    Car wash canopies Jim Lewis

    I have 2 very nice canopies i may sell. They survived an F4 tornado. Our roof was ripped off & 1 brick wall knocked down. But the canopies made it.

    Biz Opp…!

    I had a detailer use my wash once. I wound up hiring him as my full/part time guy. He took care of the place, was around all the time while detailing, & he was also my employee.

    Should I lease a new IBA system?

    Dan knows his stuff. But I bet in most areas, you could get a new IBA w/ Paystation & dryers for under $300 + $25 to install.

    Should I lease a new IBA system?

    Find out who the owner is. See if he would consider a lease, or lease to own. Are there any other tunnels nearby, & if so how busy? I think the busier the better. If there are tunnels, then put in a touchless. You can find decent touchless for a reasonable price. Id suggest find some...

    Saw a great idea for ALL IBAs
