Minneapolis area Coin Op Laundry Service for apartment
Hello,
I am in the process of purchasing a 7 unit building that has some old laundry machines in it. The property is in the southwest metro(New Prague) and I would like to replace them. I was thinking of doing it myself, but would be interested in hearing if there are any decent companies that would provide the machines and do the coin collecting.
Thanks in advance!
Adam

I would 100% recommend doing this yourself vs. using a company. I have worked with companies such as coinmach and bds in the past and I have had many, many issues. It was very difficult to get maintenance performed on the machines and also was difficult to get the laundry equipment companies to send out our checks on a regular basis. Additionally you end up losing money due to the fees they charge for their services.
