The day has finally arrived! My In Bay Touchless Automatic Car Wash is open for business. Im so excited to share this with you all. This is a great addition to my 5 self serve bays and I cant wait to see how much revenue it will bring in as should make the same as 4 bays combined every week so its as though I just got another car wash.
Car washes can be a great investment and can also generate great passive income providing you set it up correctly. There's no real secret its all about making it the best car wash possible, give a great price for an amazing product and customers will come not only once but will repeat.
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!

so far the only drawback is it doesn't dry as good at we might expect, but the sun and wind may take care of that i suppose, still worth it if you ask me. my aim is to buy one myself . thanks for this brotha

I never saw this type in NJ. We have the good ones that actually use soft twirling brushes/foam ( I guess you call them soft touch) to get the car clean properly. Spots will never come off a car unless there is some rubbing involved.

@@CarWashChronicles you should make the pre soak more foamy

@johntownsend166 10 ай бұрын

The KL1 is a solid machine. As mentuoned by others, the presoaks look weak. I service a few KL2s. Ideally, a slightly runny over foamy on the presoaks, for better cleaning. Foamy white looks better, but the secong presoak has a harder time cutting through the bubbly foam. And those 341 through 343 conditioners smell great!

@@CarWashChronicles That makes sense but Belanger definitely has a good name in the industry. How good is your relationship with Jiffy Lube could you get them to give out free washes with a code at the end of a oil service and charge them a very discounted rate? The reason I ask is because I got a free wash from a Jiffy Lube one time and I found out it was the best tunnel wash in town because they did a hand dry at the end. I later purchased a monthly membership and have had it for years. I never would have known how good it was if I wasnt given the first wash free.

It's interesting to see how different brands work exactly the same way. The car wash I go to has two bays with llaserwash 4000's. The only difference is how the owner programs it. He adds an extra pass across the front on the most expensive wash, to get the bugs off.

Most car washes with only have one touchess bay. The others are all hand wash for tunnel wash. The one independent place near me redhead only to Touchless space in one hand wash went out of business at the beginning of the pandemic.

Hey Chris, the presoak looked weak, and also looks like it was coming out at a fast rate. When my pre-soak comes on people can't even see out of the windows as I also air inject my pre-soak. Just something to look at!! Tri-foam looked good. Maybe they just don't air injected the presoak, but customers love a show!! Great job!

Thanks Ben. My car washes had no purchase price. They were shut down for a long time so they were worthless. Just entered a lease so all I had was renovation costs. That’s for the self serve. But if you’re talking about the automatic yes I purchased that. I general rule of thumb that I like to go by is 3 times net yearly income. That can give you a rough idea.
