I have had over 13 years
It’s a decent revenue stream
If it’s a busy site I wouldn’t take out a bay to add but if you have additional land and are looking for a revenue stream I would add. If it a good location I might add 2 that way if one gets destroyed and it will you’ll have a additional...
I have Soft glass max five and I did add the bug prep option which does help some if the bugs have been on that bumper a long time they’re like concrete you can’t scrape them off with your fingernail or even a brush in the self serve
If you don’t want to buy a nice 3 phase compressor which I guess costs around $3k
I have bought at rural king and had good success
Buy the longest extended warranty you can
They also work on them in house
I’ve painted my bays with a stripe and it looks good. I just keep some extra paint and touch up from time to time as needed
You just have to repaint about every year or so but Va after you paint the first time it doesn’t take long at all to paint a bay
As far as tearing out equipment a...
If it blows every time you replace it first try and play your timer and see if that keeps it from blowing you may have a bad time if it’s not bad you may have to start unhooking you’re hot and neutral wires and see if that blows the fuse if that does then you got a problem between your bay meter...
What is the craziest or most interesting thing you have ever found at you car wash?
I once found a bobcat that had been killed hanging from a mat hanger. That was a good one
I love cryptopay for the credit cards. Easy install. I’ve had it for about 3-4 years no issues whatsoever. Young people don’t carry cash. I still do a lot of Q business but more & more people are using credit cards especially on IBA and it will bleed over to the SS side as time goes on. And with...
One of the main problems is the equipment side of things. In the rental business properties generally appreciate and tenants usually don’t destroy the property usually. With a car wash neglect from the operator especially with IBA can destroy the equipment and the business which can amount to...
Is everyday a repair day?
I ran a new wire for a heater I’m installing in my IBA
I get down out of the attic and my brother stops by and we’re talking about NCAA Tournament and guy pulls up in bay 2 of self serve and yells over Is it not working? I go over and no power on bay meter??
So I go in...
I just use standard gray 32gal cans from Lowe’s no trash bags just take to dumpster and empty. Cut a circular hole on the lid. It’s usually the people that spend no money that give you the most trash, but that’s just part of it. The more times you empty them the more trash you get. But all in...
I added a Merlin filter from Harbor freight right at the main air compressor and also added another filter right before the flow jets so hopefully that may fix my problem, I may have already ruined the flow jets willhave to wait-and-see
Thanks for the help
I’m having issues with both my foam brush & tire clean. It seems like both Flo jets are getting air locked. It doesn’t seem to matter which bay when you select foam brush or tire clean the flo jet won’t start. If you mess with it move it around or take the air supply out and re insert it will...
Just look on Kleenrite
Not a huge revenue producer but I’ve hade it hot over 14 years and hardly done anything. Do if you have the room I’d recommend it. It’s like self serve it only takes one customer to make a huge mess so no one else can use it till it’s cleaned up. It’s more than paid for...
