Within just 10 minutes, vehicles can be spanking clean. This is being made possible by Vivaanta Auto Spa, the first business of its kind in Guyana.
Standing out with its sleek gold and black exterior, the Vivaanta Auto Spa is located at the corner of Sheriff and Duncan Streets in Georgetown.
At the official launch of the drive-thru car wash on Friday, the Director of Vivaanta Inc, Nitin Mehra, revealed that a major part of the company’s vision is to create local job opportunities.
“Today marks the beginning of a new chapter, one that blends traditional service with cutting-edge technology that defines the spa. Our mission is to uphold the same commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction that has been the cornerstone of our vision, in which we have been proudly serving the people of Guyana since 2019.”

He added, “This venture also represents an important contribution to Guyana’s economy by providing job opportunities. We are proud to play a role in the country’s developmental growth, raising the bar of excellence in Guyana.”
The businessman also emphasised that this touchless drive-thru is powered by the latest advancements in technology, offering the Guyanese population a top-tier auto spa experience.
“Our state-of-the-art facilities will offer a range of premium services, from a touchless to drive-through car wash, and automotive care. These services, powered by the latest advancements in technology, will ensure every customer receives the quality they deserve. We believe in the power of innovation,” Mehra stated whilst happily thanking the support of his two sons.

Meanwhile, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of The Guyana Office for Investment (Go-Invest), Dr Peter Ramsaroop, who was also present at the launch highlighted the transformation of the business from foreign to local investor.
“When you see a foreign investor such as the Vivaantas coming to Guyana and now becoming a local investor, that is probably the best success story I can see. The transformation in Guyana is happening before our eyes. The services industry is stepping up and booming.”
With the vision to upscale auto services within Guyana, he said that it is key for Guyanese to support this trend.
“With the vision of this family, we can also support the new wave that is happening in our country, and I consider them local investors now. We, as Guyanese, should treat them that way. The fact that over 90 per cent of the people working in this car wash are Guyanese—you can’t get better than that.”
Ramsaroop also highlighted that over ten thousand cars entered Guyana in the last month— the most any number of cars has ever entered the country. The demand for services, from mechanics to car washes, is high, and technology is very important in the transformation. “It may seem like a small investment, but it’s not.”
Very soon one of the Mehra’s will be opening a high-end, state-of-the-art medical facility. This new venture will offer exceptional medical services, continuing the family’s commitment to offering high-quality care to the country.
Thus far, some 15 persons are employed at the facility including both locals and foreigners.
