you've really got to try to get inside the mind of the customer and not be stuck in your own mode of thinking on this. To the customer is $13 really much different from $15? No. They're taking a 10 and a five out of their wallet anyway. If they pay with a credit card there's even less of a...

this is why I am hopefully going to sell my car wash on my own without a realtor someday. My feeling is that all I need is a lawyer. Not too many realtors are going to know their way around the car wash business I'm sorry to say. The ones I've met can barely handle a house sale. Who cares if...

what does a 90° swivel have to do with a stop/backup issue? I doubt that is related in any way...

did they explain to you ahead of time what would be done as part of the service? If so what did they say the job included? What was the price, what kind of vehicle do you have? You're complaining about dust in the vents; that's some thing that is handled with compressed air, general purpose...

these are all great points and I understand all the work that you put into making this place great again. However it doesn't change my opinion that you should forget about token notes and discounts and holiday sales etc. I think you should raise your prices again. Maybe you could justify it with...

I sold Token Notes for years and I was so glad when they were finally phased out. It's just my opinion but your prices are already way too low. They are 15 years outdated at least. To offer more of a discount would be a poor business decision in my mind.

Yes it happened to my Razor. I wound up replacing the stop eyes. I think it happened again and I had the distributor come out. I think he made a minor adjustment to the amp for the eyes. Been fine since. I bought another set of eyes I keep as a backup. I feel like this is a weak point in...

I have not eliminated my cans altogether. I have however reduced down to one trashcan that I put out by my vacuum island. I have four vacuums in two separate areas so one of the vacuum areas has no trashcan. It has definitely helped reduce the overall amount of garbage I collect. People do still...

Your only option is to comply. You can't fight City Hall

I wouldn't buy anything on leased land. Part of the benefit of operating the car wash business over an extended time is to pay off the loan on the buildings, land and equipment. That way at the end of your journey in the car wash business, you have a real asset to sell and make a decent amount...

that looks awesome!!!!

the whole layout looks weird and wrong. i'm no engineer but i doubt this would ever pass the planning board stage. looks like you'd have major traffic flow issues.

It's a nice idea but it's not exactly a viable membership plan strategy. It's more like finding a shiny dime out by the vacuums every once in a while.

usually you can take something non-conductive and push the contactor in that goes to the hp pump in question. that is a quick way to test if the motor and pump are functional.

on my old machine which was different from yours, the ultrasonic sensor measures the vehicle on the first pass. Then the information on distance is used by the wheel count proximity switch for all subsequent passes. Maybe the laser wash is the same. If so, I would check the wheel count Prox...

Update Tightened belt properly; slowdown and squeal gone. Thanks for the great advice!

Update?

volume two: Dear customer: please don't hate me because the Amazon headlights you installed in your truck showed signs of moisture in them after a detail. We didn't "Dial in" on the lights in the washbay when we were washing your vehicle prior to detailing. It's not our fault that your...

Alot of the long term accuracy of the dtc capture rate is about traffic flow, speed limit, egress and visibility. .003 is a number I used in my business plan in 1995. My razor is in its third year of operation. While I am getting close to the number representing .003% dtc, I'm not quite there...

I doubt it's from ceramic. Roughness on car paint is usually brake dust, carbon soot, etc.
