The thing is....and I own both...you are not going to be able to get a car as clean as a properly set up tunnel with a touchless. Just aint happening. Many of these tunnels are running 3 set of miters and 2 top brushes with buffers. Prepping, etc. Unless they are completely negligent i their...

I would guess most of those operators both individual and fleet are using mobile truck washing companies

Yeah, I would almost bet that your landlord knew exactly that thing was coming to town. With that said, let me forewarn you - expect to lose 10 to 50% of your business. if it was my place, I would : 1. Make the outside look impeccable. Fresh paint/decal/signage/everything looking new. 2. Go...

You use Graphene as your drying agent on all washes or do you upsell Graphene as an add-on?

I love the look of the arched vacs with the dual tips 9 Claw & Crevice ) as well as the overall appearance of the arch. Some have mat holders , towel bins, trash and compressed air. I'd love to install at my IBA site but my issue is I have a TON of RV's and trailers that use my SS bays and...

Are there fast food national brands there? Big Box? If so, it won't be if but when.

That press and hold was a PITA in the beginning for me. I made a ton of new signage and my customers seem to have gotten it .

THIS Truck washing is a thing and it's usually pros with way better equipment than you'd have washing trucks and fleets of trucks on site. You're usually talking 30-50hp trailers with 10gpm pumps with a boiler putting out 200* water. They're also likely using hydroflouric acid in mass quantities.

Dual pump machine with Dencar and dryers installed you're looking at $375-400K No way you're getting the dual pump machine for $200k

Agreed. I'll also add that assumption is the mother of all fck ups. Having a 3 bay Petit is the ultimate anti EE tunnel solution. You might night compete toe to toe with one being built nearby but you will thrive better than you would with a friction machine or other touchless machines. I'd...

It’s possible. I would calculate your labor cost and maybe cautiously figure that you’re gonna drop another 25% on your gross. Calculate from there and see if it meets your ROI

That seems like an awesome deal on a 3 Bay Petit! Maybe I missed it but has any new competition came to town? Not sure what else could cause such a precipitous decline in gross besides competition or perhaps mismanagement. I have a dual bay that does well. I run mine as absentee as possible...

Just curious....are you using a gross multiplier to arrive at a sales price and if so and you dont mind me asking what is that multiplier?

I don't get it either

How much more can you come up with for a down payment? I might know a few

I turned off the loop in my trough and put a heat cable in myself. I believe it's a self regulating one which seems to be working great. I found that to keep that trough from freezing. I had to keep my floor heat higher than I needed to to keep the temperature in the trough high enough.

Do these connect to Fragramatics vacs easily?

Everything is sadly made in China these days.

Same here. I believe I was the first to buy them outside of the owners themselves using them at their own sites. I bought 4 of them and took a big risk but since then I've been 100% satisfied with the product. My customers love them! They're very easy to use and intuitive. Never really pushed...

I just did a site upgrade at one of my places and have four complete panels. Perhaps one timer is not fully working but I have three timers that do +2 or so spare ones. I’d like to sell them all though.
