Want to become a Self-Serve Car Wash owner and build an empire to financial freedom?
Get the step-by-step course and learn how!
Built from the ground up, this is the Car Wash Chronicles, your go-to channel to learn everything on self-serve car washes.
All the way from Australia, I was looking to escape the 9-5 rat race. Fast forward to today, I now own five of my own car washes, and continue to buy, invest, and will be uploading videos on how I did it along the way.
Ive always been into building many streams of passive income having learned from mentors like Rich Dad Poor Dad's Robert Kiyosaki. I read many finance books since the age of 15 and after chasing my other dreams from a career in the WWE and became one of Hollywoods top bodyguards to A-list celebrities I then decided to go back to what I had learnt when I was a young boy..Build many streams of income starting with the self serve car wash business.

With the insane inflation from the terrible leadership in America, it is now $7 for 8 minutes at Crew Car wash now. Insane price for such little time.
I am a carwash distributer in your area for both Belanger and Pdq, There is a lot of assumption even in the replies on this page about which is better and will this clean or will this scratch. The easiest answer is that it comes down to the owner/ operator. I can get a touchless car wash to clean but the operator needs to keep it that way. Most of the complaints about a touchless not cleaning are due to operators not understanding the chemistry or not wanting to pay what it costs to get there. The easiest place for operators to help their bottom line is in the chemical cost as electricity, water and sewer are somewhat fixed. Many operators will thin out the chemical to the point where it doesn't work and then their car counts start to drop as well. You end up choosing a point that is good enough as a trade off for one car in the bay for twice as long or twice the cost of chemical or is a 90% clean acceptable. In cloth washes most of the In Bay Automatics use soft neoprene almost like a wet suit and the issue with scratching is two things, one what was on the vehicle before you that is now on the cloth or how long since it was cleaned and are they using the correct soap, again cutting corners on the soap causes problems. I believe that in one of your other videos you showed your entry unit and it may have been a wash select 2 or a portal, the wash select 2 is toward the end of its life cycle and the portal has replaced it as Unitec's stand alone entry unit. The c-start you were looking at at both of the locations in this video are a stripped down model similar to the portal for gas stations or anywhere that doesn't want or require the extra features of a portal, Both are made by Unitec so it is very similar to what you have. In the world or in bay automatics traditionally the big three have been ryko, mark 7 and Pdq. feel free to message me if you have any questions.
Love the series! Someone I know that is homeless showers at one of your car washes.
😂
Was that 61k in profit or sales?
What about after expenses?
How much profits after expenses
Ya comprende😅
You’re welcome 😤🫵🏼
It is very simple. Touch will usually give you a cleaner car and touchless helps preserve your finish.
How much could be the average monthly bill? Water and electricity
My concern is how much are the monthly bills
Very pleased you are doing well Chris, kind regards to you and take care, Mark for the U.K. 🇬🇧😀👍
This is the first video I have seen of you and it's 2 years old. Why are you listening to a blow hard KING . If he is a King Bajillionair then why is he f****g around with you tube? He's a prancing rooster. And yea just put all that equipment on the curb. What a great business plan. Never heard you ask the question WHY is that location dead? I think the vending machines are empty for a reason. Also you raised NO concern that the owners riveted steel plates to the change machine. I'll take it ...SOLD to the Aussie.
I love to see all the soap. I would've washed out the wash brush with the high pressure soap before using them to wash the car and to get the tires washed.
Chris, Are the vacuums for sale in the equipment room? Can pick up.
I work my way up from being a oil lube guy to drain the cars to being superintendent
I have 15 years experience working at that type of car wash. Honestly you would probably have to put everything brand new or semi-used and charge $8 a car wash because if you charge any more than that you're not going to make any customers but you will make your money back. It will take you about a year so $8 a car wash for a regular $10 for the middle and if they want the ultimate 15 bucks which includes armor All on the dash and tires
Ok
how much is did you invest in the business?
Awesome success! How many transactions? Or estimated cars? % cash vs credit?
Congratulations on your success so far Chris. I'm glad everything is working out well for you. Still haven't got one yet but soon hopefully.
