Would you rather own a express/full service or a 4+2?

Here is something to consider. Most exterior express car washes have to give away free vacuums as a cost of doing business. They have to burry the cost of the vacuums in the wash as a cost of doing business.

These type of vacuums are integrated into the electrical system of the car wash with no way to write off the electrical usage off every Quarter. They they have no way of tracking the usage.

However, what if there was a way to track it ? What if self service and in bay automatics had a way to fight back against free vacuums? What if there was a way to track the usage of free vacuums in order to be able to write off the usage every Quarter. This would give all of the self service and in bay automatics a way to fight back against free vacuums.

It's called vacuum on demand. And you will be able to give away free vacuums away on the purchase of every wash anywhere and any time.

This could also be used for exterior washes as well to give the owners a way to write off the electrical usage as well every quarter.

This would definitely help level the playing across the industry. It's definitely a concept worth looking into.

I’ve seen free vacs that require a push button to start. Very easy to count each “push start” and arrive at a total minutes of runtime.
 
Yes it sort of work that way but different the vacuum stays on as long as the car is in the bay and only the free vacuums are counted.

The car that is buying the vacuum vs free vacuums are integrated into one system they are not separate vacuums
 
Vacuum on demand utilizes the same vacuum it's just an upgrade to the regular pay vacuums that you already have. The vacuum can be for purchase or free with the purchase of the wash.

The push button vacuum that wash for free is a dedicated time and the customer will have to stop and push the button for more time.

However, Vacuum on demand is a count up feature and controlled by how long the car remains in the bay. The vacuum has a wake mode and becomes hot after the vacuum senses the presence of the car.

The vacuum will remain in until the car leaves, and then resets for the next car for purchase or for free.

So what are you selling?
 
I am not selling this system. The vacuum on demand system was a working concept born out of nessasity. It's way for self service and in bay automatics to fight back against giving free vacuums away with every wash, and to write off the electrical usage every quarter.
