I recently bought a self serve carwash and watching your videos have really taught me a lot I bought it with zero knowledge of how to run a carwash I’m slowly replacing everything that doesn’t work and want to make it work to it’s full potential just like yours! Keep up the videos I’m loving all the content! 😀

Hey keep up the great work I love your videos I can’t stop watching them I had a question for you why do you lease out your car washes why don’t you purchase them from the owner does it make more sense to lease or to own which one works out better in the long run
@CarWashChronicles2 жыл бұрын
No difference in purchasing the business or leasing the business. It’s the land that I’m leasing. I own the car wash business through the lease. If I buy just the business for 100k with a 20 year lease it’s the same thing as just getting a 20 year lease and the car wash for free. Its different if I buy the land then I don’t have a lease because I own it.

It's great how much you makes per week. Buts what's your average per week / grand total out of all your car washes. + Minus your chemical cost and runnings costs. Be interesting what your profit will be minus your expenses etc... If you could do a video on that 👍

The way we found him was we were driving around looking at car washes and we saw him on a ladder working on a car wash and asked if he would work for us on his spare days and said yes. Turned out to be the best find for us. There’s companies where you can get guys to instal things but they’re very expensive

Pretty much. People less likely to break in. No coin shortage issues and people put in two tokens instead of 8 quarters so more efficient I guess.

You should only count the coins and bills in the bays, not in the change machine. Never count change machine for income. If someone put a $10 in change machine and only used $6 in tokens and takes $4 home your losing $4 in income that you are saying you made, but are actually over stating your income and hurting yourself. Same in laundromats, you only count the money in the washers and dryers, not in change machine.

If people take tokens off premises I actually make money. I pay about 17 cents per token so if someone buys it for $1 and takes them. Good profit margin. I’ll count that for sure
