    Late Night Idea - CC Discount

    Two years ago I changed the minimum start time for credit cards to $4. Once in a while a new customer will ask why $4 and I tell them with all the fees involved I can’t make money until then. They understand. I changed the max credit card price from $10 to $9.73 to stop. So if they did not...

    Late Night Idea - CC Discount

    I give no discount for credit cards. I have a lot of credit card users. My cash customers start price is $2.50. If they pay $5 they get 3 FREE minutes. Everybody seems to be happy. Never had any issues.

    Flowjet G57...Viton or Santoprene?

    I agree with MEP. I’ve only used Viton for years. The hoses get hard and are a pain in the butt to work on with Santoprene.

    Options in lieu of Foam Brush for winter

    Back in the late 70’s and 80’s I would take them down when it got really cold and post signs in each bay saying ”All the Foam Brushes took a vacation to Florida until it gets warmer” Customers actually laughed about it and would ask me what part of part of Florida. Now I just leave them out...

    Water / Sewer Spike! WOW!!!

    Maybe you should think about removing the tire shine online and have a specific area that you have an attendant that can apply the tire shine by hand while the customer vacuums. You would get a better job on the wheels and eliminate your problem.

    Magnetic Lock on Equipment Room

    I have on the outside of the door a 5” long 1/4” x 4” wide solid thick stainless steel bar bolted through the door that covers the outside dead bolt that is bolted on the inside of the door in the equipment room. Been doing that at my washes since the 70’s.

    HP Rocker Blasters At Entrance

    I would apply chemical front, side and back as the vehicle starts to enter bay but before the front, rear and rocker panels gets blasted. The chemical needs dwell time.

    Foamy brush winter antifreeze not foaming

    Sounds like an air issue. I would check to make sure the air to each bay is adjusted for the new chemical. Turn the air off all bays, turn first bay foam brush chemical on full, then slowly turn air valve on, check bay for foam, if little/no foam add a little more air until you get the foam you...

    blaming your president

    One man or one country no matter how powerful they may be could not and can not fix this by themselves. This is a WORLDWIDE issue. Trying to find fault or blame isn’t the issue. Finding a cure is.
