my razor is set to start the next wash as The vehicle begins to exit the bay. It definitely makes throughput about a minute faster which on a busy day makes a big difference. Since customers really value speed, it makes my wash seem faster to the customer. We offer a towel dry station at no...

Another benefit of detached dryers is that there is far less weight rolling back and forth on the machine. To me this equates to alot less wear and tear on rollers, bearings and gear boxes. I love my Superior free standing dryers. I've had the same ones since 2006 and have replaced one...

you could fill in the hole and put an AMS Machine on the ground in front of where the hole was. I doubt they're going to discontinue those machines anytime soon since they're literally all over the world. I bought a used one many years ago and besides installing a new chiller unit it's been very...

The customer wants easy,good, and fast. They require convenience and quality. Look at things from the customers' perspective. One thing I learned is you have to make it super easy or you will lose customers. Raise your prices enough so you can achieve better profitability and you won't be...

what about a big in-line filter or even two or three on the main waterline? I have well water at my wash in addition to city water. My well line has a big filter on it that I change every three months. It's always plenty dirty at the change interval. My razor has three pre-filters on the pump...

My partner in my used car business bought a gates portable crimper. he has tractors and a firewood processor that use hydraulic hose so he wanted to be able to make his own. I looked for a long time for a 3/8 die to use with his portable crimper but every place seemed to be on back order until...

I post my cell phone number but hardly get any calls on it ever. I do get messages at the detail shop sometimes. The last one was a customer complaining that his credit card never works in my bays. My detail shop manager had already explained to him the reasons that some of the cards don't...

I get that sometimes too. The last person that lost a nice set of mats because they spaced out and left them behind asked me "what are we going to do about this"??? WE!!!???

It doesn't seem like you'd ever need to pay somebody to work on a softener. It's two tanks and a head on mine. I replaced a leaking tank once and that's about it. The hardest thing was moving the old one with all the heavy wet sand in it. Other than that there was nothing to it. I used to shy...

far too slow due to frequent rains...

I'm getting $5/ start, $1/minute so no way.

A lot of the revenue Potential has to do with your automatic. Once you know the condition of that you can predict your level of through put Capabilities.

i have done it with 9's and other numbers and in my business it makes no difference, other than me getting an extra dollar. Add in the fact that over 50%+ pay credit and it matters even less.

68 Camaro I'd probably use the wash mitts. F2 50 nylon brush all the way

what kind of automatic? Take some better pictures of everything and post them here. What are the demographics. What is the daily traffic count? Where is the wash located? What is the competition? What do they charge? Does the permit transfer if a new owner takes over? are the utilities in place...

I'm halfway through the year and over 50% of customers are selecting ULTIMATE.

My shurvend was not accepting coins properly; nickels going into dime tube, quarters going into dollar coin tube, etc. I went to the manual for the MARS coin acceptor and found the info I needed. There are multiple different configurations you can get the coin cassettes in. Mine was...

I use only nylon brushes in my bays. I also use them on my broomsticks to hand wash vehicles for our detail shop. If they're good enough on the nicest vehicles going through our detail shop then they're good enough for the car wash customers. The nylon wears much better and has a much better...

It's a Maytag.

I bought one of those fancy new top loaders without the agitator and had nothing but problems with it. What a piece of junk. It was a Maytag. Right around the time that I threw it out in the front yard, I picked one up for free at the dairy farm up the street. I'm still using the farmers old...
