Would you rather own a express/full service or a 4+2?

No just the electrical usage of the vacuum on demand feature volts x amps = watts. We get charged by the kw killowatts per hour. I can track the usage through a car wash data acquisition system the amount of time across all of the vacuums systems is calculated at the end of each month I can write it off as an expense at the end of every quarter. As a cost of doing business. It's the way I recoup revenue from giving free vacuums away at the end of every quarter.

I have no idea why this is an issue or done every quarter. I get a bill from the electric company, write a check in QB and it's entered as a deductible expense along with all the deductible expenses.

Maybe I'm missing something but this seems like a solution looking for a problem?

I was thinking if an IBA only site with no vacs or trash cans could work. Vacs are so profitable - hate to go without them, but there would be no reason for customers to ever get out of their car unless they towel dried after their wash.

I have that setup, in front of WalMart. Does pretty good. Almost zero issues
