Captain- What kind of friction machines are you running at your locations? $ of Wash Packages? How are the damages claims, I would assume they are more rare now with the newer technology. And also, do you recommend any friction rollovers?

Hello Everyone again! As some of you may know I am thinking of adding a IBA to my gas/conv store. I was leaning towards a touch-free IBA such as the new PDQ laserwash system but now am considering a friction rollover IBA such as the Mark VII system. I have noticed these at kwik trip stores and...

are quality doors usually around 15k? I did look into a Hamilton auto-teller unit and with the price nearing almost 20k, I think the PDQ access is fine for around 11-12k. From what I can see the few extra features doesn't really justify the more cost. Maybe, someone else can chime in on why they...

so far we are uncertain whether it will be city water or well water that will be used. If it's city we would have to go with a reclaim, if its the well then I am not sure of as of yet. Even though, we go the well route It was suggested to install a couple tanks whether in couple years they...

Steve- It sounds like you have a great setup at your station. You have the ability to offer many different options such as two different washes. Our property is very limited to space so it is either one or the other. There is also the added stipulation that there cannot be noise pollution...

Correct me if I am mistaken, but is that not your profession? A carwash consultant? I do need to get a business plan prepared, the guy at the bank said he could get me one for $300-400.

Steve- If you don't mind, how much gas volume are you doing at your station? Did you put in both IBA's new construction? I am willing to make the investment so both the carwash and the station go hand and hand. You are def. right it would not be worth it to just build it and not market it as a...

You are absolutely right. As much as I do want to go with the latter and be a professional car wash service, I don't think that is something that I would be able to achieve with the space, layout of the gas station and the manpower. I would like to provide the convenience of getting the guest's...

I do think it is beneficial in this stage before I start and construct the carwash to not invest a whole lot of money into it, that is the main reason if I can save 50-60k, that is that much less I have to make back on the return. They are saying when it's all said and done it will be around...

100k complete! Thats half of the price of what I was quoted from PDQ. I guess there is no water reclaim because it is coming from a well. I am going to look into other systems, because I highly doubt if they are asking 200-230k for the new laserwash system including doors etc they will be...

Couple of questions hopefully you guys can help me out. I am looking to add a single in-bay automatic, at our c-store/gas. It would be new construction, land is already owned. I have had a chance to try PDQ's new laserwash, as well as the old laserwash 4000. I was quite satisifed with the old...
