It’s really getting annoying. One of my 2 is a really busy 4/2. Tunnel coming on another road behind behind 2 miles away, probably be open by end of summer. The annoying part is I heard it’s a lawyer building hence they know nothing about carwashing other than what distributors tell them...
It’s not even a question to think about unless they cut the price in 1/2 because that’s how much revenue will be lost. Almost guaranteed owner(s) knew this was coming
So think of it this way. Most likely scenario, This guy probably has the place paid for and is bleeding it dry and to lazy or tired to keep the place looking and running the way it should. If the place was busy the other 3 bays would be open .. You’re gonna dump a 💩load of money to fix a...
No plumbers I know clean pits and the pits should be the least of your concerns. Whats the reason the other 3 bays not operating ?? What’s the equipment look like? Is the oil change part of the lease or is it just the Self serve? Most importantly what’s the revenue and how much does he want...
As mentioned above, unless you work on EVERYTHING yourself you better find a distributor/ tech who is close. It will make a huge difference in your down time
There really are some idiots out there. I had one of my machines down waiting for a part. I had 2 big a** cones in front of the paystation. Lady put money in , drive over the cones and into the bay. I had taken a valve off that was hooked to a high pressure line. Water went everywhere but...
Good question, one wash I have a touchless that I run through regularly, the other wash I have friction and friction/touchless combo and sometimes friction doesn’t take off eyebrow
I agree, like everyone here I’ve tried numerous chemicals and driven through lots of touchless washes. Currently using quest. I think I read on here one time someone said they could pass a white glove test w their chems. I’ll never believe it til I see it.
Obviously the exterior you will want new, meter doors , booms , all new hose etc . It is much easier to start w all new but I personally would see if the motors and pumps are working.
Nothing wrong w you wanting fix that place up. My advice is if you are moving forward is to tell the current owner that is not a business. It’s a shell of what used to be a business. If you make an offer get the tax records on the property because that is what you are buying. Good advice...
It’s always going to happen. When they pull in we give them “ the talk “. I tell them I want their business but they have to clean up the mess and explain the reasons why. If they act like 💩 heads I’ll tell them to leave.
