I think that if the wash is over too quickly customers will gripe. At my high prices for my IBA the customers already think I'm a greedy SOB. I can't imagine a faster process than my Razor wash going over too well with the customers. I already had to add a rinse pass back in that I had...

A logical first step that I always recommend to people asking the same question is to get a part-time job at a car wash and see how you like it. As an attendant you can get some very good experience with customers, clean up, maintenance items etc. You'll get an idea of how much attention a car...

i've had some very good results from a rented electronic LED sign. The rate is affordable for one month and it would really help in my opinion. It's programmable and you can put just about anything you want on both sides. You tell the rental company what you want ahead of time and they program...

Ryan from Snack Attack recommends a Conlux coin mech, due to the poor reliability of the Mei unit. Too many errors according to him. He said conlux is a direct fit and costs $175. His opinion is Conlux is the best in the business.

Thank you very much. I emailed Snack Attack. I may need a new CF 7000 MEI coin mech, too.

This Bought it from Autowash Maintenance Awesome

I used 3/10 of 1% for my projections 20 years ago. I have one WW Razor and 2 SS bays. I serve about 20,000 with 2 competing iba's and 2 competing ss bays. That projection was a little high for me. DTC x .003, but my wash is on a B- location; 40 mph where customers go 50+ . Location and egress...

The display on my AMS sensit 2 is very dim and I would like to remedy that. In your experience should I replace the entire display with a new one as well as the lens that covers it or do you think just the lens would be adequate? Thank you.

I think more than trying to save money, they are not fixing an electrical problem that occurred when they lost power a few weeks ago. It happened to me at the car wash too; probably the same power outage. I had a couple of breakers I had to reset on my touch free to get it to pump soap and...

I went to tractor supply to buy a half inch nonworking male by female swivel. I was already frustrated because I sent an employee there to get it and despite being helped by store personnel he came back empty-handed. I knew they had it so I went myself. I went back to the section where the...

i doubt dryer motors are proprietary. open up the unit and take a few pictures. look in kleen rite or autowash online for a replacement.

I use a mix of Simoniz correct powder with Simoniz foam additive and hot water. There are several threads on this already and it shouldn't be tough to find them. I use this mix as my high-pressure soap and my foam brush in the warm months. In the winter months I switch to antifreeze foam brush...

first off let me say that I have run both a full service detailing shop where I hand washed cars and a self-serve car wash where the customer does it themselves and I much prefer the car wash model that is more typical where customers pay , spray then go away. Secondly, what you're describing...

One rule of thumb is 3 to 5 times gross revenue equals sales price. This is just a rough range to begin with. So it looks like your sale price is high based on that. The other thing is that you have zero experience which is going to make it difficult to run the business not to mention get a...

in my mind tokens are just a way to keep people from breaking into the vaults, coming for change without spending any money at your wash and the slight benefit of walk offs. I suppose there is some potential marketing benefit if you have a custom token like I do that says your wash name etc. But...

I manually drain my compressor 6 days/ week through the ball valve at the bottom of the tank and also through the ARO water separator on the main air outlet. I have replaced maybe one flojet in almost 20 years.

Usually bearings aren't proprietary in my experience. You have to take it apart anyway, so when you remove the old bearing, get the part number off the bearing and type it into Google. I bet you'll find it!

I would also suggest getting a part-time job at this car wash that you're describing. That way you can get an insider's view of the daily operations. A lot of times a business looks very different on the outside from what it actually is to operate daily. this is how you can get to know the car...
