Yep! Did a 50/50 split with a company, then ended up buying my own.

I charge $1.50/cycle. Can't remember how many minutes, but probably 4.
75 cents.

Nope. Here in Australia, I can't remember ever seeing compressed air at a carwash. Just about every petrol station has it for free.

I sell air. I put the machine on the corner of the building closest to the egress, so it gets alot of use.
I know Baltimore City forbids selling air. I'm glad the car wash we have it at is not located there, although as bad as Baltimore is, free air is the least of my worries with regard to the city.

I ran an airline with a solenoid valve to one of vacs. A toggle switch allows customers to switch back and forth vac or air. It uses same timer as vac…only one function at a time. $2/6min. Pretty cheap to set up and very profitable

That is strange. What is the reasoning behind that?

crazy! Though like Baltimore doesn’t charge for water….just the filtration delivery etc, I don’t charge for air….just the compression and delivery to the air chuck…..so that customers can fill tires.…..
plus….push comes to shove…i‘d drop my toggle switch and offer “free” air with vac use.
I'm not sure. I guess someone up in government didn't want to pay for air.
