    Free Vacs VS. Free vacs with membership

    Maybe consider taking out the vacuums altogether if your going free and eliminate the maintenance issue. There are ss operators that have eliminated trash cans too. Hard to turn a profit when giving away a service that has maintenance expenses.

    Vac trailer or Clam Shell?

    I had 2 ring-o-matic vacuum type over the last 25 years, no experience with clam shell. Pumping your own sumps is handy as it can be done at nite or when wash is slow. I dryed dirt then hauled it away and sold some to landscaping outfits. Gardens thrived on the dirt but the weeds were a...

    Bill acceptance in the bay, was it a game changer?

    I would not be without them.If the coinmech jams they can still use bills.One incident in 26 years with bill accepter being vandalized. That case was me and customer having argument .

    Fill in the blank: If I had a nickel for every time a customer this, I'd be rich!

    Ask me or attendant if 1.00 coins work in wash after they just got them out of the changer. A few ask to exchange back to bills then get $ 20.00 in quarters.

    3 bay Touchless Car Wash Purchase

    You better figure on a full time attendent,divide hours among employees. Constant maintenance issues and keeping a parts inventory to minimize breakdowns. This is a hands on business to survive and not cost effective to have breakdowns fixed by outside techs.
