self serve

For those of you that converted a cash only self serve to a cash AND credit card operation, what kind of sales increase did you see? What %?

Hello everyone! I am under contract for a wash in the south east. Great location on a 4 lane Highway. Traffic count 25k. 6 bay SS set up for now. Any one have any insight on monthly gross per bay? Distributor is telling me $500 to be conservative- but this seems low. Best Zach

Thinking about buying a SS car wash with 3 self-bays and one automatic bay. Also has RV washer on the outside (setup but no payment terminal or hosing), but I don't plan on utilizing that. Summary: Listed for 200k, can get it down to 150k. Selling because he is old. 11,000 cars pass on the...

Hey all! I took over a renovated 6 bay SS last December so I’m pretty new to the biz but learning how to fix new things every day.

I’ve got a signature series by Ryko, I’ve got an issue with my motors I believe. I can run the self serve like normal using the high pressure rinse, or spotless. Not all the time, but occasionally, all the motors will stop. Timer will still be active, can still use everything else but anything...

There is a car wash in Galion Ohio I'm looking at buying. It has 6 bays 1 is an automatic wash with a mark Vii that has been broken...

We are running 1400psi out of our Hot Rinse but we are finding that our hoses are wearing out and fraying where they come into contact with the cement floor. Product suggestions on better quality single-ply high pressure hoses and/or sleeves to put over top of them to prevent them from wearing...
