Hey I don't own either yet. I'm working on it. I see Dencar is having a lot of challenges so I'll have to check out some other options. I really appreciate your post

I had a GC ask me to sign a document like that for pre construction advising and it didn't feel right. I ended up finding a GC that didn't require that. I may circle back to the other GC during the bid phase but I followed my gut and didn't sign anything with the first guy. So far so good. I...

Love it. The petit model and long bays are the future. You might consider Dencar so you can have memberships. So yes the petit is the right equipment, maybe consider Dencar pay stations. As for evaluating car wash builders. I looked around and found a GC that had built other car washes. Once you...

I say go for it. No one knows your market better then you. Just make sure it pencils out.

@Here2Wash You didn't mention what kind of wash you have but lets say if you had a conservative IBA using 50gallons per car then 2300/50 is 46 cars. I think most IBA's use way more water than that. For perspective I don't own a wash but I am working on it. Maybe some others with way more...

Unsure why this is still an issue for folks, it literally taxes minutes to file and gives less info then tax returns.

Looks good to me. But I don't know much. I do love the stacking though. In my experience I would trust what your civil engineer is telling you.

Thank you for all the feedback. I hear the concerns about the site size loud and clear. While I'm passionate about this location, I also want a successful business. I'm going to revisit my projections and consider the potential limitations of the site. Your comments have given me a lot to...

Thanks for your feedback I appreciate it.

@Keno good to know. The Parking spot shown above is 24' long and that's an 8 foot bed dual cab truck in the image. Let's hope it will be ok. Site is really tiny.

I use the takagi ones at my house and the water is pretty hard. They last about ten years. One runs the house potable water the other runs the radiant floor hear. I buy them at supply house dot com

@Blanco I appreciate your feedback. I just don't have the space on this small lot to do what you are suggesting. The vehicles in that pic are 23' long 8' bed trucks.

We met with our city planner and got preliminary approval for our site plan. This was a huge win because the city has a 60 foot wide easement and wanted the sidewalk pushed way into the property, the dashed line near top vacuum. We got them to allow sidewalk next to the road

@Danpelligrino thanks for the feedback. I'd love to know more about your chemical journey. What soaps you tried and what did you eventually land on etc. I get that it's not going to be a fairy tale with this petit in terms of CPH. Im trying not to be niave about it and have asked a lot of owners...

@I.B. Washincars The whole plan for this sight revolves around throughput. This video explains it nicely.

@Danpelligrino Thanks for your reply. I'm going to build two bays and equip one for now. I keep hearing the same thing you just said and I'm trying to future proof the sight as our town is growing.

My lot is weirdly shaped but I own it outright so it's going to have to suffice. Here is a preliminary site plan for double long bay petit.I'd like to have more stacking but it is what it is.

i just filled it out online and it took ten minutes

I'm working on that in January. I'll be updating this thread as I go along. So far I've only got my survey complete.
