If you are going to raise vac prices only .25, you are better off keeping the price at $1.00 but lowering the time to 3:30. Customers won’t know you cut the time but they surely will notice a .25 increase as they’ll have to break another dollar bill into quarters. Cutting time makes your...

It's pretty easy to figure out how to increase capacity. at 500 month members x 3 washes a month = 1500 additional washes per month or 18k per year. 1500 additional washes per month divided by 30 days = 50 more washes a day. 50 more washes a day divided by 10 hour days = 5 more cars an hour...

How many club members do you have? The less total members, the more those members will wash. Industry averages is usually right around 3x a month. The more members you have, that total wash number per month will naturally go down. So if your goal is to have around 300 members, expect higher...

I have 16 free vacuums at my location. They stay very busy between my 7 bay self serve and my 100' tunnel. They all don't get the same exact usage so I rather just replace the brushes that are very worn then have a motor blow up.

The same reason as if there were no bags at all inside the vacuum. Maybe my monorail vacs are different than yours but my bags are cloth without any small holes in them.

A $3 coupon won’t get me out of bed, especially if I don’t need a wash that day. A free wash will give your new operation plenty of foot traffic and a chance for people just wanting a freebee to potentially become customers.

Earl, are your vac bags installed properly or maybe they have holes in them? A small space will expose your motors to more moisture(I’m sure you know this already but putting it out there for other vac novices) I need to replace brushes 3-4 times a year and my motors never look like that and...

Unless you’re their friend, not sure why you need to defend them. They jumped right in this thread to defend themselves but haven’t been back since when legit questions about their business practices arise. Their lack of response here mimics their customers real world experiences. There’s a...

Outside the box advertising: Everyone already knows these are vacuums so why not custom design these to something else you offer like an oil change, detailing, or other more profitable item. $35 each at Fastsigns including free design [/URL][/IMG]

I just replaced 16 vac decals 2 weeks ago. Use these below and you’ll get the stickers and residue off in less than 10 mins [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG]

Looks like there is a self serve solution without the costly RFID setup. https://youtu.be/8kjq7JacEpU

If you guys only charge 20% which seems reasonable, can you explain the discrepancy from $1600 to $1000 from the original poster?

Ask for annual car counts. If he has a POS or controller, he'll be able to give you this info in like a minute. Ask what his average ticket is. most likely is the price average of his 3-5 packages unless he does detailing/oil changes etc. Do the math then see if these match up(or are close) to...

its the first of the month. What happened to your visit? :confused: You must have been really busy catching all those drum.

yup, every car dealership in our area that has a car wash attached tells their customers that "all car washes scratch cars." except ours of course so make sure you keep washing your Benz here. It sucks, but this happens in all businesses from restaurants to dentists. Don't focus on his failure...

I delayed it for 3 years before I finally bought into a monthly club. It is the greatest thing to hit the car wash industry if you put your full resources behind it and realize it is the most profitable thing you can do to to move the needle in terms of revenues generated. Starting a membership...

I'm not as familiar with the $3 express model but I do know that people will pay for value. we have 5-6 car washes in a 5 mile radius of us that all do the same type of washing we do. Some are flex, some are full serve, all are priced relatively similar to each other(We are the highest). All...

Clean Machine Car Wash & Detail Center 401 W. Glenside Avenue Glenside PA 19038 Let me know what day you'll be by as I like to roll out the red carpet for Car Wash Royalty. why do I suspect I'm being super trolled here?
