I have customers dumping trash on the ground with 2 trash cans per vac Island, and the trash cans literally a car width or less from them. Really don't want to know how much trash would be on the ground if we reduced the number of cans and made them walk to throw away trash.

Walkaway token profit sounds good in theory, but if you factor in loss of business due to token dispensing only, I would guess most are losing more business than the walkaway profit. This has been our experience, given our sample size is very low, only 2 locations we have tried tokens. I would...

Accepting Credit cards are the single biggest revenue increase you can do on a SS wash. Start dispensing $1 coins and accepting quarters and $1 coins, will quickly alleviate your coin box space issue. Customers are more willing to get $1 coins that can be spent anywhere over $1 tokens. We've...

The difference is not having to work 365 and the wash ruling your life

It takes a lot of chemical to make a lava wall look right, and still it is a very delicate and tedious process to adjust just right. Many operators are moving to rain bars instead of lava wall for this reason. Less chemicals usage, better look consistently, and some say a better clean

What you are describing is a job, not a business

Probably having junk in your solenoid that needs cleaned out. Solenoid staying open for some reason

It's on tik tok, must be 100% true!

Pretty sure the Nayax kit from @CWS will allow you to keep your display. Contact Steve at Car Wash Services out of TN for more information.

I'm guessing somewhere around Plano based on previous comment by Coach.

Did you get your microcoin wired in and working?

IMO, Microcoins are the way to go. They are the best. We tried out slugbuster, they are way more finicky than microcoin. Slugbuster uses a sample size of 1 coin to compare, microcoin uses at least 10 as the sample size and more if you want, which all but alleviates small discrepancies in coins...

Have you considered something like a Mark VII choice wash or similar - there are a few manufacturers that make similar? Would give the customer option between touch less and friction. But, as I said in my previous post - you really need to see if the numbers will work and pencil out with wash...

I think it would be much higher per car basis than $1 at the cost of machines/install nowadays. At a $1 per wash, it would be 200-250k washes without any repairs or maintenance. It is really hard to justify a site to spend that much $ on a brand new machine, unless wash volume is almost...

If the whole property is leased to someone else already, you would need to get a sublease from them - adding more complexity and risk for yourself

All great advice from pros here, I prefer nayax over crypto pay due to being more modern, both are good systems though

How many of these are due to neglect, pocketing cash and bad record keeping, or land values exceeding wash value? Probably a lot of them if I have to guess

Is this part of a gas station? That would add a wrench in the works too. While I’m also mainly in car washes for real estate, a lease would make sense if you can make the numbers pencil it. Lots of business are built and successful in leased space. Car washes just take a specialty building, so...

Yes those are what we use. Don’t know about repair, never had one go bad. But I would replace with new if it did go bad, long life units

Do yourself a favor and replace with microcoin as they die. They are the best, and such an important part of your wash
