increasing income at my wash

[Ric]

I would look to make sure that your wash is energy efficient. Meaning lights, eliminating weep water, floor heat set correct. In this day of car washing sometimes you need to figure out ways to save money.

Tell us more about eliminating weep water. Are you using the system made in Frankenmuth, MI ? I saw that at the Northeast show last week.

I am using the count up method for credit cards. I have large signs and new boxes from ethwoh valley. Credit cards in my self serve bays just don't seem to be doing much business. Some months my CC sales don't even cover the cost of the CC service and phone line. Hopefully they will pick up as word gets around. I am the only one in town that has them.

I know I was - when gas was at its peak price I would have to restart the pump to fill my truck because they were set at a $75 peak.

This amount can be set by the station owner . It limits the exposure for chargebacks on stolen cards.

One reason gasoline retailors have no sympathy for carwashers who complain about credit card fees and costs.

No problem will do..if we keep getting these 70 degree days during the end of October we might not need weep.
