Did you add a touchless to your 7 bay SS during your improvements?

Agreed, I talked to a single site owner that was killing it. He said at first he took a hit. He said he even went there to get a free wash but eventually leveled back out

You chose not to share what? A percentage? Why?

I’ve talked w 2 different multi-site owners and their advice was the same when I asked them. They said don’t try to compete w a tunnel, that’s not who you are. Offer what you offer and like mentioned previously , update , make things look new and keep your name out there. One of this guys...

At both my locations I have 2 different guys come in w a small backhoe , I back my dump trailer up and and have a place to dump it. If I didn’t I’d find a place. They only charge me $75 an hour and I usually pay $100 to $150. One location is 5 bays and another has 6. I’d look into...

You’re right about the express tunnels and I’m sure it’s been done but I personally haven’t seen an IBA open near a tunnel, only vice versa in my area. . Like I said there is definitely a market for a touchless and if I were to proceed I would seriously consider the touchless route. My main...

How close is the 75 ft tunnel. You will have a hard time dragging away business from them especially since it sounds like they are established. You’re looking at putting in a friction wash right so you won’t differentiate yourself in any way except giving less for more. There is a market...

You mean that doesn’t sound like a good plan? 😬

I would think he’s saying DO NOT do this and invest that kind of money unless you have a long term lease.

Thank you for the heads up !!

There are sites to sell used equipment, eBay , carwash consignment and here Does the gas station you are putting the machine have much business? Is the wash that’s in there currently running ? When it was how many cars a day was it washing? Is there another wash near where you want to put the...

I’m hoping that’s the case. I like the idea.

It came from etowah. Thanks!! Just rolled up here and about to start messing w it

Wow I sincerely appreciate this picture!!! The small guides up front are really annoying. Did you run the parking bumpers all the way to the exit or keep it 1/4 of the way down like the entrance? Never any issues? I was really skeptical w these machines but right now I couldn’t be...

My triple foam option intermittently in bay 3 stays energized and running “all 3 colors and air” after selecting another option. I was hoping it’s just trash but with everything running like this I’m guessing it’s something electrical. Could it be the rotary switch or am I looking at a...

Hey I have a friend who installs washworld and reps for them. . I just asked if he’d be interested and told him what you got quoted. PM me if you want his contact info

That’s up for debate because it looks like you are only accessible by a flight. Agreed $50k is high. But then again you might be in more than that if your guys get “stuck”.

I currently have 2 machines at one of my sites that are on tracks. It’s my only complaint about these machines. Lack of floor space. I vote for wall mount 😬

I 100 percent agree w Roz. You need someone who has put there hands on the machine. It seems like always some hang up or tricks that these guys know.

This is a Mark Vii Combo Wash. One Soft Wash on site and this unit. The machines have been great and clean extremely well. Had a veteran tunnel operator come by and told me it washed as good as his site which was nice feedback. Biggest drawback for me is I don’t like guide rails. I like...
