Ask a laundromat owner what worries them most about new equipment, and "what happens after the sale" often beats out price. Every machine wears down eventually. The real question is what a manufacturer does before machines ever reach your store, and the response you get when something does go wrong.
On the latest episode of the Laundry Nerd podcast, Alliance's quality leaders discuss how every commercial laundry machine is tested before it's boxed, rather than relying on sampling alone, including:
- The share of units that actually get tested
- What ISO 9001 certification covers beyond the plant floor
- How quickly laundry machine service responds to a reported problem
Their discussion dives into why Speed Queen® laundromat equipment tends to keep running well past the point where the sales conversation is forgotten.
When Something Goes Wrong, Owners Get Direct Laundry Machine Service
