and operators
AUTEC manufactures four product lines of fully automatic car wash systems (soft-touch, touchless, combination, and polishers) sold to auto dealerships, gas stations, lube centers, and independent operators. The tech stack is industrial-grade (Siemens PLC, SOLIDWORKS, SAP) paired with modern sales infrastructure (Salesforce, GoHighLevel), but project focus reveals internal friction: quoting playbooks, CRM alignment, and sales process structure are active priorities — signaling that growth is constrained by sales operations maturity, not equipment capability.
AUTEC, founded in 1982 and based in Statesville, NC, manufactures fully automatic car wash systems across four core product categories. The company serves auto dealerships, gas stations, lube centers, and car wash operators who need turnkey, 24/7-operable equipment. AUTEC's go-to-market includes site evaluation, traffic analysis, installation guidance, and service-partner coordination. The organization spans 51–200 employees across engineering, manufacturing, sales, and finance, with hiring velocity slowing and current openings concentrated in technical and sales functions.
AUTEC manufactures four product lines: soft-touch car wash systems, touchless (contact-free) systems, combination systems, and soft-touch car polishers. All systems are 100% automatic and can operate unattended 24 hours daily.
Core stack includes Siemens PLC and SOLIDWORKS Electrical for design and control systems; SAP and SAP Business One for ERP; Salesforce and GoHighLevel for sales and CRM operations; Microsoft Office suite for business functions.
