$6 is a good deal for basic because thats all you really need even though $5 is still best. Now everyone is doing $10 so now i wash my car at home lol. Also avoids the people that dont know how to go when its done.
I still like self serve bays more than automatics, much more fun :) As long as its a proper self serve and not like the ones we have around here usually
That’s awesome man! I have 2 Washworlds and 1 Laser. How do you like your Condor? That revenue will definitely pick up! Love the videos and best of luck!
Oh nice!! It’s not too bad. No major issues just getting the cobwebs out of the new machine so to speak and working it enough to find it’s groove. Yeah it’s been growing. Thanks!!
@@davidc5808 I would say my autos run 300-500 a month each. They’re all 3 in small towns. My next location I’m getting does about 3000 cars a month. Bigger city.
Hope your business for this new location picks up fast, unfortunately I live quite far away (Finland) otherwise I'd be a loyal customer 😉 it's my dream to own a carwash station, just a couple of bays with foamcanon, high pressure washer, dryer just basic stuff and maybe a little shop on the side to sell detailing products since that is my passion. But here in Finland the rules are very strict, I'm not even allowed to wash my car on my own driveway and I'm afraid that all the precautions I'd need to take to stay environmentally friendly would jack the prices up so much that it's not going to be very lucrative. Anyway living vicariously through your channel and I wish you all the best 👍
Really enjoys your videos. Would you say car washes in business areas not residential are still good to invest in. There’s some that are run down where I’m at but all in business areas only
They could be. Hard to tell without looking at the area. If there’s plenty of cars driving by then I don’t see why not. If it’s 90% semi trailers and trucks then might not do that well
Maybe it could be a good idea to run some advertising, it will break the bank if it takes too long to become profitable, don't let it become upsidedown. Good luck!!!
Thanks James. Honestly hard to tell because I got the soap containers and barely looked like they moved in just one month. The soaps last a long time. Maybe like $50-$100 a month guessing. Still pretty quiet
Nice, hopefully that revenue increases over the coming months. Have you noticed a decrease in revenue from your self-serve bays since installing the automatic?
How much does a carwash like that cost to have built out? From the ground up not including land. How much are your electric and water bills? Surely your overhead is much more than $2k/mo.
A wash like that for 1 bay is around 700k and 1.2 milliion for 2bay. Not including the land. Its very hard to get ROI from a new built carwash. Tunnle washes are a better investment. Can wash more cars per hour, sell monthly packages and coat per car is less in a tunnle setup.
Wait a minute? That looks like your truck! I thought car wash owners never washed their own vehicles? If only it cleaned the inside of your windshield… 🧼
How did you get started? I'd like to do a 2 bay touchless station. Do you have any videos and monthly costs and how you got started?
Takings are one thing but what were the costs for the month of June? Water Soap and Power???
I love these I 1st seen em when I was working in Nebraska. I can't wait to bring this down to the south for car lovers
You need to charge more. $9.00, $12.00, $15.00 and $18.00. I plan to open 3 car wash machines in one location in a busy town area.
$6 is a good deal for basic because thats all you really need even though $5 is still best. Now everyone is doing $10 so now i wash my car at home lol. Also avoids the people that dont know how to go when its done.
Did you include all the water and soap you had to pay, including electric that was used?
I'm planning to go to the business myself in the future. How many car wash cabinets do you think I should start with ?
I still like self serve bays more than automatics, much more fun :) As long as its a proper self serve and not like the ones we have around here usually
Sweet , hope it works out for you. Love people that take chances.
how much is did you invest in the business?
Hey I liked your vedio I would love to start it can u tell how much it cost you for all the things
Would it be worth doing in Australia?
Add a light show, introduce a membership program, a couple vacuums and its a world of difference
Thanks
👍🏻
Is your automatic wash open 24 hrs? I went previously at night and it was closed? Wanna go soon but can only go late wanna make sure it’s open!
Yes 24/7. Must’ve been a while ago maybe was fixing something.
@@CarWashChronicles just went and it was awesome! Car came out clean 🧼
do you need someone on site 7 days a week to clean up and take out trash etc?
Where are you located?

With your in bay automatics how many cars do you think each machine is washing a day?
@@davidc5808 I would say my autos run 300-500 a month each. They’re all 3 in small towns. My next location I’m getting does about 3000 cars a month. Bigger city.
@@InvestWashRepeat when you say 3000 a month are you saying a single machine is doing 3000 a month or roughly 100 a day?
@@InvestWashRepeat whats your daily car traffic count for your location washing 500 cars a month and then for the location looking to wash 3k a month?
Out of that revenue what was your profit for that month?
How do you even pay for supplies land and yourself? This money not what I thought
We have 3 automatic machines, 2 touch free and 1 brush auto.
We average 200 cars a day
Also have 3 Manual bays
Where do you buy equipment?
Where are you guys located?
Do you have a course for all things car wash ownership

Thank you. Wow that’s cool. Yes every country is very different
How to wash the inside??

@@CarWashChronicles thanks. I appreciate it
Hang on mate - you’re an Aussie - what you doing there in the states opening this car wash? 🤔
How’d you pay for the condor? Do they Finance ? Cash?
Cash. But they do work with banks who loan on it. Just a bit of a process.
Hi has it improved by now? curious if u could share how many cars you average per day now
It’s picking up much better. Not sure how many cars. Just go by how many $$
Maybe it could be a good idea to run some advertising, it will break the bank if it takes too long to become profitable, don't let it become upsidedown.
Good luck!!!
What state you in?
What does your soap and chemical cost to run the automatic for a month? Love your content BTW
Thanks James. Honestly hard to tell because I got the soap containers and barely looked like they moved in just one month. The soaps last a long time. Maybe like $50-$100 a month guessing. Still pretty quiet
It's been a year. Whats it look like now?
How much was the total investment? I am thinking of starting one.
What’s the cash flow so far?
Automatic getting some love chris
Can’t leave it out lol
Have you ever thought doing window tinting in one of your bays and asking the customers if they would like that?
Nice, hopefully that revenue increases over the coming months.
Have you noticed a decrease in revenue from your self-serve bays since installing the automatic?
Hopefully 🙏 lol. Not at all luckily. Bays doing better than ever.
Do get people break into your cash machine?
So how much is ur car wash business making u now?
How much does a carwash like that cost to have built out? From the ground up not including land. How much are your electric and water bills? Surely your overhead is much more than $2k/mo.
Approx. 1-2 million dollars

With Wash Analytics you could know exactly what your self serve makes, and what the customers are spending it on 😉
How much did it cost to buy and buy and install?
I’m the 100# like 👍🏽 do I get some love from car wash chronicles ?
Woooo. Big 100!! Appreciate it
I have plans to do one of these in my local municipality.
no way that comes close to even covering expenses.
One like from 500 likes! Someone give him a like!
never tell people how much you make. It's nevcer a good idea
All chump change. With water bill..not even worth it.
