anyways… I really doubt that anyone is going to need parts for a car wash this old and out of date. I could be wrong of course, but I would cut this stuff up and sell it for ScrapMetal if it were me. I have trouble even selling brand new parts that are still of use widely in the car wash...
There is a for sale section in this forum that would probably be a better place to post this instead of tacking your post onto the end of an existing post. You can create your own new post in the fourth sale section.
I think you should run the numbers with 10% volume increase, 15% volume increase, and 20 to 25% volume increase.
You should also plan to raise your prices a considerable amount to compensate for the cost of the new equipment.
When I reloaded my automatic, I went from $8, 10, 12, 15 to 16, 18...
my ss wash has a dedicated propane boiler for production water. all functions on self serve are hot. iba chemicals are hot, rinse is cold.

I tried to economize on a couple of air compressors before this and regretted it both times. The first time I had a very loud unreliable...
it's so nice to have something consistently reliable and profitable like a standard coin-op vacuum. they have a simple and time-tested design. they just sit there and make you money day and night. they require so little repair and maintenance!!!
why would you mess around with it and make it...
i think 11 years is the tail end of the useful life of an iba like this. maybe limp along with it for a year or two, but I'd definitely plan on the $250k cost of an equipment/ bay/ paystation upgrade in the near future.
If you do not plan to repair and maintain yourself, buying something this...
Three;
Chrysler product. post-detail vehicle has "issues":
~ heated seats and heated steering wheel only stay on for a brief time, then shut off.
~ navigation system inoperable.
Customer wants to hold detail shop accountable. After two minutes of internet research ( Google it!!!) I found...
