Combo Vacs, Shurvend, or stand alone air shammee?

Looking at investing some extra money in my wash. I already have CC, Tri foam, and Bills in bays. Should I go with Combo Vacs, Shurvend, or stand alone air shammees?
Thanks for your help,

Don't do the stand-alone air dryer. I have two at one wash in a covered vac area. On a good week they will take in 10 bucks combined. I put some in the bays at another wash and they get used quite frequently. I will eventually move the stand-alones to the bays when I get the time.
 
Go for the ShurVend. People buy what they can see. Also, customer like to have choices, even though they buy from a small group of items. Purely psychological.
 
I am a big van of Combo vacs. The last 2 I bought, I got the bill acceptor upgrades. Was worried they would not be worth the $900.00 upgrade cost. Each vac averages $150.00 per month in Bills plus quarters. Not sure if it increased overall sales, but I think it wa worth it. Luv to see $5.00 bills after years of quarters only.
 
I would do all three, but not the stand alone air shammie....put it in some of the bays.

I actually use the Blasto Dry and they are great.
My combo vacs do great as well
Put some double dullars on your existing vacs with a crevice tool.
 
I have done all three and would do the combo vacs first, then the vendor and finally the air shammee (in bay). Margins are obviously highest on the inbay air-shammee (as it's just air), then the shampoo's and finally the Vendor (I mark things up 100%).
