How would he be throwing away money if he will most likely make more per minute from a vacuum in the bay?
because if it is in the bay, the bay can only be used by one car at a time whereas if you had an island, one car can be using the vacuum and another can be in the bay using the wash. it is simple math. two going and once is better than one at a time.
Exactly, makes no sense to me.
I can see this as negative if he already has 100% utilization for washing, otherwise I think most likely charge more per minute of Bay time vs vac time. Of course there seems to be more "Prep" time, getting stuff in n out of car before and after vacuuming when the meter won't be running.
That would be my concern. Plus, I'm seeing more and more people that are basically living out of their cars. They'll pull into a vac station and spend hours unloading all their crap, sorting through it, and then spending maybe a couple of bucks to vacuum. I've been running off the most blatant ones, but no way I'd want them doing that crap in my wash bays.
That is true with the crazy weather in Michigan trying to give some different options
Just think then it gets wet and trying to sweep it up and then it gets into the pits ooo weee a certified mess
