Come along and let's see what it's like to run a self serve car wash. Today we're at my Bear Valley location. We're going to sweep up trash, collect cash and se what needs fixing.

I'm contemplating replacing quarters with tokens, because having customers put in 12 coins to start is a big psychological thing, whereas one token per dollar wouldn't seem nearly as much. How do you have your vacs and bays set up to handle both? Do you have two coin acceptors on each one, one for quarters and one for tokens?

Thanks for shareing!

I wish you guys were located in Fort Wayne, IN to open a nice self serve car wash. They are trash around here, and building brand new automatic car washes seem to be the new theme around here lately. But I want a nice self serve one :(

[@jgurule35]

I don't think they mean clean, more like better organized. otherwise yeah as long as everything is working and clean.

[@sparris3624]

I remember it from the movie "Grease"

[@jgurule35]

Do you guys use one of those walking magnets to pick up screws and nails?

The quote is from the movie Grease I want my million dollars please 😂

But,,, A clean workplace is a safe workplace. HA! nice video!

[@danielkramer4333]

Are your tokens worth $1 per token? And does your vacuums take those tokens as $1 also?

[@ryanjuers7881]

Hey I'm just curious if we could get an auto bay update at this carwash as I am woundering if you're still putting that razor in.

I would love to see what brand new back if house equipment would look, though I assume that'd be mega expensive. Will you eventually change the colours so that they match the blue or do you have them as different colours si they don't appear to be a chain. I cringe when you use the american word bills instead of notes.

[@lorainejenson1724]

what merchant do you use to take payments ?

[@625jeffrey]

Any issue with people buying their own tokens online to cheat the system or are they totally custom tokens?

Monex has been charging me 12%

[@patscott6804]

You would always have to separate tokens from quarters,I would get tired of doing it,QUARTERS ONLY LOL

[@patscott6804]

@@Spring732 after a good amount of time I would get tired of waiting for the machine 20mins to separate coins.Sorry

[@Roban554]

You forgot to show us when you counted the dollar bills :(

😂 beat me to it! 😂

This coin counting all the time would bug me out. I'd go to the bank to count it, or get a big machine at your home which can do it automatically. Just load all in bags into your car, and refill with fresh tokens from your car. Do all the counting at home. This seems like so much wasted time. Just my 2 cents (or tokens if you want). :)

I own a SS car wash. We used to take all the coins home to count. A 5 gallon bucket full of coins can actually be pretty heavy, sometime I will have to use a dolly. A heavy bucket is good problem to have though. We now count inside the equipment room. We keep all the dollar coins there to reload the changers instead of having to bring them back to the car wash. We just take all the quarters to the bank. When we are low on coins we can empty the vaults and count the coins on the spot, so it's more efficient to count at the car wash.
