Today's game of dismantling a self-washer。
We have two self-help washing machines in the corner of the garage. No one's watching, just two machines, one water gun and one foam gun. Put a two-dimensional code next to it and the sweep will work。
Guess what those two machines make in a year? At least 200,000. Really。
I didn't believe it either. Then i went down there for a few days, and i made a deal。
How does it work? Scanning, choosing mode, flushing three, foam two, vacuuming two. Washing a car, operating properly for $78,000. The car wash outside at least 30。
I spent a weekend in the afternoon. Eleven cars arrived in two hours. Most of them are suvs. Wash them carefully. Ten bucks. Two hours of running water is almost $100. Eight hours a day, $400. Two machines are 800. Twenty-four thousand a month. Nearly 300,000 water flows a year。
There is no problem in making a net profit of $200,000 by eliminating utilities, maintenance and rental of premises。
I was thinking, how come people don't take money
Then i went through the doorway for a few days。
Let's start with location. This car wash is in the corner of the garage, not very visible. But it's very close to the owner's parking space. You park your car from work, you're going upstairs with something. Take it easy. A few minutes. You'll have to drive to the car wash outside, wait in line for half a day. Down here, it's too much。
It's a big neighborhood, with over 2,000 homes, about half of the cars. There is no second self-washing vehicle in the vicinity of three kilometres. He picks this neighborhood, and it's like he's surrounded by the 1,000 owners. Then they wanted to come in? No place。
How many more sets do you want? They're selling the parking lot。
Say the cost. It doesn't have to be seen, so the machine collects the money. The boss says he goes there once a week, collects the money in the cash box and makes up for the foam. It's only for two hours, four trips a month. Manual money is almost zero. Water and electricity are also not expensive, and washing a car costs approximately $2 or $3. 00 of electricity and water。
The most annoying thing is the rent he talks to the property. It's not monthly, it's subdivided. Every wash, a dollar for the property. The property can get money without a penny, of course. So, he's barely fixed. When there's no business, he barely pays. The risk is very low。
There's another locker trick. The machine is loaded, 100 to 20, 200 to 50. The first time back was basically not enough, but the second time and the third time. Why? It's convenient. It's normal. As soon as you charge the money, you hang it with him. You don't want to go anywhere else。
I've estimated that two machines pick up 40 cars a day, 1,200 a month. The full conversion rate is almost 30%. The light is worth $230,000 a month. The client can use the money slowly, and he can carry the change first。
Then you're gonna have to ask, how come nobody's doing it? I'm telling you, for two reasons。
First one, good spot taken. Car washes make no money. They are not machines, they are sites. The parking garage is so well-placed that it is close to the parking lot and easy to move up and down. Whoever took it, there's no place for the others。
Second, a lot of people can't. Feel a few bucks for a little business, shame. But think about it. He earns $200,000 a year. Can you save $200,000 a year
That is why sometimes the cheapest businesses make the most money。
Do you have a self-washer like this in the neighborhood? Have you used the comment section。
