FWIW; i like raising the start up price on the vacs and giving more time rather than same price and lowering time. i think the customers don't mind paying the $2 start when they realize that for the extra cost, they in turn get ample time to vac the vehicle without being in a mad scramble to...

ps; if i re vamped my touch free bay with new equipment i would add a wash in the $17 range that featured: more soap passes than are reasonable, and more polish and wax than was ever thought of prior as sort of an over-the top, ultimate chemical dumping extravaganza! I'm talking multiple...

my deluxe wash is $12 and has: underbody flush, 2 pass hot presoak. HP rinse. Foam Polish, HP Rinse, HP WAX, spot free rinse & blow dry. 3/4 + of IBA customers get the deluxe wash. also included at this car wash: self prep bucket for IBA, free towel dry station. more bang for customer's buck...

I've had a few I have told to leave the wash and not come back. A few others I've told they can only use the wash if they follow this rule: " wash, pay, then go away ". Anyone who is disrespectful to me, and employee, another customer or even the equipment is not welcome. It's not personal...

looks like alot of work for $30- $100!

You could start with 3-4 X gross sales and work from there maybe. In the end it's worth what someone will pay for it today. One friend of mine who is looking to sell mentioned meeting with his accountant to talk sales strategy. What you want to present to a buyer in my way of thinking is...

sounds like a bad cable / cable end / connection or relay. is there an input / output card you can observe when the error occurs? if so, you need to see if there is an input occurring when it shouldn't or not occurring when it should. every time i have had a similar problem, it's been a prox...

just paid $41 in MA 2 days ago. Volvo XC90, oil and filter.

I like a $3 start because it raises the price for those who just want to spend 1 cycle worth of money. You could raise the startup price and slightly lower time per coin and have the best of both worlds. BTW; I can't believe you have been at $2 for 16 years and you are fretting about raising...

I've been bashed online before. It hasn't seemed to affect my business. Most people reading a negative post will consider the source. Some people go through life looking to blame others for all bad things that happen to them, whether or not they themselves were at fault.

Just replace the whole swivel, esp. if you have a spare. Can't be that bad a job. Shut the wash down and take your time. I find it relaxing now to do a project like this. In the scope of my business life, replacing car wash parts and doing mechanical repairs is a nice break for me. Then when...

I was $1 for 4 min ( IVS 2 motor vacs). Switched to $2 start; 6.25 minutes. One complaint in 2 months. Couldn't be happier. I think we as operators fret way too much about raising prices. I explain to customers they get more time so they don't have to rush around vacuuming like a demon on...

I set myself apart by offering ample amounts of product and keeping functions working properly at all times. also by offering a towel dry station for customers to d.i.y. dry and detail. i offer a good vending selection. i try to add new services as time and money permit; 2 more vacs and a tire...

i have the ams visi combo from shurvend. mine is in a security cage. it has a mars bill acceptor and i do take credit cards but charge an extra 10 cents per transaction. nice machine. good value. good service from uncle sam.

try a bigger sampling of cars thru the wash before you go making changes. does something in your r.o. need replacing, like the filter membrane? maybe drain your reject tank down and clean it out real good and start over. you could install a filter for reject. you could reduce the amount of...
