I'm turning 66 years old in a couple of months and sold my 5/1. The sale is closing today. I want to thank everyone who contributes to this site for making it an excellent resource for operators. Over the last 11 years I've found other operators go our of their way to help anyone here who needs help. There are a handful of seasoned experts whose knowledge has been rewarding to those in a bind. Know that the thoughtful help and input provided by everyone has been appreciated a lot by me. I do my best to try and "pay it forward" especially in our industry. Good luck, good car wash weather and good profits to everyone!

Good Luck!

So that means I have a benchmark to retire in 11 years!

I’ve got you by a couple of years and I don’t have any intentions of selling out just yet, who knows maybe someone will make me an offer I can’t refuse. I’ve got a couple of car wash operators I do bill changer repairs for who are in their 80’s. One sold out when he was 70 and couldn’t stand the boredom and bought another car wash, he’s 87 now still going at. Keep yourself active and enjoy your retirement.

There's at least one person on this forum who will envision the scene of Andy crawling out of the sewer pipe.
