    Petit 360 worth the extra money????

    I don't know about the double barrel but my WashWorld razor is a year old and I couldn't be much happier with it. It washes consistently and very well. The cars come out super clean and shiny and dry. The machine is fast with a five minute wash time for the top package. I'm premium priced at...

    Crypto Pay Tap users

    My friend and I installed Tap on my Hamilton Goldline as part of my IBA upgrade/remodel. It works great! Customers seem to be finding it on the cashier, albeit slowly. I find myself showing customers and explaining it a little after they have trouble with the swipe method. FWIW, customers...

    Blower to move heat from ER to IBA bay

    You could cut a hole in the wall and put a galvanized pipe through with a fan like this. You could put the pipe through the wall and then 90° elbow to a downward pipe with another 90 at the bottom of the water would never make it back into the equipment room

    Good Deal on SS Wash?

    You have to look at the tax returns of the business and work from there. Not an internally created document like a P&L or balance sheet. Federal income tax returns.

    Question: How have self serve customers changed over the years?

    i've been in the car wash business about 18 years now. It does seem like the trash dumping is getting worse and people making messes in the bays is getting worse, but that could also be due to an increase in business and the popularity of my wash; I don't really know. Because we operate a...

    Washworld Double Barrel vs. Razor

    for what it's worth, I couldn't be much happier with the standard razor. It gets the car very very clean and does so in about 5 1/2 minutes. In my first year of operating the razor, I've already surpassed my old CPY average that was established over seven teen years in business. I had one...

    Is this too personal…?

    my sales are way up because it was my first year with my new razor. I also just went from a three dollar to a five dollar start at the very end of last year in my two self-service bays,

    Make any NY resolutions?

    Yes it's pretty tempting to eat whatever and how much I want when only eating one meal a day. However I'm trying to keep the meal balanced with plenty of vegetables. I was joking the other day that if I'm going to reach my goals somebody might want to give the ice cream man the memo!

    Make any NY resolutions?

    I'm tightening a few things up for 2023. Now that my growth phase is complete for now, I'm working to improve my bookkeeping for my businesses. I say this every year, so we'll see. I'm eating one meal a day with a goal of being 170lbs with a 33" waist. I'm 182 with a 34" waist, so pretty...

    Floor Heat boiler puked...replacement options?

    I know with my RayPak boilers, every part is replaceable. My burner tray was replaced on my floor heat boiler, as was the gas valve. I think a relay or 2 was also replaced. The heat exchanger was cleaned and it works like new. The point is that I came to realize, with the help of friends who...

    Wash Bay pricing

    I switched my 2 SS bays to $5 start, $1/minute last weekend. No notice, no new signs except new decals saying $5 to start. Slight pushback here and there in the form of " do I have to pay another $5 ( once time runs out)??" ....Yes, unless you deposit more coins when last coin alarm beeper...

    Weather

    in New England, I saw some things I've never seen before in about 20 years of operating. Things like the push buttons on the auto cashier being frozen. They would push in but then they would stay in and display would say please release button!

    Token Questions

    I guess that's one way to look at it. For me, I see a person spending a free token as an opportunity to sell them more of everything; tokens, may be a deluxe automatic wash, something from the vending machine like a soda, a detail job or even a used car. The token they found with my name on it...

    Token Questions

    I dispense inch and an eighth tokens. I accept quarters, tokens, and credit cards. I have custom tokens with my name and logo which is a nice way to advertise.

    Coin operated air machine

    That sounds like a lot of work for something that's not going to make a whole lot of money. I bought my air machine used for 40 bucks and Paid my electrician to wire it and mount it on the wall. Done.
