That looks pretty good. My current set up runs through the high pressure gun and gets very little usage. I think people would use a set up like this after I educate them. Thanks guys.

Interesting, even if you weren’t successful in this venture. You could probably convince someone locally to take over your bay lease and buy the new machine from you for half of what you paid for it Or maybe they would takeover your payment or something like that. You would just need to find...

Howdy y’all, I have been seeing a few threads about running the presoak through the foam gun. I think this is something I am going to figure out for my wash. The current Coleman low pressure presoak setup sucks! I have a Graco husky 307 pump or a Procon pump and motor I could use for this. I...

Wow, this thing jumped the rails quickly! I’m about as pro America as anyone but I really feel like blaming rich foreign folks for an industry changing is not acceptable and a pretty toxic mindset. Investors regardless of race / nationality are looking for returns. An acceptable return is...

Thanks, I disconnected those gray wires and I suppose time will tell what happens. General note* Cryptopay swipers are frustrating.... Almost every customer struggles with getting the swiper to read their card on the first try. Some cards just will not work, I havent figured out why yet...

I do have the gray wires connected. One to the timer and one to the low voltage.

Howdy yall We are have a strange issue with a bay with a cryptopay swiper. Count up. Occasionally if someone swipes their card it will run like normal then turn off a a random time before it hits the limit. After that happens, if a card is swiped it gives .25 credit on the timer but no more...

Small business in general is pretty rigorous if you want to be successful you must put in the work. I’m new to the car wash industry but I know there are constantly small problems that could stop you from being successful or eventually wear you down to the point you don’t even care. When...

I appreciate the feedback. This is a ton of help I can probably save 8k by not getting the foam n flow and the big shot wheel cleaner. Which is pretty dang good in my book. Anyone else have reservations about getting the brand new Double Barrel setup? I kinda thought I might as well get...

Howdy Yall, I am in the process of getting pricing for a new machine and am strongly considering the new Razor Double Barrel. Does anyone have any opinions on this equipment? Also, Are there any must have options or must nots? Hyperflex? Spectra Ray? Under Carriage with power towers? Big...

I have seen a few surveys posted on here with a lot of that type of information. I guess you could use their “average income” and “average traffic count” to determine a multiplier. Of course there are tons of variables so your results would vary. Plus who knows, their averages may be from...

Because that is the only multiplier that I have seen posted on this site. For my purchase, I didn’t use a multiplier to determine a value and the appraiser didn’t use it to determine the value. My appraisal was based on sold comparable properties like a residential appraisal.

Greetings, You will find a common multiplier on this forum of 3-5x GROSS. You will really have to decide for your self what your desired return is for the work involved. I would vet any information provided from the seller carefully, there is nothing really stopping them from giving you...

This is a WW 1.0.

Howdy yall, Starting yesterday my triple shine had very little foam. We have 40 psi of air and get chemicals through the nozzles but it is watery now instead of foamy. I didn’t change anything it just is not foaming like it was. Would this be an issue with the chemical mixture or is there...

Around here most banks require what is known as a phase one environmental study, basically to determine the likelihood for environmental contaminants. A phase 2 study would be to see if containments are actually present . For us it’s a financing related expense so it would be charged to the...

I am from Lawton but I need to find some Razors to check out and will drive wherever I need to. I have been talking to a couple of distributors to see what my options are.

Thanks guys, I am going to continue to research potential price increases and probably will get a new machine ordered. The water wizard actually works fine it is just slow probably can wash 7 cars per hour, it also cannot Wash Duallys or longer trucks. I got a quote for a new Razor Edge but...

I have read multiple threads regarding this topic but am I seriously considering replacing my Water Wizard 1.0. At what income level does it make sense for you guys? What increase did you see from a new machine? Decrease is water usage? Decrease in maintenance? I have only owned this place 2...

I have been looking at car washes for over a year now and most of the time the asking price doesn’t work or the land is worth more than the car wash income could support. It is definitely not unheard of to put zero down on a owner carry. A lease option could work the same if it made the...
