Were they busy? If they were busy maybe there's a lesson we could learn. We pay Credit Card fees vs. ATM fees being paid to us. I bet the restaurant owner owned the ATM too.

Where did you get them? How many light fixtures per bay? What did you have before? I'm out of questions for now

That's funny Robert. Back in the 80's I had a customer that had a Ram Charger that we charged $1 extra. He washed it and didn't complain about the extra $1. He came back with his wifes car which was a VW bug and wanted to pay $1 less since it was smaller. He wasn't a problem but he wanted to...

I have a glass block wall in my equipment room facing outside so there is not any additional water conditions concerning the bay/tunnel. I will tell you for certain that glass walls are not "trouble free". I have several that have over time collected water inside the block, many that show water...

This works great. You can get it at Home Depot or Lowes. I also use it on locks that won't open. http://www.blastercorp.com/

Waxman just make sure the powder stays in a soluble solution otherwise it will eventually clog your lines. Make sure you have a barrel mixer such as http://www.kleen-ritecorp.com/p-2381-electric-barrel-mixer.aspx to keep it agitated.

Cheapest advertising you can do. The customers LOVE all the soap. Customers benefits with a clean car from all the soap. And most of all it usually takes customers more time to rinse off all the soap which equals MORE money to you for them to clean the car. Don't penny pinch.

2Biz is the model you have T-H3-DV-N Indoor Tankless High Efficiency Condensing Water Heater (NG)? If so this one says "Indoor". Just to clarify for me you have both your hot water to your chemicals and the underground connected to one tank? Thanks

Waxman you might be right but I wonder what it would cost considering it would already have the electronic acceptor. I would include it with my Shurvend forming a larger vending area. I think that having a large seperate Little Tree vender with all of it's visual advertising would actually help...

Off subject but I wish that Laurel or whoever makes the Little Tree vendors would make a 10 to 15 selection vendor.

Interesting that with all the replies so far only 2 mentioned raising prices after all the improvenments. This could be a microcosm of our industry. After all these years in the car wash business some things never change...NOT RAISING PRICES. My family has been in the full service car wash...

Check your strainer either at the bottom or side of your soap tank. Might be clogged.

Car washes... what a stinking business Why are you reading an LA news site?

I liked this sign (reduced the Font size on lower section of sign) but added: "Loose Moldings" "Bike. Tow and Snow Racks/Acc's." "Vehicles Lowered" "Running Boards" NO ALL EXCESSIVE MUD, ICE, SNOW ALLOWED

I spray painted (red) $50-100 worth of quarters for my attendant to use to wash down the bays, for refunds and to make sure the coin slots weren't jammed. This way I just recycled the quarters weekly.

Waxman I have learned a long time ago that when I put to many fingers into to many pies the quality of work went down. Overall my managers/employess slacked off. Like the other poster I've read almost all your posts over the years and it seems to me that your concern for customer approval is top...

Have you tried this? I have one from AVW that oscillates that's 15" past my final rinse and 10' before my main blowers. Might help. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4U90EcshXw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13Fqulty5BY
