Hello everyone, I hope this message finds you well. I am currently in the process of planning for a 4 bay with automatics, and I have a question regarding the placement of the equipment room. Does the location of the equipment room matter when planning for a 4 bay with automatics? For...

To avoid the stacking problem we are going to put 4 automatics. It will increase the upfront investment but also increases the throughput and avoid some stacking problems. I think it is better to have them enter from the back and exit traffic to the street. This will help as well.

I like this idea, need to take the measurements of this vacant IBA bay and see if this can be re-purposed.

Thanks for the insight. Currently not much is generated out of this IBA bays. In fact only one out of the two is barely functioning.

I have an existing relationship with this bank. We have given them the presentation and they reacted positively and currently under the approval process. Fingers crossed, hop everything works as planned.

Thanks everyone for your feedback. The reason the carwash is being sold is because the owner is getting older and he is ready to cash out. He has bought the property almost 20 years back and the property has nicely appreciated since then. I see this as a good opportunity because of three...
