    Fence in self serve carwash

    Hello SS Owners, I found this old thread. I am thinking to fence off my SS wash with an automatic gate that will open at 6:00a and close at 10:30p. It will have a sensor to let customers leave that are still washing after 10:30p. I am wondering if some has done this and how is the experience...

    What would you do?

    Thank you all again for your great insights. I have decided to keep current setting. I wil continue to focus on up-kipping and all equipment running. I am also taking Greg’s advice seriously to pay off my mortgage early instead of investing on an IBA.

    Fence in self serve carwash

    I am also thinking about fencing and add gate that will be closed at 10p and open at 6a. I can put an automatic gate that will close and open by itself using pre-set timer, right? Does anyone have good understanding about % of revenue loss during closed period (10p-6a)?

    Does adding additional bays make sense?

    I have thought about adding an automatic. However, there is a new express wash started last year only a block away and another established one little over a mile from my wash. My daily traffic is 32000 @40 speed limit with a center lane. One Mile demographic is 17k and 3 Mille 110k. Med HH...

    Does adding additional bays make sense?

    THANK YOU again. I have decided to raise prices first and wait 4-6 weeks to assess demand (after raising prices) and if demand still holds, I will add 3 more bays.

    Does adding additional bays make sense?

    Thank you all For great comments. Thought about adding an IBA but I do not have staging area. My ER has enough room for additional SS equipment. Great idea about tweaking with pricing. Again, is it your experience that some customers return at a later time?
