Depends on what part of the country you are in.Those prices look wicked low to my rookie eye.
I'd have to visit the washes to get exact numbers, but approx:
location 1: $1 for 3 mins
location 2: $.75 for 2 1/4 mins (I think its 10 seconds)
location 3: $1.25 for 3 1/2 mins (I'm pretty sure its 25 seconds)
location 4: $.75 for 2 1/4 mins (I'm pretty sure its 10 seconds also)
I try to increase the vac price the same way, but not as diligent about it. To my best recollection the vac prices are:
location 1: $.75 for 3 mins
location 2: $.75 for 3 mins rear vacs; $1.oo for 3 1/2 mins front vacs
location 3: $.75 for 3 1/2 mins
location 4: $.75 for 2 mins 10 secs (same start up price and time as bays)
Holy Cow are you giving away the farm!!! Raise your prices man. The last wash we bought the previous owner was afraid to raise the prices. The day we took over we raised the prices from $1.25 for 5 minutes in the bays to $2.00 for 4 minutes. No one complained. The Vacuums where .75 for 5 minutes we went to $1.00 for 3 minutes, again no one complained. The vending was .50 for paper towels, and window wipes, raised those them to $1.00. Amorall, and Little Tree air fresheners were .75 raised them to $1.00 and again none complained. The only thing we saw was an increase in revenue. It wasn’t long before everyone else soon followed with a price increase.
