The carwash is getting EXPENSIVE and in this video I detail some of the costs we're dealing with when it comes to things like coin changers, credit card acceptors and the things we're buying to make the job easier and MAKE MORE MONEY at our CARWASH Business!
This car wash business has been pretty cool so far but it's still a TON of work, but things ARE GETTING EASIER as time goes on, especially with the changer upgrades. They've been starting to work great and the customers are happy that the bill validators aren't going down regularly.

The new thing at car washes is a dog wash .... I've seen them pop up I in Canada ... seem as busy as car washes

[@deshaunjackson8188]

The dog wash sounds dumb. I would do vending machines.

[@ccc822007]

go to your local dog parks and research how many locals own dogs before you do a dog wash. You may be spending money excessively to create a dog wash. only to get a low return. Always do your due diligence.

[@n3lee]

I'd suggest that, or even local pet shops, vets, etc. 24 hr access to a doggie wash would have been handy when my puppers was still around, seemed to always find the skunk before coming in for the night....

[@RikkiCattermole]

Here in NZ pet washes tend to be free. So researching if they are even willing to spend that money would be a good idea. Otherwise it might only be a lost-center (that brings people in).

[@0xFF48]

To have a successful dog wash at a car wash you have to keep it immaculate. A customer might wash their car in a dirty bay, but they will be extremely reluctant to wash their dog in a pet wash that is cold,. dirty with hair, poop, garbage or graffiti. In a pet wash you're selling hygiene, that means the facility has to look clean, smell clean, etc. Looking at the current condition of that wash, would you wash your dog there? Probably not maybe after they clean it up.

[@jantschierschky3461]

@@0xFF48 I would agree, also the problem be all the hair could cause blockages. I would go vending machines

[@max1o295]

Dog washes are almost always not worth it they require more maintenance then a carwash, I used to take care of one that was with the carwash I work at it daily cleaning, hotwater, pumps for water on the floor hair/water separator, smells on warm days like a porta potty even when clean.

@Michael Curley dog owners often caused problems, you could never keep it clean. Plus margins are really low for that, when people have ways to clean dogs at home

[@ongkhuongduy3498]

@Michael Curley $60 an hour seems really good. 40 hours work week and she is bringing in north of 100k a year. Doesn't the DIY wash would canibalize on her grooming business though, since some people would prefer to just use the DIY wash at lower price compared to her grooming service.

[@EternalNightsCollectibles]

The often times overlooked part of business. The upkeep and overal general maintenance. Good video!

[@zbruh7268]

I know of 2 car washes where they closed due to the high cost of city water

[@RussellNelson330]

The Bay's need a good degreasing and scrubbing also. Offer job's of cleaning to your church youth group for funding for there Trip's.

[@InvestmentJoy]

I missed the power wash video I had in this one, Will a make it in next upload

[@fr3shSwag]

This is a very good idea

[@0xFF48]

There are great car wash bay wall cleaning products. Many of them use very strong acids like hf, abf or phosphoric acid. So there is no way I'd use a church youth group. Not using proper procedures and ppe can send someone to a hospital with permanent damage to the body.

[@rnrudynh1427]

Or they could just use a scrub brush and the hose already in the bay. Maybe even some simple green. Then seal the walls with Thompson water seal to keep the mildew and soap scum down. Just an idea.

[@0xFF48]

@@rnrudynh1427 you speak as someone who has never done it. Regular wash down of mud is daily. Deep clean is weekly. Simple green and a scrub brush is an all day task for the number of bays he has. Repeat it next week. But try it and let me know how it goes.

[@funnybutclose]

In Florida with car washes, the vending machines that dispense car care products are a hit. I think a car care vending machine and a drink machine would make the best money.

[@kitfoxkip2740]

We have one at one of the car washes I go to - I use it probably more than I ought to, since I always forget to bring towels or wipes or window cleaner. If you put in decent stuff with decent convenience prices, I think its a great boon to customers,too (like me, who forget to bring whatever.)

[@pw510577w]

I like the fact that when you buy a business you spend time cleaning it up. A dirty, messy business is generally a reflection on the owner. I would much prefer to work in a clean and tidy environment, rather than a chaotic mess.

I resonate with this comment so much. Been working with my brother at a business we purchased 2.5 years ago, it seems I am the only one that cares enough to keep the place in order. I swear if I left it alone for a week, it would take me 2 weeks to clean up again.... luckily we are selling and we can go our separate directions now.

[@brez85]

Air compressor

[@Gkkiux]

I suppose I wouldn't go to the nearest gas station to find a compressor if I was already at a car wash that had one, though I don't really see it as a priority. It's not like places charge for using those, so it only seems like a bonus if there are no gas stations nearby

[@ford_probe_garage_studio]

I like this idea. Great idea. I can’t find any free air pressure stations anymore, all for money now. I used a credit card air pressure pump at Kroger. Cost me a $1.25. I had no choice, I had a half flat tire I noticed while cleaning and washing my car.

Build a soft cloth wash, Many people do not like the no touch washes as they do not always remove a 1-2 weeks accumulation of road grime even with the best pre-soak chemicals on the market. When when I say soft I mean Micro-fiber, not the outdoor carpet crap or the foam pendulum side wraps. A great feature to add to any wash is a 90-150 PSI undercarriage cleaner. Most convey system use what amounts to a garden sprinkle but many self serve /auto bay locations like yours can really benefit from a high Pressure system such as I described.

