    Monthly fee for unlimited washes - is it worth it?

    I think it depends a lot on your market and your population and your price structure. I would not do it because my population does not warrant it and because I would be rewarding my best customers by giving them a large discount.

    I do a touchless wash on my own car in the self service bay quite frequently. My car stays fairly clean, so when I'm done with soap wax and rinse I towel it off and it looks great.
