Why would I fix parts on a 15 year old vehicle that the dealer will only cover for 3 years? I am tired of someone coming in with an old car that is falling apart and doesnt understand if something breaks. If it is something we clearly broke we will fix it, but some cars are past their prime.

We want to add to our disclaimer that we will not be responsible for damage to vehicles 10 years or older. Does anyone have anything like this? I would love to see a photo.

I have one sonnys, one belanger, 2 PECO tunnels and building another PECO. PECO has been great to work with and I think it is one of the best looking tunnels. Tommy looks great, but have heard some horror stories. This is just hearsay though. My distibutor out of Atlanta has been great.

I have read it, I just want to see some in action. I contacted you for references, but you stated your clients are confidential. I have no problem with that. I just want to see some actually process cars before making such a big investment.

What about any full service washes that have converted? Being a conversion myself, I would love to see one. I will not be able to build the big indoor detailing area. We will have about 8-10 parking spots covered w/ a canopy. It will be an island with angled parking. We could do drive through...

Anyone know of any good Flex serves in the southeast I could check out? I have 3 full serves and one express in North Florida and ready to make the switch(full serves). I would love to look at a few before I jump into it. I did buy the book, but want to see in action.

Maybe a 4 multiple if you back out the dirt and plug in a land lease cost. There are investors out there looking for a 15% return on the money. Just have to find them.

I think gas prices will effect us more than anything except the weather.

We use Nationwide, was with Travelers. It went way down. We are on their prferred list and it helps. We do get audited.

I have sent the city many nasty emails. I have also sent them for the these hand wash staions that pop up in random parking lots which are not for charity. It is unbelievable that they are allowed to remain open.

We had success with coupon codes if you use a paystation. Students love them.

How long did it take to convert the customers. What equiptment did you add? POS? I have 3 full serves and would love to convert to express. Small lots, I could have about 8-10 vac spots.

There usually is an impact mark in the window. There usually is a mark on the hood in front of it where a rock hit the hood and came up to the windshied. I have never had a customer argue when I show them this.
