Please be more specific - $75K: without blowers, without paystation and without installation, plumbing and electrical? I don’t believe there is any feasible machine in that range. Perhaps some bare- bones, dealership level machine with none of the above added expenses, but I even doubt...
Several have come up for sale used - I have seen them online. They will definitely not be as prominent as the washworlds, PDQ etc. because they do not have the volume of machines out yet that the other manufacturers have.
One last thought - if it is condensation on your blowers. Are your blower housings and ducts plastic or metal? I would think your chances of getting condensation would be greater with metal, and also pose a bigger chance of generating some type of sediment when condensation forms on the...
If he’s a good person you hit the jackpot (and probably had something to do with it along the way). Someone will buy your wash - let him be him and be happy!
Not sure what you have going on there. If no chemicals were used and you are getting that, it seems like a water quality issue to me.
As far as heated blowers, most tunnel operators I know will have gas fired heaters in the area around their blowers and blower intakes. Something like a...
I understand what you are saying, and yes, you can get similar results with fewer products.
No impact on throughput for me though , as I have a tunnel. I do, however, think that in a tiered menu system, it is easier for customers to opt for a higher priced package when they see the offerings...
Not by me - that is exactly what I did and strongly suggest it to all future investors. I worked at a gas station wash, a rollover and self serve location and cloth exterior all in the 1980’s and early 1990’s to get experience.
These were my high school and college jobs. Also my prep for...
Both posts above have all great points. Also - how long is this lease for? Can the owner break it at a specified time? Like was already said, you could potentially be paying for the rehab of someone else’s wash.
He is not my salesman - just a rep I speak to - there is no payment or sales involved with him. Also, he did not tell me to layer it - he said if I am using both, put the ceramic on first and the graphene second.
I asked a Simoniz rep that exact question before incorporating it in my wash and he said to do the ceramic first and then the graphene. I don’t know- maybe it is dependent on the brand?
I started using Graphene in my tunnel and it is definitely a keeper. I started by putting it on my top package at no extra charge for a month. I didn’t advertise it or charge for it - no signs, lights, arches, etc. it was applied without any notice right after the ceramic sealant. Customers...
I agree that your prices are very low, but you are also behind on your product offerings. No Rain X, Hot Wax, Ceramic or Graphene. I’m not saying you need all of them, but if your current top “protection “ chemical is a drying agent, your chemistry can be updated quite a bit. I’m not...
