You could finance it and let it pay for it self.
A 150K machine financed through lets just say ascentium is a rough $2800/month payment/72month. $2800 divided by a min $10 average is 280 washes month. Thats an average of 9 a day to break even. Anything beyond that is profit after including chem...
Touchfree washes are really not affected by tunnels. Ive had plenty of brand new tommys car washes open around me and I have not seen a drop at all since the two years they are opened. I even have paid vacs and there still just as busy as before. I would never give them away for free. I also...
With a five dollar minimum like you have I can see why it doesn't matter to charge different for CC. Unfortunately in my area $5 is way too high. Thats why I charge the extra dollar minimum on cc to gain as much left overs as I can from the people just using a cc for the minimum amount.
Respectfully disagree. People dont care when they spend on their CC. Let alone about one dollar. It's not like spending cash. Im guilty of this myself. Every gas station has a cash and a credit price for gas and their ticket amounts are way higher than a car wash. Liqour stores around me usually...
I honestly dont believe water is your issue. I understand your controllers are new and as much as I like Hamilton and there tech support guys because there great but those silver controllers seem to be hit or mis. Ive replaced plenty of new ones and seems to always solve random weird issues. I...
I had an issue with 1 ID tech on a brand new commander. Was not the tamper though. It was replaced and so far so good. I actually changed out all my ingenicos(6) to the ID tech and everything has been great. Customers love them. I think you have something going on besides just the reader. Maybe...
I have a 2IBA/5SS with 14ft clearance bays. Ive closed off the first three bays with clearance bars to 8ft. The truckers absolutely destroy the bays with grease. I would not give them any incentive to wash with you. Most likely you will be the only one that can fit them anyway so they have no...
This exactly. I had a lady call me and tell me she's disgusted with her car wash this morning and how it was a big waste of money, theres dirt all over her car and she will never be back. My first question was ok which wash did you use the soft cloth or the touchless. She replied the hand held...
Have you tried calling the distributor you bought it from? Refurbished is a loosely used word that is defined differently by who you ask and what they mean by it. Some people think putting decals on a machine considers it refurbished.
File a police report. It will be essential in getting your deductible back if you make an insurance claim. The subrogation department will give it back to you but you have to stay on top of it. They will not contact you and tell you they owe you money. You have to be on top of them.
lol what did I do to you. He was a crack head. Should I give him workers comp too lmaooo maybe you should read your comments at night and in morning on every thread and just not this one. I would be embarrassed. You make no sense. Lay off the booze buddy.
I have single phase motors on some air compressors and pro con pumps at least 20 of them and they have lasted 10 years plus. If there not all 10-20 years old then theres no reason for one to go bad every year or two. Check what wire gauge is feeding them. If that s good then buy a different...
THIS. I remember starting out having no money. I use to pay a crackhead $100 to shovel and bucket a 1000 gallon pit. It would take all day maybe two. It is what it is and you got to do what you have to survive. Fast forward I order 8 vac trucks at a time and hit all the spots in one day. Its a...
It's $300 for hard drive upgrade or $2300 for controller upgrade.
Something about the "sockets" that process CC info is the reason for upgrade now that there finally shutting down 2 1/2 years after EOL. Beyond my pay grade.
This time I did the controller but I expect in few years to only have...
