What types of problems are they having?

Although peeing is more common I think we also need a sign with someone depositing a butt nugget.

Touchless can be great if you have mostly tunnel or other friction competition but you need to be very critical of water quality and chemical selection and concentration. Friction turns out a cleaner car at usually lower cost but with greater damage risk.

This could backfire and some wackos might be encouraged!

You might consider spending a few hundred bucks to get a car wash tech or Istobal distributor out to assess its condition.

Is it broken? What is your market like in regards to touchless vs friction? Are there tunnels nearby?

Three phase motors cost less to run. Do you have three phase available?

Yes

How long have these places been shut down? Also you should have some thinking time on why they shut down in the first place.

Every area is different so I can't comment on the $400K for each location but $200K will barely buy one auto these days let alone SS equipment and vacs.

Half of a percent more or less depending on how they are run. You might consider scrapping the 20 YO Autec but the 8 YO one might be savable. They are a lot of maintenance but are made of stainless. Hopefully you can get these for stupid cheap as resurrecting a closed down wash can be more...

There is already CC acceptance but agree there may be more ways to grow revenue.

At least stainless is more noble than brass. (the easily replaceable part)

Another thought, could someone like RDM Electronics be able repair the board?

What size hole is in it? This happens a lot with switching out to a different changer model. You can get a brick mason to make the hole larger or smaller, have a steel plate made to reduce it or possibly cover it up with a surface mount model.

I agree with IB on this one. Based on what has been given to us I say $300K-$450K. Do the math on the return and it won't look very good at $600K I bet. Let us assume a net of $45K before labor if you do everything yourself which sounds like what he was doing. If you put labor costs into it I'm...

How long can you record continuously at the highest resolution on that 8TB drive? I'm assuming you are using all 32 cameras and didn't upgrade to a larger drive setup.

The valve is between 6 years old (when we bought the wash) and 20 years old. (wash was built) 🤷‍♂️

@2Biz It looks like we have a 7" diameter float ball and maybe a 3 1/2" or 4" long arm.

Can the manufacturer tell you the lengths of them so you don't have to remove and measure? If armed with that info you can get a full set made.
