Where did you order your new equipment from?
Comment from : Jeremy Bowen

hey car wash chronicles im planning on buying a carwash within the next few months with no experience and im watching your videos to learn the basic, and i was wondering if theres a certain place/website that u order your equipment such as the money exchange or new motors or the supplys at 7:00 etc and what ppl do u call to install the new equipment

Not trying to criticize or anything, since I don't own a carwash, but just from a business persepctive, why are you replacing all of that equiptment? Was it all non-functional? Thanks
Comment from : Russell Young

For hose quick connect look into Festo brand, best in the world, for air liquid Not a brand that is known for brittle crap Even have them in metal
Comment from : SORLOK

Still looks like shit 🤦‍♂🤦‍♂
Comment from : Julian Reverse

As a person that uses self service car washes regularly I can tell you one thing I always look for is a car wash that takes cards at both the bays and vacuums

Comment from : 2buckpremium

Tucson?
Comment from : Sal Monella

Out of curiosity, why do you not go to having credit / debit card acceptors?
Comment from : lojosol

None of the self serve car washes where I live are coin operated You go through a gate after paying 10 bucks with your CC or cash and its unlimited time They also have a dog wash on the side Although I have never seen a dog being washed while I was there Would be handy though The places are well maintained so it must be working financially for the owners
Comment from : M Dutchy

Dude sounds Kiwi
Comment from : Vaughan Jones

I would never invest in a car wash I'm smart enough to purchase my own pressure washer and shop vac and clean my car whenever I want
Comment from : Everything Videos

I drive by the $4 coin op that have 5 settings and cold water To the $6 coin op that has 8 settings And hot and soft water ----- The little extra road grease and dirt comes off And the wax applies properly The finish always comes out better

Are you an Aussie?

Comment from : Lacreasha_Michelle

and that is how you loose fingers!
Comment from : matthew earle

Man if I won the lottery I'd love to do this but tile over all the stone walls with some type of bright and sturdy tile and install super bright hexagon lights above like people are putting into car garages
Comment from : BfoSHIZnats

How do you protect your locations from theft? I’m a cop in a low income community and these places are always getting hit
Comment from : jon meek

Ну что, американцы, готовитесь к дефолту?)
Comment from : HappyBeard

Sweet never thought about it owning a small carwash😊 god bless keep it up brother
Comment from : Dimtiri

Nice to see an owner working to improve the reliability of the equipment for a better customer experience It appears that the new equipment will provide a higher level of pressure to the wandsbrGreat job owner and your customers will appreciate the improved reliability and pressure You will likely see an increase your customers at the location
Comment from : David Farmer

Why throw stuff away? You should make some kind of wooden box, lavel it scrap metal free and leave it out in the open someplace It will get taken by professional scrappers You will also get them as regular customers
Comment from : Robert R Dell

is that an australian accent? definitely not american
Comment from : KTMRider138

That's exactly why you use the cheapest $2 lock, so they break it and not the equipment Duu
Comment from : Wm Shafer

I've never understood the foam brushes Yeah they look fun and foamy, but they are about the worst way you could wash your car, especially at a public car wash A one-way ticket to swirls and microscratches on your car
Comment from : Most Valuable Dog

gotta take credit cards!
Comment from : George Brooks

Not sure the difference in all the pipes you could you use to pipe from equipment room to each bay, but could you use other materials like pex pipe that is used in home plumbing? Are there any alternatives you would suggest especially for areas that fall below freezing outside?
Comment from : Jordan Kendall

Could you share all the suppliers you use for all the equipment and materials to run a car wash? Either share here a list or a link to a video if you covered that already Thanks for sharing all your experiences with running and fixing your car washes
Comment from : Jordan Kendall

Thanks for sharing the start of the upgrade, interesting to see what operate the car wash 🚗🚙🛻
Comment from : Northern Europe

$2 for 4 minutes is still a very good price, at my local self-car wash I pay €2 for 2,5 minutes
Comment from : Max

I like the boxes that take credit cards So much easier than pumping quarters in every few minutes Just swipe your card, and wash til you’re done
Comment from : deztroyer76

Holy cow that is an angry and aggressive American :O
Comment from : Eric Andresen

you are renovating your car wash in 2023 and you don't add the option of contactless card payment? brif the minimum is $2, why doesn't it eat bills right away, but you have to change to quarters first? brThe US is really 20 years behind Europe in some things 😂brIt's been a few years since I've seen a car wash that doesn't take cards
Comment from : MrJacon95

