    Price Increase

    I think with a higher low end you'd have a higher % of 18,22. You have to make the upgrade cost between packages more reasonable for the customer. Are they really supposed to believe that an extra pass or 2 of water, soap or protectant is worth $12??? Too big an ask IMO.

    Price Increase

    I think you have too much spread between $10 and $22. If you go higher at the bottom end it pushes customer to the top rather than the bottom end of your pricing structure. My spread is 16,18,20,22

    water distiller

    I got tired of buying distilled water for my detail shop steamers, so I did some research and bought a water distiller for $105 on Amazon. No more trips to Walmart for jugs of water. No more plastic jugs. Unit makes a gallon in 4 hrs so I will set it to make water after hours.

    Home -use solutions

    Yes but the problem is that most municipalities will not fine or even approach homeowners. They will, however, respond to complaints if someone reports a business in violation of the Federal Clean Waters Act of 1972. Where it gets interesting to me is when the local Fire Departments wash their...

    Fixing

    for me it's a good mix of improvements, repairs, and maintenance to keep things in good working order. I'm very thankful that I don't have all the tinkering and troubleshooting that was involved with my original automatic wash. With my new razor, I welcome The lighter repair schedule and have...

    intermittent wash stopping

    Is the fault at the same pass within the wash process every time it faults ( hi pressure, scrub, low pressure, etc) ? If so, determine what inputs are lit normally during that step in the wash cycle. Observe the wash and see which inputs are not lit that should be lit and go from there. I...

    Mark VII Failure Issue: Normal or vandalized?

    I would say they are unused wires due to the way they are twisted together. Plus some of the ends are not stripped back to expose any wire beyond the sheathing. I think you need to start with the error codes and work from there and/or watch it wash a car and see what is actually happening and...

    Which plastic letters for building façade?

    I would like to get some plastic 3-D letters for the front of my car wash building. The choices are staggering. Can anyone help me narrow down the selection to a few that you like and have used at your own place? Thanks in advance.

    Hand Car Wash Business

    you forgot the hose! Although I did see a guy on Thanksgiving washing his entire car with the windshield squeegee at a gas station. True story!

    Where are you and what are your prices?

    I have had count up for years and very few issues. I did have a customer from Canada the other day who swiped his card and sat there waiting to wash until the timer reached five dollars. He was very confused and told me that whoever designed the system should make the increments $.10 instead of...

    Where are you and what are your prices?

    Customers are already putting in the $20 bill anyway so the psychology of your price is not going to change much in my opinion. It's even less of a difference to the customer when they pay with credit.

    Best New Touchless System

    I can only speak for the razor because that's what I purchased from Autowash Maintenance three years ago. I really couldn't be much happier. In all that time I've had exactly one issue with photo eyes and I really don't think it was an equipment problem I think it had to do with solar glare...

    Looking for advice to replace rocker blasters

    The proof for me is comparing the wash quality to my old machine that did not have side blasters. The cars now come out much much cleaner overall but it is most noticeable to me on the sides.

    Looking for advice to replace rocker blasters

    that's what I used to think too but I found this to be false. My new touch free razor has an underbody pipe that sprays straight up under the car. At each end of the pipe there is another manifold with a few nozzles that spray up at the rocker panel area and the side of the vehicle. I have found...

    SS PM List

    Change the oil and the air filter in your air compressor once a year. One pump of grease on each motor fitting once a year. Clean out your filter screens for chemicals and the tanks if you have them every six months.

    Where are you and what are your prices?

    I think that generally speaking car wash prices are too low. I see a lot of that evidenced here in this survey. My car wash is in a middle to lower income region of Massachusetts. I also offer car detailing. We have gone up considerably on our prices in the last 7 to 10 years. I realized I was...
