    Even in winter, in Minnesota, car washes make big coin. In Jan if it's been below 10 degrees for a while the lines are huge because people need to wash salt and grime off.

      Thanks for that. Yes I can imagine how dirty the cars get in the snow.

    Love the videos man. Your channel is blowing up and for good reason! I am remodeling my first carwash right now and am super excited. We are attached to a rather large gas station and our biggest obstacle is either replacing or repairing the in-bay automatic. We just added bill acceptors to the bays and next spring we are going to add the air dryers as you have!

      That’s awesome. Congratulations!! Yes I was in the same boat. My in bag auto was so old and couldn’t really fix if I wanted as all the parts were out dated and they didn’t make them anymore so I’m getting the new one. All good add ons and up grades. Air dryers will do great.

    Because a carwash generates cash, they are easy to steal from. Don't think a family member won't be tempted- my partner's daughter clipped us for $8,000.

    Got yelled at washing my vehicle at a self serve car wash simply because they weren't patient enough to wait until I was finished. Almost had to leave with my vehicle still soapy to go to an automatic car wash nearby because of these rude and disrespectful people.

      Where in Oregon are you? There’s an abandoned car wash in Springfield I’d love to see in business again. I thought about trying to lease it and converting it into a detailing shop but my health is such a roller coaster that I’m not the ideal person to be able to keep up with it.

      Hard for me to say since I have no experience with it but speaking with other car wash owners who have subscriptions they seem to like it and works pretty well. I’ll have to do some more research and see if it’s worth doing on my new one
