Self Serve Business

[washregal]

I am in the SE PA area and have (2) Self Serve Wash's I have noticed my business being fairly off this year. Is anyone else feeling the pinch?

Also in S.E. Pa. Last year was best year since 2007, this year to date I am up 13% over last year. Its cost me quite a bit to update everything, but its paying off with very steady increases in business. The weather last 2 years has been good for business.

Well I am in N.E PA Just bought 1 wash 4 bay SS on May 1. Have no figures to go on, but May was 4550.00 June was 2015.00 (with 21 days of rain) July will be 3000.00. Don't know if we killed the business in June by increasing the price from 1.75 for 4 minutes to 2.00 for 3.50 minutes. Also raised the vacuum prices from .50 for 4 to 1.00 for 3.5. It had NO vending machines. We put in a 5 slot tree machine, armor all bottle, armor wipes, Big blue towel, bug and tar wipes 3 weeks ago. Changed the bay lights to Led this past week. The two Vacuums were 30 years old and still averaged 11.50 a day. Just bought two new adams 9100-1 super vac's with dixmore timers and bill acceptor's, which I will install next week to replace the old ones.

I'm in Southeast Ohio. It rained virtually every day in June/July that put a hurt on the business. Thank goodness we had a steller May. It has finally quit raining and we are enjoying some less humid sunny weather.

This is what I am seeing.. Had a great May June was terrible - July not bad.. I am guessing it is all due to weather swings.
