I've been thinking about the same. 12 year old Radius and just had a $7,000 bill to fix after being down for like 10 days, and then 2 subsequent issues each shutting it down for a day . My issue is I tell myself "The biggest things have been replaced, I should be good for a while". I've...

I've had some myself. Bastards. Dries nicely to everything when it's 90 degrees and 10% humidity. I never thought about the possibility of it being illegal and that it could be lead paint and that's why they are at your place...

I've thought about it in the past but not sure how good the take would be given I have a complimentary towel station. Maybe I can eliminate the work of the towels and increase revenue at the same time?

$4800 installed or did you do the work?

If they pay by CC I usually hit it with a clean up fee ( same as our pre-auth).

I just put SImplisafe in after doing a bit of research. I am 100% satisfied with the product. Very east to install.

I like their LCD Baystation panels for the bays.

They are pretty much the only company that is developing stuff for the self service market that I'm aware of. I've always been pretty satisfied with the level of support I've received when needed. With that said, I'm not ecstatic about the fees.

I built my own system. Cost me about $6,000 doing it myself. I have quotes from $10,000+. I wanted to have the ability to pull a plate at any time of the day/night and pretty much anywhere on my premises. This is a VERY capable system and would be the least I'd even consider concerning a...

What would you say the "take" rate is on the bonus time, and would you say it increases the average spend per customer?

I'd start at your regional car wash association and talk to fellow operators. There's a few members here from New England you could call on. Good luck

Get the local chamber of commerce involved and all other business owners in the county. I'd be nervous about poking the proverbial lion tho.

I'm about 80%.

I’ve owned 4 other types of business and trust me, they all tire you of the petty bullshite eventually

My biggest challenge when I use my ring o magic is the water on top of the settled &compacted dirt mixing as I dig and making watery mud. I usually wait till the dirt is very close to the drain so as not to have a lot of water. Do you do anything to reduce the standing water? Close bay down...

Precisely. Not sure about most, but speaking for myself, eating ( quality food not FF ) brings me a certain type of satisfaction that car washing can't. :D

I went to their seminar at the show. They basically compared their model to fast food. FF is built on top of each other and they all thrive. I honestly think there are fundamental differences between different FF chains and car washes, but I'm no specialist. I just think that eating vs...

I tried the totally awesome a while back and it's hard to see any difference in cleaning when you introduce a prep brush to the equation. I just went back to the pre soak I use in my SS bays as I have a filling hose / ball valve on the bottom of my mixing tank which makes it much easier to fill...

Yelp is an absolute waste.

I have WM. I have in writing I'm permitted to dispose of the dried mud in the container. Thant's probably about the best you're going to get from a reputable hauler who stays within the legal confines.
