    Why do you own a car wash?

    Seven years ago I went to an auction for fun and to watch since a carwash was a unique property. I had checked out the place in person and looked up the land (assessed) value. Place had good (building) bones but was a disaster. I thought I would lower my hand when the place reached the...

    Sales drop - is this why?

    In MD Costco is $3.35 and outside the box store it is $3.45.... In Europe and Scandinavia it is $7-$8/ gal but almost all cars are hybrid (getting 50 miles/gal) or electric (getting 100 miles/gal). People still get their cars washed (but all washes I recently saw were located at gas...

    New chemistry that I almost passed on - then WOW

    Who makes Prism and Zenith? We use ChemQuest and have been experimenting with Plazma. Will try the LiftOff with our next order. Select and Release have been good but always looking to improve the wash outcome.

    Anyone using the Hamilton App?

    Any idea what software was recently updated for the app? What version is the latest? Was the app updated or some Hamilton controller software or something in the DAN system?

    Anyone using the Hamilton App?

    No change and no indication that anything will change. That being said I would not base a commander purchase decision solely on the app. Depends on the features of a Paystation you seek, but I am sure you are doing so since conducting research. Good luck.

    Any Self-Serves for sale in Greater Cincinnati area?

    Evaluate the location, building, and equipment. Expenses that are high may be the sign of a poor operator or a water line that is broken. my first wash was purchased at an auction. Based on the cash flow (less than your number) I overpaid by a huge amount (about the ask price above). All the...

    Looks nice. Unfortunately cannot find it for sale anywhere. Odd.

    Any Self-Serves for sale in Greater Cincinnati area?

    You should not jump to conclusions about the wash. While on a cash flow basis the asking price seems high depending on the details it might be a good value. It may have good equipment and a bad/absent operator. Do an evaluation as overpaying (based on CF) for a great location makes more...

    Paint inside Self Serve Bays

    Swimming pool paint seems to last. We touch it up once every other year. Ask your local paint shop expert as they should know the mix and type.

    Parking lot omelets!

    Did you try the extra strong Goof Off? Gets a lot off of equipment. What a waste of eggs.

    CryptoPay Set Up/ Worldpay

    I would install the swipers and tap normally before trying to solve a problem you have no idea if real or just potential. WorldPay had my site running in less than a week. Their support is poor and website is hard to navigate until you have spent a little time on it but as mentioned once...

    Things Just Got Real

    You are lucky, my lab will not enter any of my equipment rooms as they can get noisy with the equipment working. He knows when we are nearing one of the washes. He likes greeting customers but does not like the noise. He parks himself outside the ER door or in a bay if I park inside a bay.

    New to industry - 4 bay SS purchase

    You would pay 3x Revenue for a place that probably is 10-25 years old. Say you paid $240K and everything needed to be updated at some point in the near future. Would the enhancements be $260K? Based on the list you provide I could see the expenses being close to $160K if you hired someone to...

    Anyone using the Hamilton App?

    No notice. I like Hamilton Paystation for its simplicity and their tech people are great if the issue is a known problem or a local configuration problem. I find them lack g in customer support when I compare them to ICS. I pay Hamilton twice the amount paid to ICS to get less functionality...
