For silver quarters, they have a very different sound to them. You would definitely hear it stand out from the rest when it is going through your counter.
You can buy a machine which is just like the coin counter however you put a sliver coin in the reader slot and when you put quarters in it separates the sliver to the zinc( I’m from London so I don’t know what American quarters are made of) but it basically just separates the slivers
Thanks for pointing out that franchise carwash next door. I had not heard you talk about local competition in your videos before and I have been watching a lot of them. Did it open before or after you got yours up and running?
Hi Chris. Loving your videos, I am hooked on them. Have you ever thought of offering your services to car hire companies or second hand car sales companies. I'm sure their vehicles would need a clean before the next customer hires it or buys it. Just a thought.
Hey Chris, I love your channel. I always wanted to be a car wash owner someday. I've been washing cars for people for an extra income. I just don't know where to start.
Hey Chris, really like your video's . I am thinking of buying one and these are really helpful. I have 2 new tunnel car washes down the street from this location, but the town has 65K Population. It on a busy road but I worry we might be the old car wash as apposed to these brand new facilities. Your thoughts, Thanks,, Joe from Fla.
I was wondering if the change machine counts the cash received and sends it to a database? I was just curious as I would like something like that to monitor the progress of each machine and also have a record of collections in another place especially if you ask someone to do the physical in person collections.
Hey Mate! I'm looking into a carwash in Texas we're I live at. Hope I can get it! Have you seen that gas prices where they are currently at have hurt your business? just curious. Thanks for the cool videos
Great video as always Chris! After you cover all of your expenses, how do you decide how much of the revenue to keep for yourself as income versus investing into the business?
Whatever I need to buy I buy. One month might decide to upgrade with bill acceptors then I’ll do that. Once I have everything installed I want then it’s just maintaining
Which brush soap brand are you using? I think you mentioned you get everything from kleen-rite before. Also what tip color did you find that works the best for it?
@@CarWashChronicles we bought a laundromat back in July last year. Did part owner financing, working on get his loan paid off and want to start exploring our next options. Seems so hard to get that amount of money saved up.
@@CarWashChronicles thanks m8 ur videos alone have inspired me to invest in a car wash or 2 in Texas everyone always needs a car wash, I'm a auto tech in training I'm 18 but I'd like to save for a car wash eventually and essentially "retire" relatively young but that won't be until I'm very comfortable and can trust my business lol
I will always be interested in what you buy for your car washes. It helps me immensely! Thank you!
I love your videos, you're super underrated. Hoping the best for your businesses and thank you for the content!
Thanks so much. Appreciate it
For silver quarters, they have a very different sound to them. You would definitely hear it stand out from the rest when it is going through your counter.
Interesting. 👍🏻
@@CarWashChronicles You won't get silver quarters through an electronic acceptor unless you've programmed it to take them.
Congrats on the automatic up and running ! Good luck, can’t wait for my purchase to go through !
Thanks you Sam! 👍🏻
Great video. I always appreciate the day in the life and how things work content.
Thank you! Good to know because I feel like it’s not that eventful. Lol
@@CarWashChronicles Ha, that may be true but it’s educational.
@@CarWashChronicles Wait until you've been doing it for 40 years like I have.

Oh nice. That would be an awesome machine to have. Thanks
I'd be willing to bet as many quarters that pass through your hands,some or atleast one was a valuable one!!

No havn’t thought about that
Hey Chris, I love your channel. I always wanted to be a car wash owner someday. I've been washing cars for people for an extra income. I just don't know where to start.
Thanks so much. Start scouting your area
I would never complain about too many quarters my friend!! LOL
🤣🤣

Was that the air compressor I heard when you turned on the brush and dirt remover
Can’t remember. Either that or the flojet pumps. They sound very different as you know
@@CarWashChronicles yep

Have you seen that gas prices where they are currently at have hurt your business? just curious.
Thanks for the cool videos
Hey! Nice. Fingers crossed for you. No I havn’t had any decline in revenue due to gas prices. Just my own wallet is hurt 🤣🤣
Will you go with the subscription model for the auto wash? Get that pre paid money every month!!
I’m currently looking into it. Definitely a great idea. 👌🏻
I noticed that one of your car washes has a soda vending machine. Is that yours?
Great video as always Chris!
After you cover all of your expenses, how do you decide how much of the revenue to keep for yourself as income versus investing into the business?

How do you set up your machine to accept tokens? And where do you order the tokens from?
Did the coin shortage over the last 6 months cause any problem with the quarter dispenser?
Not really. We noticed we came close a few times to getting real low but never ran out. That’s another reason I like using tokens at mine
@@CarWashChronicles why doesn't you uncle use tokens?
Which brush soap brand are you using? I think you mentioned you get everything from kleen-rite before. Also what tip color did you find that works the best for it?
Yes kleen rite soap. And honestly I can’t remember. I’ll have to check what color tip I have in
Is it better to Buy a CarWash or lease it instead bro?
Do you get alot of parts at grainger
Not that much. But they have some good stuff that Home Depot doesn’t so they have been a life saver a few times
Is there a reason why you didn’t go with a touch automatic versus touchless? How did you decide on that brand?
Would rather just high pressure water than Bristol’s hitting the car. And this is the only one that would fit in my narrow bay
I’m interested in the car wash business how do you dictate how much quarters too put back in the quarter machine or too take it too the bank??
Fill up hoppers. Keep 1/4 bucket spare. Rest can go bank
I just bought a car wash. Would you help me get it up and running with some advice? I don’t know much about it and am willing to learn.
congratulations! send me a DM on instagram where I offer phone consultations.
Do all automatics count the number of washes over its life?
Mine does. I’m sure others do to
Did you take out a loan for the new equipment?
No. Used Savings
@@CarWashChronicles we bought a laundromat back in July last year. Did part owner financing, working on get his loan paid off and want to start exploring our next options. Seems so hard to get that amount of money saved up.
Man how much you pay for 20 year of lease for car washing senter
looks funn 😭
I love it! 🤘🏻
Hey man where do u find someone u can trust with all that income to just walk in whenever u ask, is he family?
Comes down to whoever you trust in life. For me that’s family. If I don’t trust anyone in life than I would get it myself 100% of the time.
