Testimonial #1
“Express Tunnel Testimonial / EVD-3”
The EVD-3 was originally installed on the end vacuum bay (photo65) and only one customer had access to it. It has now been moved so that 2 vacuum bays have access.(Photo105) It is making even more money with more customer access. The vacuum hose hangers prevented the EVD-3 from being installed at the proper height ; so they were EXTENDED. (Photo101) This unit was installed on a test-trial basis from May 20, 2013 to July 16, 2013. The customer bought the unit July 17. The unit now averages over $5 per day and customer added another unit (Photo106). EVD-3 factory direct price is $2,500. Here are the actual results from the trial:

Fragrance Machine (EVD-3) Test Market at Eco Express Car Wash / Denver
Every car wash owner is always looking for ways to increase revenue and also offer additional services to bring customers on their site. We decided to do an experiment at Eco Express by installing a credit card activated Fragrance dispenser at one of our vacuum stations. This is a standard Fragramatics EVD-3 unit which sprays from a selection of three different fragrances. We have it set up with an Eport credit card reader at $1.25 per vend. We decided not to accept cashto eliminate the need for making change and lower maintenance costs.
After about a month online, we did some monitoring on our camera system to see what percentage of people were using the machine. Over a two day period, 97 people parked in either of the spaces adjacent to the machine. Of those 97, 14 used the machine, or 14%. We also observed some people vacuum several spaces away, then see the fragrance machine and reposition their vehicle just to use the machine.
While we don’t expect to retire on this income, it does appear to be a relatively quick payback and good investment. If you are looking to add revenue and services, review your site to see if a Fragrance machine like this might be appropriate for your wash.
