I went to $2 per minute. $10 start (5 minutes).

We were about 90-10 in favor of CC. During covid we dropped cash altogether. It has worked out great.

Not much competition close by. All the other car washes have been sold and torn down to build mixed use buildings. (apartments on top of 1 story of retail. I need to raise my prices again soon. Seattle is a really expensive place to live and run a business.

Seattle Washington $6 start for 4 mins. $1.50 each additional minute $3 3 mins vacuums. no cash all credit cards

Our homeless situation in Seattle is bad. I mean beyond your wildest idea of awful. Lots of mental illness and drug addiction. We stopped taking cash altogether. Just credit card. No paper money of quarters at all. And added automatic gates to close the whole wash at 10PM and security...

Randy is in Tacoma which is still a pretty good business climate compared to where I am in Seattle. I'm a liberal but the condition of this city would make your head explode.

Randy, I read somewhere that Hamilton has a new Goldline that does swipe less credit card transactions. The Apple Pay and Google pay tap kind. Do you have any experience with them?

We're vending tokens currently (CC to token) but plan on stopping that pretty soon. Prior to the switchover we're about 70% CC users.

4 Bay self serve & 3 IBA's. Last week we went 100% cashless. Mainly to combat tweakers trying to break in and cut down on time and expense of removing cash all the time. Curious if anyone else has gone this route and the results?

We've ordered custom one sa few times. The problem is the plastic bags are thinner and the air fresheners lose their scent very quickly.

We can't get quarters from Guarda in Seattle.

We added the doors to prevent spray from hitting people vacuuming their cars and to lower the sound level for new apartments across the street. I think entrance doors are next. Airlift seems to make a great product.

We just added exit doors to our automatics. The door closes when the wash starts and opens at the end. Some customers are freaking out, scared it won't open when the wash finishes. Do any of you have signage on the door itself to tell customers what's going on? And if so what does it say...

If you have a chance could you post a picture?

Thanks the Entrance Yoke and Correlator might be better then the steel guides we have now. Our IBA's are after a 90 degree turn due to a narrow site. Have any of the more experienced guys on here ever seen something like this while entering a Ryko?

Anyone know where I can purchase wheel guides like this. I've poked around KR but haven't found anything.

I am considering ripping out my JE Adams vacuums and putting in a central vacuum system. I need to remove my stand alone vacuums for the turn radius and cut down on sound due to city sound rule enforcement. Could anyone recommend leading central vacuum manufacturers? Any experience?

What kind of camera system do they have? We've been drilling holes and installing I pinhole cameras. Always looking for a better system.

I just installed automated gates that close off the entrance and exit at 10pm -6AM. We've cut down on a lot of trash.

Im raising my IBA prices and adding a prep guy before they enter to do the wheels. I wanted to get some custom branded buckets for the brushes. Anyone have an ideas on a good place to buy without crazy minimums? Suggestions on the best brushes, soap etc are appreciated.
