I'm in Ft Worth more often than not referred to as N Tx where are you located?

The entire plaza is 24.23 acres and the assessment office has it valued at $63,200. We are located on 1.2% of that land - that's where we are struggling to come up with a realistic number. Personally I wouldn't put much weight on the assessments office value...more than likely they wrong. I...

How many do you need? Do you need just the safe head? Or the dial too?

Yes it is, same city but far enough away. Didn't you own that one in your early days?

Well here is my homeless story Had a guy frequenting the wash and living out of the back storage units. He would show up with a fake skull on a stake and put it in customers faces and tell them he was the angle of death and if they didn't give him money he would come for their souls.....no...

FULL DISCLOSURE: This isn't any of my washes but just another story involving a car wash https://www.ksat.com/news/local/2021/04/07/shootout-on-nacogdoches-follows-dispute-at-north-side-car-wash-sapd-says/

STA Graphics here in Dallas, Texas is a good source and often mentioned on this forum

I believe expenses are area specific, but generally I would estimate they run 35-45% gross income. I have seen this down here in Texas at the deals I have looked at over the years. I would agree with everyone his expenses are not accurate OR.....his income isn't accurate! You said you have...

Check with your local car wash association they normally have a good provider I know ours does here in the southwest

That's a busy 4+1 should be easy to verify. Go by on the weekend and a couple of weekdays place should be humming right along. If it's not I would be very suspicious. Of course get tax returns etc. all the good stuff

So then $112,500 per yr for $500K sounds like a good deal. Trust but verify....water bills, go by the place on a sunny Saturday

I used Jon last year on a cat 5CP head. When I got it back I put the head on my busiest bay to see if it can take the abuse and so far so good. I would recommend him.

Last 2 yrs gross $225,... Per year $225K gross or last 2 yrs combined $225K which would be $112,500/yr If it's the latter it's a good deal no need to proceed with caution if it's the former hell of a deal almost too good to be true

Last wash I bought was a complete rehab but a couple things I didn't get around to, lighting was one of them. Will be doing that soon as I have already replaced the lighting at my other locations

Well I am not a full time car wash owner like most here its more of a hobby (investing in real estate opportunities) but I do enjoy it and enjoy being at any of the washes, working on things, and interacting with the customers. Fulltime I run our family business selling oilseed machinery and...

Thanks for the feedback! @I.B. that was the thread I was looking for bc I remember the discussion but I must have searched it wrong.

Have JC Super Savers at the washes and just wondering if you veteran guys have any tricks to tighten up the pump/motor belts? Typically for me it's a 2 man job someone behind the stand pushing on the back of pump while another tightens up half inch bolts on the front of the stand. Any better...

David I agree with what Greg said....good chemistry can go a long way. Personally your better off overhauling the unit than buying a new one or at least that's how I would approach it. Change the look get it cleaning cars really well then run free washes for the weekend to get the publics trust...

Agree with Mep. I am in Texas as well running 3 JC pump stands and already replaced 3 check valves because they froze and got shot. Along with that you may have replace the seal kit in the pump as well. I had similar problem replaced the check valve then had to replace the seal kit.

You watch CNN..........