The guy who owns the car washes in my area is useless He owns a bunch but they are all scummy, and you can tell he puts zero money back into them Everything is dirty and rusty with missing hose hooks and mat hangers If he would just put a little money in and clean them up he would probably double his business, but he would rather just be a slum lord It's pathetic
Comment from : Kris Hite

If someone vacuums up something they don't want to lose they want to get it back Locks, doors, etc will not stop them I'd advise putting some type of number or something for a person to contact if that happens If there is nobody on site and nobody to contact I'm going to take a prybar to door to get my stuff back
Comment from : Scott Mc

Ok but the beats in this are fire😂😂
Comment from : JDog73

Instead of wire nuts you should have gone for WAGO clamps
Comment from : NicMediaDesign

Wow, you are all over the place with this one
Comment from : MrCT

So strange to come across this because I used to wash my E39 here all the time while I was in college
Comment from : Jonathan Malik

That's a hard day's work there, especially with the heat!

You Aussie mate

If you don’t mind me asking How much did the car wash cost?
Comment from : Sw3rve_Eclipse

$200 IS CHEAP, in CA its $3 and some areas $375
Comment from : TT Innovations

How often do you need to change the oil in those CAT pumps?
Comment from : Michael Liston

i still find it wierd to see all the cash machines, living in sweden we dont see that many cash machines anymore, everything is paid for by cardbrGonna follow this channel, you seam like a cool guy :)
Comment from : Thomas

It's 2023 why aren't you doing credit card readers and tokens?
Comment from : Joel Smith

I’m just curious why when you’re renovating like this, you don’t put in credit card readers The inconvenience of dealing with quarters is the biggest drawback of a car wash like this We had one here in Miami and I just quit going to it because of that one issue
Comment from : WutsUpNow

You’re better off without the vacuums They make the least money but are the first things targeted by people to break into The money spent on repairs or replacement doesn’t make sense
Comment from : Cameron Basford

We got one of those in deer valley
Comment from : giomar rodriguez

These are getting rare to see these days, in my area there are only two left
Comment from : Retro86

rip old stuff that has lasted for so long new ones wont last half the time
Comment from : hillppari

Hey man wouldn't mind having the old equipment I might have a good use for them here I have a big drive for detailing here in nigeria
Comment from : ABIODUN Tijesuni

I’m gonna come use this wash because the one by the base sucks ass
Comment from : Jaxolot

Putting that tank on the roof will give you nice hot water
Comment from : Sean Wilhelm

Are you Australian or from newzealand?
Comment from : John Tee

Walter white would be proud
Comment from : Diced

At least in my area these types of car washes don't make any sense anymore Instead we have drive-thru car washes with vacuum stalls aggressively priced unlimited $15 per month memberships
Comment from : D Jaquith

No idea why this popped up on my youtubeNotice the Aussie accent! so kept watching (Me being an Aussie)
Comment from : FranticMonster

Comment from : Paul Huwig

Comment from : Pete B

Comment from : AkshonClip

Comment from : upwardsofunknown

Comment from : Mike Mills

I used to sell all those fittings and hoses years ago
Comment from : SDS 1

Ppl pay and wash their own car in USA??? 😂
Comment from : dwks

You should run hot water, it cleans better, or even have an option for it that charges extra
Comment from : ausieking

Personally I would have just put a spring hinge on the vacuum also definitely run water when cutting bricks, silicosis is not a fun way to die
Comment from : ausieking

How much can you make off a car wash?
Comment from : John Petrucci

I live in Phoenix and my dad owned and operated three growing up, down to one now They are a lot of work and of course people will steal anything not bolted down Great work so far
Comment from : Taylor Russ

I owned self service car washes for 15 years and my Dad for 40 This brings back memories that’s for sure
Comment from : Veritas Valebit

Someone must have watched Breaking Bad
Comment from : Mitchell_

Is there a reason you didn't use an up to date credit card/cash box? Im in MD and almost all self-service washes take cards as well as cash/coins Some have a set amount they charge per swipe and one allows you to swipe and use it for as long as needed and charges you whatever the screen says when you press stop It does have an $18 max per use, probably just in case someone forgets to hit stop twice (once stops the water flow and twice to stop the time and end the wash)
Comment from : Anthony Parlette

As a 20 year wash technician the polly line will last just as long as the braided hose an dont put the ro tank on the roof you will get bacteria and mold growing in the tank with no cl2 to kill it off and have issues with clogging the selonoids