[@wiplash123987]

I love the carwash videos. It really is a very interesting business and I bet once you do your upgrades, the maintenance will not go away but will be greatly reduced. Putting in credit card readers creates easy access, reliability, and creates more time for you. I think as viewers we can tell that the previous owner really did just give up. A lot of up front costs for you, but something that will create value.

[@scottvanderbly264]

I think a pet wash would do great! I would also invest in Painting the old tile inside the bays and outside. A fresh coat of paint goes a long way to make the customers know you care and are making improvements.... Also maybe go to a sign printing place and get a canvas banner that says under new ownership to hang outside plus you could re-use the banner for other businesses you start

Here in California most self service car wash doesn’t give change back instead it gives tokens can be used only in that carwash , also they started adding credits card readers to give you continuous time to wash your car and it stop when you select finish , I think they are making more money with these tricks.

[@jallapeno242]

I like your way of pushing for efficiency. Hard work in the beginning for less work and a more lean process later. Just a tip for the stainless. When using a drill the scratches can get too deep and collect dirt. Try to use a skotchbright pad instead. Even a handheld makes all the difference.

[@mattzinicola7460]

When you get it to a point where most everything has been upgraded/cleaned/installed/replaced, will you do a video or two showing the contrast between "before" and "after"? It would be great to see the differences... Just a thought I've implemented at my laundromat.. if there's any risk of water/critter infiltration.. you may want to pack that inventory in locking, plastic totes for (long-term) storage.... I'm with you.. .These businesses have tons of hours of physical labor to get upgraded. Another great video. Thanks for sharing!

I would suggest getting some caulk. The kind that's mad for your tub, and sealing anywhere inside your change machines that water can get in. You would be surprised how much that will help. You can also put some dielectric grease on any electrical connections in the machines or coat them with some sealer. Check with your local electrician or hardware store on sealer for the electrical connections, they can tell you what to use that won't cause a problem.

[@dualactionsurgilator]

Coin Changers in a car wash are always a pain in the ass! I ran a coin op car wash for years. Bill validators are the most trouble prone part. Yearly you have to take them apart and clean them. I don't know where you are but I'd assume somewhere south as I did not see doors on the bays. Our Carwashes hare have doors and heated floors. Here in MN we NEED the heated validators. Make sure that when you change out the bays you DRY the quarters before they go in the changer. THis prevents them from sticking/freezing together and jamming up the machine.

Wow, I really like this series! A few questions for you: Do you plan on adding blowers/dryer(s) to any of the bays or a standalone for all the bays to use at some point? What is the average cost profit per wash after taking out materials costs to get the soaps and whatnot? Have you started looking at your options for touchless systems and do you have any you like or are potentially interested in putting in? Is it true that monthly unlimited car wash passes do not make any money/end up losing money? Recommendation: Air pump for filling tires. Might not make you any money at all if you offer it for free usage, but its the little things that might get you more traffic perhaps. I look forward to hearing from you and seeing your progress with not only the washes but your other businesses.

What i understand from car washes is when you buy an old one youre just buying the building And most people who run them would rather build a new shiny one than remodel the old ones

[@AllCategoryChannel]

It's not that.. A car wash will always be profitable no matter the age or if you think you need to remodel.Nowadays they can be built far cheaper than what these guys end up paying for a used 30 year old car wash and put in it just to get it to a reasonable level where it won't just break every 2 weeks.. I'd go so far to say it's worth just destroying the old building and selling what you can sell and build it right.. Personally I wouldn't go to a car wash as presented in the video unless it was the only option near a 15-30mile radius which is the only reason this car wash turns profit.

[@carloslondono6444]

The maintenance in a car wash never stops. The bill changer will fail many more times when the customers put an old bill, or when it doesn’t simply want to work and requires a reset. The equipment in your wash looks rough. You also need a part time person to simply clean up and be there on weekends to make sure things go smooth. Don’t do a pet wash, hair will clog up the drain and customers damage and mistreat everything. I removed it on my wash for that reason. Good luck!

Specialy when you use air dryers. B. Hair and mud will greate a bigger chance of blockage of the drains. C. I would not go to a dog washer if it was open bay and cars ran by all the time. If a dog escapes ore something.. the need to be contained. Good luck with the carwash!

One thing I would advise is get the car wash high-pressure clean, make it look nicer. I see issues with pet wash, be the potential of smell, cleaning cost, blockages due to hair

Ice Vending is what I would do since you already have the electrical, water and spot for it. Buy a reliable machine cause it seems like the cheap ones need more maintenance. I’ve been looking at Kooler Ice for years just haven’t had the money to do it unfortunately.

I’ve been doing carwashing a long time and I’m excited to meet new investors. Can’t wait to see you at the conference this year.

I knew a guy who worked at a place that engineers ice machines. He said once they're installed, they practically print money. This is Coastal NC though.

Instead of a drill, get yourself an angle grinder with a knotted while wheel and wire wheel attachments for the polishing of the stainless. Also I would suggest a vending machine (like a snack machine) for products like air fresheners and cleaning products.

If you have the space having an oversized vehicle washing area say for big rigs/tractors (depending on the locality and demand)

Anothwr option, how many Semi owners are in the area? An outside truck wash bay is always appreciated by drivers that like to keep their trucks clean.
