Bay tour: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaPni54XzLc
Here is a rough tour of our new self service wash location in Vestal, NY. We also have a 3 bay dog wash and a 150' tunnel. We built the coin box ourselves, based on Gary Baright's original idea, put in four Mosmatic Z booms, based on Gary Baright's idea,.... come to think of it there are quite a few "Gary Baright" ideas here. These bays face north so we installed an AirLift door at the entrance of each bay. The customer can put them down so their experience is more comfortable. The door automatically raises when they're done. We put three 10hp AVW dryers in the bays too. If the customer spends more than $5 the "Blower" button starts flashing. When they are ready to leave they can push the button and they have 90 seconds to drive out. Works pretty good. It also helps promote waxing or it works pretty crappy. We have signage for that. We swapped the two end ones to put the nozzles more in the middle compared to the YouTube video below. Pressure boosts button on the video changes the pressure from 1000 to 1400psi immediately which guys love. We don't have hand held dryers we have a compressed air nozzle for blowing out cup holders, vents, mirrors, etc. Functions on the dial: Stop, Salt Off Presoak, Wheel Scrubbing Brush, Engine Degreaser, Presoak, High Pressure Soap, Foam Brush, Rinse, Spray Wax, Triple Wax, Spot Free Rinse, and Compressed Air. We are using Dixmor's LED9 Multi-Function timer and we have 4 different price points. Spend more time, save more money. We are using Micrologic's self service credit system so we can sell gift cards (in the tunnel cashiers or the gift card dispenser) that work in the tunnel's cashiers, the self service bays, the dog wash, and the self service vacuum cleaners. They are the only POS company that can say "YES" to any car wash operator by the way. One last "Gary Baright" idea are the LED lights in the bays. They are water proof and very bright. They use about 6 watts per foot and should last between 5 and 10 years. They are launching at www.gangled.com soon.
