    Who builds SS + IBA car washes?

    Probably correct, seems like OP was asking for particular specialized builders - maybe I'm mistaken on that.

    Who builds SS + IBA car washes?

    There is no way to know valuation without knowing the location, values will vary greatly depending on location. Not many people building ss/IBA nowadays - so not really anyone who specializing in building them anymore.

    Has anyone connected a Nayax to a Fragramatic Vac?

    yes, we have some connected in count down, basically set up so it sends pulses to timer like a coin mech or bill acceptor would. I don't think there is a way to keep the different pricing between vac and fragrance/shampoo in count-up mode, but we were planning to do count down on vacs anyways...

    ACW 4 Not Escrowing Washes

    Have you tried calling hamilton? They have been good for support when we needed it. Escrow can be turned off too if it's cheating customers out of washes currently, which it sounds like it is.

    Effective SS Presoak

    Summer breeze is the complete opposite of an effective presoak, it does basically nothing. It's foam, color, and scent

    Combo Vacs

    This is extremely market dependent, our shampoo vacs do well at all our locations, fragrance vac does well at 1 location but not the others. If I had to buy new vacs, I would probably get all regular vacs, maybe I would sprinkle in a few shampoo vacs, but it's hard to justify the extra cost. I...

    That's a little ridiculous

    Nayak Vs Monex Vs CryptoPay

    We have found an external stop button necessary with count up. It has cut down our complaints and no issue if the screen is unresponsive. We add to all new count up installs and went back and installed on our old installs as well.

    Calculating Water Usage and Energy Consumption

    Every machine is going to be different. Manufacturer should have that info. That should be a quick call or email to get what you need.

    Blowers/Drying Agent

    Does this really work? I started looking at the sales literature after seeing your post. Seems like its too good to be true. Micro and Nano bubbles seem to have been around in different industries for over a decade and never really gained traction in car washing.

    Help! Smart Switch To Control Pay Station Remotely

    You can use a smart plug of your choice and "plug" the main power of the gold line into that. Its pretty simple, may just have to add receptacles and plugs to your wiring if it is currently hard wired. There are many smart plugs and relays to choose from on Amazon and any other major retailer

    Survival; Just bought a car wash, Now tunnel opening a block away

    For the life of what is the question. I had a similar membership a while back before getting in the car wash business. At some point, Mammoth took over the wash and a few months later my membership renewed at the new, higher price without notice. When calling to inquire, I was pretty rudely told...

    Feedback requested: Thumb up or thumb down?

    6.42 is a high multiple on a surface level view, but as Roz said it's all trade offs. You are buying in a high land cost area and getting owner financing for 50% at a very reasonable interest rate, both of which will add significantly to sale price. Proceed with caution, but seems to be worth...

    What timer and equipment? They are all programmed differently

    Beneficial Ownership Filing.

    Reversed again, deemed unconstitutional and not required...for now at least. Will be interesting to see how this plays out at the end. They are trying to use this as a way to prevent money laundering and such, but the people doing that will definitely find a way around this pretty easily. It'll...

    Pre soak soap leaking for self bay gun .

    That is most likely some junk stuck in solenoid holding it open, even though it's new, try taking apart and see if there is something holding plunger open.
