I would be very very let me repeat very cautious based off: "Neither the owner nor the manager are managing the business for the last 3 years. (this place is run by hourly paid employees only)" I dont know of any business muchless a car wash that runs without an owner and manager. I would park...

Hurley for a better response post your problem(s) I'm sure someone on here can help you work through it. As far as parts KR (KleenRite) should have most of what you will need.

Thats nothing. My first wash has similar tiled walls and they were 10xs dirtier than that and came clean....muratic acid from HD should work as well

How quickly does something like that get broke into? That wouldn't last 1 night at some of my sites.

Hey guys thanks for the replies. It ended up being a bad foot like you all mentioned thanks! @MEP yeah I found out about the soap on this time. I washed it or thought I had washed it thoroughly only to get a solid taste of soap when I went to check it. @Greg so I installed all new foot vales...

Hey guys so I have air getting into my soap supply line that runs into the hydrominder. This is on a Jim Coleman Super Saver system and I have uploaded a video at the link below. This air getting into the supply lines doesn't allow the soap to immediately enter the hydrominder when activated...

I extended one of the center booms in one of my bays and this happened. The single standard boom spring could not support the additional weight. My guys in my shop had to cut the old weld and reinforce the the mounting plate and install another boom spring in order to support the additional...

Busy location means high traffic which means high probability for trash. Excluding what you mentioned going by daily to clean up and check everything I would estimate 2 hrs. If the customers basically use the place as a dump well then could be more. In 2 hrs. I would think you would be able to...

Mister and Zips are going heavy into acquisition mode. I don't know about Zips but I will just say this, you may see Mister start discussing an IPO in the next 2 to 3 years if their plan plays out accordingly.

Since you are an experienced operator I would buy used equipment and rehab it. $20K - 207K per bays yikes! I just rehabbed a 6 bay with used equipment and I am at $30K for everything so far. I say so far because I still need to add a softener and would like a Hamilton DRS changer but probably...

Through my local car wash association (southwest car wash association) I found Midlothian Insurance Co. they saved me a lot of money and I think they saved Sooner a lot as well. Don't know if they go outside the immediate area but maybe is worth a call. Otherwise I would check your local car...

I believe some were posted on another thread

Sounds like there is good potential for this location bc...sandwiched between 2 good retail stores, 400 unit subdivision coming, no competition for 3 to 5 miles and on a busiest intersection....I would rehab it just to inventory the land. I like your idea of $100K to $120K price range thats...

I would do a gut job and start all over personally. I just did with 6 ss only car wash and total cost was $30K for just about everything. This is my 3rd location so 7 years into the business I felt comfortable taking this project on with my warehouse personnel. I also purchased the pump stand...

I had the electronic unit from Jim Coleman you were talking about at one of my locations and like MEP already mentioned it confused the customer A LOT! I kept the foundation or base and put the basica laurel drop down vendors in and problem was solved. I may go to a glass front stand alone...

Typically as a rule we used to say property taxes on all property, residential and commercial, property is going to run about 3% of the taxable valuable set by the county appraisal districts. So a wash valued at $500,000 your looking at around $15K in property taxes....prbly a little less. Tx is...

F) It's pretty difficult to make a profit on a SS-only car wash in urban areas of Texas because of the property taxes. But in TX you can always dispute your tax value to lower your taxes at the end of year. I spent 7 years in this industry lower values and taxes for many clients primarily in...

Pit pumping company and done.

I just finished my remodel and they did my Coleman bay decals and did my Goldline face plate. I am here in the DFW area and they are about 25 mins from me. Yes they are still open my contact is reisa stagraphics.com <reisa@stagraphics.com>
