I am preparing to built a SS wash in Calgary, Alberta and am wondering what is the better investment. In Bay Vacs, Island Vacs or Both?

Do people prefer In Bay Vacs or Island Vacs?

Thanks!

Max,

What style of wash are you building...barn (people pay for time in the barn) or individual bays (where people drop coins in the coinbox)?

Barn style I would use regular central vac type machines (check out the ones at Big Buckets Car Wash). Coin operated I would use vac islands. Up there you will likely charge 75 cents to $1 per minute and that's way too expensive for vacs, so you would need equipment that can recalculate time at a lesser rate when you're switched to vacs. But then do you want people in your bays washing at say $.75/min or vacuuming at $.20/min?

Hope this helps...Big Leo
