    Adding combo wash- need pricing ideas....

    na you doing the right thing, offering customer more options like friction wash. Like i said it would depend on how much you do on touchless, meaning the car stacks. I think if you wanted just a friction only you would be better off with an Efusion. Use the unit as a combo see how it does then...

    Can you compete against a $3.00 express wash?

    depends on other factors like location and customer base income and preference.

    Adding combo wash- need pricing ideas....

    if you gona do that i rather put in the xpress then combo unit. Because if your customer base change preference to friction. its gona be long line with that combo unit being slow. read the stacking on my unit. frustrating for customers.

    Adding combo wash- need pricing ideas....

    Depend on your touchfree stacks. I feel if customers have to sit and wait why not use the combo unit as combo (touchless and friction). That way customers are happy :).....have 2 tier brush and 2 tier touchless.

    Do you know your Gross Margins?

    Hopefully when i have replace all these parts for crappy unit Fusion X, my ratio would be better. My first year ratio is at ~50% (53.4%). Thats subtracting all expenses including property tax and mortgage. I have no labor expense. im shoveling the dirt myself lol.

    vac motors

    i want to see how these motor hold out/last. They said these are better then the one from JC. So is it safe to say change brush every 7 months, since my motors burn out in 14 months. you change those filter bags? man, those bags looks like high quality material. anybody wash and reuse those...

    cat pump

    yep you're right. They have to check both prox and eyes.. they found an eye sensor shorted out. Cable was hot and burnt at connection, so they change out both eye and cable. Once replace, crank it on for test run and guess what.... the freaking brush motor tripped and goes out. So they went...

    vac motors

    Well the motor is original from JC. I guess i have to replace all 10 of these old grey style out before i can change brush. So how often do you replace brush or how do you know when to replace brush? As for motor bearings , all the motors sound the same. I dont hear a difference yet even the...

    vac motors

    Looking for opinions

    Raising price at this day and age will be a disaster. Don't feel bad about those "lawn care service" guys too much. I still hate them but they do bring the quarters. I had people wash their horse trailer that made the bay smell like crap. Just recently the worst had to be a guy who wash his...

    cat pump

    I think some how the vibration moved the setting closer to "tripped" . I guess beating on that button and adjusting the toward the "Man" (away from the "tripped" setting) really fix the problem. Havent had any problem since. You guys are right it was a simple thing i overlooked. Have a question...
