My bays are a little longer but I use 15’ hose. I wrap all in bay hoses with NFSGX25 Crush Resistant Spiral Hose Guard - 0.8 Inch ID X 66 It works great. I don’t want the gun to reach the coin/credit card boxes because some customers spray the box's to try to get free wash’s. It doesn’t and all...

Because of that problem on my older locations vacs I decided to change whine I built my last one. My last wash I built I put the vacs and one blower on the perimeter of the property. Volume is a bit less but the customers like it a lot. They can take their time. I raised my vac start time and...

I offer 3 FREE minutes when customer puts in $5 or more in bills or quarters only. Customers loves it. I do not offer it on credit cards. Credit card minimum is $4.

I offered free use of microfiber towels at my express wash. I go through $1500+ per year. I had a guy try to put over 30 towels in his car. Put hand blowers in each bay. Your customers will spend a lot more time in your bays but at least their paying for it. Not all the customers will use them...

Why don’t you use your wash and property for parking. I bet you could get at least $20 per car.

Waxman that‘s a nice looking sign

I agree with Greg. I haven‘t washed my vac bags in years. I beat the bags every month or 2 and clean out the inside and outside of the vacs.

My credit card max charge is $9.86. In January we figure out the high average spent on credit cards and make that the maximum. If the customer needs more time they have to run their card again and the minimum is $4.00. This has helped a lot. If customers look at their statement they don‘t...

Self serv prices are too cheap already. Our industry needs to find ways to increase prices. Built our first self service in 1977. Start up price was $1.50 for 4 minutes. Two months later I raised it to 1.75 because on all the trash and mud. Had to increase trash pickup to 2 times per week. Some...

Washnshine thanks. I had not thought about using it at 40-70 lbs. pressure. I was concerned with the cost using it at high pressure.

Does any one use it thru the wand gun in the bays?

You can try muriatic acid. It’s pretty dangerous so be very careful. You need to be fully protected from head to feet.

Great video. From experience you need to attach your cameras to the brick or concrete. It is to easy to rip them off of aluminu.

I’ve just contacted other operators that I was selling one of my washes. I told them I was going to get the word out to other operators in the next week. One guy asked if he could come over now and take a look. Made the deal that day. They KNOW what they see and theirs no stupid questions...

Try rebooting it. Turn all the power off to the bay for a minute or two and turn it back on. I had a problem like that and that worked. Not sure why but it worked.

I agree with MEP and Dan

I.B. I did that yeas ago. Every January I up the amount to an odd number like $9.72. Last year was $9.19 I bet I haven’t had 5 complaints in 2-3 yrs.

Thanks

MEEP001 my RO runs around 50 PSI. What did you have to do to your system to get 45 PSI?

I misunderstood your texted “There is no high pressure soap in of the bays.” Are you getting high pressure rinse in this bay? Can you connect another bays hoses to the bay that isn’t getting the soap and see if you get soap. If you get high pressure soap then it’s probably the pump. I would...
