    1 Year Anniversary! Not Bankrupt Yet!

    I recently celebrated my first year in the business! One of the first things I did after we closed on the wash was increase prices to what I thought the market would bear.

    AC 8001 with NAYAX?

    Kondor Longevity

    Single arm installed 10 months ago. Current wash count is about 6k cycles. With proper maintenance, how long do these generally last? I know that there are a lot of variables, but just want to hear what a reasonable number is. Hopefully it's not 6,001 LOL!
