first hose 44k washes (new hp hose from WW is about $750 + shipping). 2nd cheap hose lasted 27k washes ($180). Just installed 3rd hose & was about $165. NOt sure how long it will last. But I ain't paying nearly $1000 for a hp hose. Looks like WW hose is about 5x as much as getting one done...
I'm not sure, but here are my 3 choices:
1. Keep it exactly how it is, & make sure I collect those 24 swipes each day x $14.80. This assures I don't lose $120,000 + per year on 2 sites!
2. After quitting my job of 34 years (9mos before retirement), I can Go to the wash & ask each swipe customer...
I added Cryptopay Swipe & Tap about 4 mos ago, to my Razor Edge. This was a very busy site. I'm @ 70% CC usage. Of that 35% is swipe. Dang I am glad I didn't take the "swipe is stupid" advice.
30 washes per day isn't bad. Means it's obviously doing a good job. I have heard great things about XP & Typhoon. Only used each 1x. Was very impressed.
However, I have no clue about the longevity. Sorry...
Dan Kam is correct. When I started , I was so tight & cash strapped I couldn't make any money.
After learning the hard way for a couple yrs, I now realize.... u gotta spend $$ to make 💰💰.
Buy an iBA that is a lil nicer than you can afford. Get ALL the bells & whistles & add an LED light show...
Danny,
I'd rather everyone think I've always been a carwash guru. Ha.
But dang, you're right. Those first couple yrs I got taken to the cleaners, hoodwinked, bamboozled! You, & a few others, tried to gimme advice, but all I could do was poor pitiful me.
Dang dude. 7500 & ZERO competition doesn't sound believable.
I'd get an Oasis Typhoon, Petit or Wash World Double Barrel & add all bells & whistles + as nice an LED light show as you can! As good as you're gonna do, you need to buy top of the line. Not a dang bottom basement XR7. Restaurants...
We switched to McClean, & their PreSoaks work like a son0fAgun! Best PreSoaks I've ever used.! Their other stuff is good to, but PS is stupid good.
To me, Simoniz PS is below avg. A few guys on here like it. Some of Simoniz is good, though.
Rfreedman knows his stuff. He doesn't buy washes, he steals them! LOL
Id be scared to death of spending $900k & no financials. But heck, I spent $700k on a wash that was closed down for 12 years... so I guess I'm lyin. :unsure::oops:
Mine has slowly,but surely, gotten busier. You will need a...
My WSll worked great. Then my CC reader went out, & replaced w/ Tap & Swipe (2.5 wks ago).
Worled great 2 weeks. Then stopped registering transactions Tue. Turned off power to WSll & Cryptopay. Then started back up.
Now it went down again Wed morning. Turning off power didn't work this time...
