Sooner As Mac alrdy said used the local county appraisal district website it has owner's name and mailing address. If this is in TX we have great records here and easy to search. PM if you have any questions

LeeD I would start here to see if any of our forum members are in your area and looking to expand to another location....I know I'm always looking. I believe recently Pat sold his washes to another forum member and he mentioned that they met through this site. Secondly, I would look around...

Ill start by saying that I am very very lucky I am located here in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and Kleen Rite has a warehouse 15 mins from me. Having said that, I placed an order for a cold water rinse solenoid repair kit for my GC vales and they told me they HAD to ship them direct to me vs...

If you can deal with the owner direct I would recommend that because very few agents know how to establish a value on car washes. In an earlier post I gave you the story of my first purchase, I started by speaking with the agent but once I located the bank who owned the wash I went to their...

You never know until you ask.....little downside risk.....owner could get offended by a "low ball" offer but that can be mitigated....and in the end isnt that what investing is about mitigating risk while maximizing upside potential? First wash I purchased cost $795,000 to build in 2002....sold...

Sounds like there is potential and worth looking into and I'm not opposed to buying car washes that are underperforming....both my washes were when I purchased them (1st one out of foreclosure and 2nd location owner just wanted to take the cash and didnt care about the business, property, etc)...

Came to right place for opinions on the subejct....In the interest of time.....$8000 Income/$90,000 purchase price is 8% return on investment.....I'd walk right there. Not worth my time the stock market has proved to return almost that (7%) since its inception. Unless you know something that...

@ Ryko CS thanks I will recheck and post some pictures as well

I have checked the brush arms and yes they are slightly off but I don't think it would be enough to cause that much stress to break that flange. What do you guys think or what have you seen? @Diamond I don't think they are slamming into the rubber stopper but I am trying to upload a video to...

1200 PSI with 2505 tips

I'm guessing he hit the "M" instead of the "K" right above the M on the keyboard bc if its 300 Million my goodness share the secret sauce please

Hey guys I have a Softgloss Maxx and this is going to be the second gear box flange that I have to replace in a matter of 2 months. The first time I replaced the whole gearbox/flange and the second time I just replaced the flange since the gear box is in good working condition. Seems to be a...

LAF Sounds like you are going to need a partner or hire someone for the daily part of this because even if you drop the 70 to 100K to revamp the place you will still have breakdowns and repairs why....because people dont care and are always tearing things up. As far as daily at the very...

Ditto as above but at one wash I can get $1 another $.75 and always refilling the vendor

They say suckers are born everyday....and if someone is willing to fork up some major coin for a wash well......sit back and watch it and when the bank takes it back someone will be there waiting for their spot at the table to talk. Value is so subjective what someone thinks is worth a million...

FastLane just curious what part of the country your located? I'm down here in Tx and if you read on this forum we are cheaper than most members on here. I think your real issue is that it sounds like you just re-opened this wash and you want to get word out and business back. I was in the...

Thanks guys for the pictures. Going to try as well

Robert I had a similar situation happen to me on my coleman system. In my case I had just changed the marathon motor on the stand. Did you change the motor or pro con pump in your foam brush system recently? My solution in my case was to change to slow blow fuses as with most all motors...

Can someone post of a picture please. Been in the game going on 5 years but still consider myself a newbie and always looking to improve operations and/or customer experience. What you say Paul makes sense to me now I would like to see how some you seasoned guys do it so that I can replicate...

Why or how did the seller manage to pay $250,000 for this wash? Assuming it was doing better than the numbers your showing or at least I hope so, but then sell it for $93,000??? Like Mep already said what's the plan to increase revenue? What competition is in the area? Don't get me wrong I'm...
