In this video I show you how to increase the amount of cash you will be collecting at your self service car wash by installing bill acceptors in each of your bays.
This will avoid bay closures for example if your bays only accept coins and you experience a coin jam in your coin acceptors your bay is down until the coin in unjammed. By having bill acceptors in the bays the bay can remain open and the customer can just put the bills straight in the bill acceptor to start the bay.
If you won a car wash I highly recommend installing these as it is also less pressure on your bill changer. If your bill changer is jammed or out of service than once again the customer can put the bill straight in the bill acceptor.
Self serve car washes are a great passive income business once set up right with the right employees in place to run the day to day operations of the car wash business and someone you trust to collect and bank the money for you then you're able to make it completely passive and focus your efforts on other investments
Other similar business's like this are laundromats and on a much smaller scale vending machines.These business's can also be considered a side hustle with once again when set up correctly would require no more than 5 to 10 hours a week of your time. Happy investing.
After working for my Uncle for 2 years at he's car washes I really wanted my own and I came across this car wash. It was completely shutdown for many years so I approached the owner of the land and made a deal with him.
It took me 6 weeks to bring it back to life and open it and now the customers are starting to pour in. Not to mention I opened it during winter so I am yet. to see its full potential but here's a small taste of how its going so far!

Totally different sector to us but I am obsessed watching the business model of these Chris. 👍 Giving multiple options for how customers can pay is always a great idea.

[@CarWashChronicles]

For sure. Next will be credit cards so lots of options. 🙏👍🏻

[@HybridAnchor]

@@CarWashChronicles yea I was thinking that when you put them in. In the UK I rarely carry physical cash, so I like the contactless / card options at petrol stations as it saves time.

Great advice mate and you can’t beat family bond through work👍 I’ve been living across the road rom a car wash in QLD. Inspiring bud beats tiling that’s for sure

[@CarWashChronicles]

Cheers. Yeah it’s great working with family. Tiling in QLD sounds like not a bad life to me. Love it up there

[@therevestor]

Nice work man. You even made the grout lines to match the blocks 👍. Im looking forward to install my boxes. They are on order now but I opted to forego the bill acceptors because the neighborhood I am in.

[@CarWashChronicles]

Cheers Nathan! Gotta make them grout lines. Lol. Nice. Look forward to seeing which ones ya got and how they look.

[@samuelschlatter5201]

Thats great progress and convenience.

[@UKGoldPanningAdventures]

Chris, the videos are great and im really enjoying following your journey. I think the bill accepters are a great investment and I'm looking forward to see how they are received by your customers. When I leave the British Army in 2023, I will be going on a road trip across America and I will ensure to stop at one of your car washes and give you some custom. Cheers

[@leafcam]

Love your new bill machine !!! Quick question, what if the bill machine doesn’t know “counterfeit bills ?”

[@CarWashChronicles]

Then I guess I’ll end up with a bunch of counterfeits lol

[@davidl890]

As far as I'm aware they can detect counterfeit money and itll spit it back out

[@rs5vr172]

That’s great! How exciting! Which brand did you select and how much was it? Which other machines/ brands were you considering and what did you like about this one versus the others?

[@CarWashChronicles]

Thanks Tom!! I went with coinco vantage validator. One of the more popular ones and my uncle has had them for years and havn’t had many problems with them so that’s why I went with that one.

[@CarWashChronicles]

Also they were about $900 each

[@meticulousdetail5140]

To help people see your bill acceptor you can drill two holes where the lights blink from other side

[@bbgcars]

AHH I CAN SEE YOU WERE A CONTRACTOR BEFORE....BECAUSE YOU USED A COBALT BIT FOR DRILLING STAINLESS AND COOLED IT OFF WHILE DRILLING....PROBABLY USED STAINLESS MIG WIRE AS WELL TO WELD WITH BECAUSE DISSIMILAR METALS WILL CAUSE CORROSION.. GREAT WORK!

[@CarWashChronicles]

Thank you! 👍🏻

[@bigthumperfoot]

It'll be interesting to see on going if the water/chemicals that will get sprayed on them have any negative effect.

[@CarWashChronicles]

Very interesting

[@patpat6719]

How much did it cost you to put the bill acceptors in for all bays plus labor? Thanks. Great video!

[@CarWashChronicles]

About $5400. Thanks! 👍🏻

[@cjmoyle1]

Hi Chris, great video. I am from Australia and am thinking of building my own car wash as expensive here to buy established. I am getting quoted $120k for the cash wash equipment and install based on 4 manual bays. Am thinking I can save a lot of money if I sourced equipment myself and found an installer. Are there suppliers you could recommend?

[@bbgcars]

just do it in the philippines ..$5000 usd for an automated unit and all you need is to lease peoperty...

[@cjmoyle1]

Thanks Boop I need to move to the Philippines or see if I can ship to Australia

[@bbgcars]

@@cjmoyle1 IM SURE EVERYTHING WILL WORK OUT IN THE END.

[@spenceer]

Once all of your bays get the bill acceptors installed, does that make your bill to coin changers obsolete?

[@CarWashChronicles]

No. Lots of people still use them. They don’t really have to buy they do. Just takes the pressure off the bill changers. Good to have both incase one of them gets jammed

[@spenceer]

I just put them at my other location. Video on that coming soon

[@Trainsmowersandmorechannel]

Which location

[@perrrry]

Do your car wash accept cards? If not, why not? I see most places in America it's all about the physical money. In Europe, or at least here in Norway we can use our visa/mastercard wherever we want. Including the car washes.

[@CarWashChronicles]

Mine don’t at the moment. Only been open a short time so slowly upgrading as money comes in I put it back in the business. Credit cards are next. Bit by buy ya know

[@perrrry]

@@CarWashChronicles Fair, that I fully understand. Should be some sort of incentive to have cards from the government tbh. Deductable or so.. since they kinda can track most digital transactions. Thanks for the reply. Good luck on your journey!

[@CarWashChronicles]

Agreed. Thanks so much! 🙏

[@markherring3513]

Would having ONLY debit/credit card machines reduce your cash flow? If i ever did this I would make it debit/credit card ONLY...no cash machine or coins...that would eliminate two things: Theft and having to go there and collect the coins and cash. It would free up your time,

[@CarWashChronicles]

I don’t really think about myself I think about the customer that wants to pay with cash. Would hate for the 60% of my customers paying cash go to the wash down the road because they accept cash. 8 hours a week at the moment. Suppose I could free up some more time. Lol. But I know what you mean.

[@markherring3513]

@@CarWashChronicles But theres no doubt those people with cash have debit/credit cards…they would use them im sure instead of going down the street.
