Hello! I've been in the car wash game for a while but lately started questioning how pricing works across different areas. Some places charge a lot, others barely anything. I figured I should ask around and see how everyone sets their rates. Came across this community and figured there's no harm in getting a fresh perspective!
 
Do you have a big car wash with people doing the car, or is it just one where the vehicle can be pulled through?
 
Good question to clarify. It's actually neither. We run classic self serve bays where the customer is in the driver's seat. That's why the start up cost and per minute rate are the name of the game for this model.