Right On! Great update, now that you own the land under the wash. That means no more rent/lease raises for years to come. All being said, there will be minimum fluctuation in your overhead costs. 😎
The most washed Tacoma in the world
What presoak do you use? Mine is a powder mix presoak... it does amazing job, but I'd love to have a foamier option.
Warsaw makes really good pre-soaked and you could buy a low pressure system from clean write 1700 bucks
We're you able to buy this one or was it a lease?
Please change your background on your channel, please
Time to throw out some stuff in the motor room :P Grinds my gears all the time but i guess its a job issue
Would love to see the motor rooms clean. Don't think i'v seen a single carwash with a nice clean organised motor room /office. would be a great video series re doing those rooms.
CCTV machine should be rack mounted and secured up on the wall along with the screen. Clean up and re do the shower and toilet facilities , make a kitchen (small) Staff will take pride in their work when their environment is clean and of high standard. My OCD , I would last 5 mins of working there before I started doing the improvement my self. it's kinda fun to be honest seeing the end result.
On the verge of buying my first car wash and just heard the floor drains are clogged. Going with my pressure washer and jetter after work. I’ve for real never been so excited to go clear a damn drain…
Congrats! The fun jobs but once the mud is clear or whatever is blocking and see all the water flow through it’s awfully satisfying
Because I’m already watching Danny’s stream to learn how to get free laundromat; if your method is get free car wash I am in
I’m 5 car washes in and yet to actually purchase a car wash business. Purchase land at Land value only or long term lease with zero purchase price for the biz
Have you used Danny Diangelo’s system, getting car washer for free if it is I Am interested
1st weres my cookie
Chocolate or white macadamia?
@@CarWashChronicles both lets get nutz
Here is what you need to understand about a touchless wash. You need three things to properly wash any car, water (for obvious reasons), friction (to loosen/remove the dirt) and chemicals ( to dissolve and dislodge the grim/dirt). If you have any one of the above three missing, you will need more of the other two. So in a touchless wash you have no Friction therefore you need harsher chemicals to dislodge and remove the grim/dirt. This is terrible on the paints finish and will erode clear coat finishes over time in addition to dulling the paint. You car will also not be as clean as despite the use of harsher chemicals (very harsh), without the agitation of the soft cloths to dislodge the grim, it tends to remain on the car. Hope this helps.
Have you ever looked into the car wash machines off of Alibaba
I do not understand why you operators cant not understand why making videos showing how much money you have onsite is a good thing. Having been in the carwash repair industry for over 30 years I can tell you all you really have done is put an idea in criminals heads, and these people will do 20k worth of damage for 2 dollars.

Awesome Video Brother! Hello From Vancouver,Canada
The Quarter for 40 seconds isn't that bad of an idea.... Maybe you just want to spray off your floor mat from a spilled drink. Or spray out the bed of a truck or uHaul rental trailer. When you aren't looking to do a true "wash"... Just rinse & go. Versus needing to spend $5 just to get the system started (here in my city that's the average).
Great works Chris First Class presentation. - shame you never got to sit in the Tesla Cyber Truck! Monex guy was great! Trev x
😮, 🎉😂😂😂, some people say truck washes don't make much? I don't see why not, I saw a car / truck wash 3 bays for cars ,2 for truck's and they were always busy👍, that had to make 2-3 thousand a week 😁
I loved the outdoor singing performance on the first day. The overwhelming scale of sonnys, tommys and ncs was amazing
goodness your wife is such a lucky woman. lol you know what i mean.
What do you say to people who say the self serve car wash industry is dying? Theres these fancy membership touchless washes which are nice but I feel like there always will be a spot for self serve. Curious your take
LIke the video people!
The UNICORN at 6:11 was the highlight for me!!! Cool vid CA, keep em going!!!
THe word you're looking for is PERPENDICULAR, mate.
I’m looking at a 6 bay that appears to have suddenly closed locally but have not contacted owner yet. What is the average revenue per bay and vacuum on a carwash that has all your upgrades?
I've been told the national average is around $1200/bay/month. But if you're the best in town, you have good chemicals, and your equipment works consistently, you could be looking at $4000-$4500/bay/month. Based on conversations with distributors so take that with a pinch of salt
Gotta be the WEIRDEST ideas for a channel I ever heard of. I had to subscribe. How much different can they be?
He is full of great info and his videos are pretty entertaining too!
