If the owner wants to make the most money from the automatic bay, they should consider switching to a mini tunnel. They cost more to put in, but have significantly better throughput and require no additional time for extra services.

Having a touchless system is, if anything, a disadvantage. Touchless systems cannot clean as well and are extremely slow. With the proper marketing, a low-traffic site can become a high-volume one. Not to mention you can offer more expensive washes and unlimited plans.

SF Car Wash Channel But there are so many people who don’t want a soft touch wash. People think it scratches their car. I live down the street from a Mark VII Choicewash XT, and people almost always choose the touchless option. And the advantage of in-bay systems is space. Their footprint is much smaller than a mini tunnel, and they are cost effective towards most gas stations, because you don’t need an attendant. And above that, even if it’s slower, they can still get away with the $9-$10 wash options, because they do an okay job. And another advantage is having doors, especially if you live in a winter state. I live in Minnesota, and almost all of the washes up here are in-bay because of that. A tunnel a few miles away from my house operates until the temperature reaches 34°F, which is pretty pathetic to be honest. On the contrary, the Choicewash XT down the street, which is an in-bay system, can operate until the temperature reaches -5°F, which is so much better than the tunnel, because of how much salt can end up on your car

My guess is that the owner has a replacement system on standby and is no longer maintaining it because of that. This system is probably in its final operation days and the owner is just wearing it out while the new system gets prepared and delivered. But, if that is the case, then the owner DOES need to lower the prices by about $3 or $4 each.
