I agree with all said. I built the last self serve in my town 16 years ago. Over 1 million invested then probably close to 2 million now to build so numbers don't add up. Express just built 1 mile away at 6 million. No way it will ever break even. Self Service requires owner hands on to survive...

Land that has been used for years by them can actually become joint property through. "Prescriptive Easement" get your lawyer involved

My power is delivered by our city. They own the utility and supply 208 to most businesses. One thing to look at is any small transformer within your wash that supplies power to solenoids, coin techs etc. Most transformers are setup to convert 240 to 24 volt but if supplied with 208 you get...

I just keep spare hoses that I get from Kleenrite. To make sure I only have to stock one length of hose is that I use a short whip hose from the boom down of varying lengths so the one long one that runs to the gun is always the same length.

I ordered a 5 megapixel, 8 dome camera, 16 channel, 2 TB system from Supercircuits for $540 with free shipping. I can add more cameras later if needed.

Turret/dome type are the best way to go so the crooks can't readjust them with poles.

Liftmaster door openers are good. Just use a single pulse relay as mentioned. They probably cost a third the price of other car wash door openers from my experience.

The round plastic nozzles have them molded in to the ends. When they get wore down I just use a pocket knife to notch them again.

The expensive metal vac claws have the holes drilled like this.

Ryko sends a 4 second signal which is also too long.
