    Customers and phone number requests

    when it comes right down to it you have to sell the customer what they want not what you want. I don't want a bunch of extra texts and calls during the week. It's too much. How effective are these SMS marketing plans anyway? I don't use any of that to get customers to my car wash now. I...

    What is this?

    I think he was merely pointing out how bird droppings are acidic and can etch exterior surfaces on a vehicle. Did you try the 0000 steel wool and windex and if so what was the result?

    What is this?

    It could be cherry juice or similar tree drips. It's kind of difficult to say, considering the fact that it's impossible to say what environmenal conditions the vehicle was exposed to. It's kind of like saying " what made me catch a cold?"

    Mark VII GTO-300 got hit

    you may be able to take some thing like a house jack and insert it in between the bent sections and use some wood as spacers to straighten out the bent frame. I did something like that when my mat brusher machine was hit by a customer car and I got it pretty straight. If that doesn't work out...

    PC based payroll Program

    I use paychex. I did my own payroll for years and was never completely in sync with what the state and federal said I owed. I was always playing catch up and then I would suddenly have a credit that would need to apply somewhere.... It seemed quickbooks would always freeze up on payday and...

    Wood Used for Car Wash Framing ... thoughts-opinions-experience?

    are you kidding me? I'd say probably 80 to 90% of the small garages that do mechanical work etc. around me are stick built. It's very common in New England.

    Wood Used for Car Wash Framing ... thoughts-opinions-experience?

    When I remodeled my automatic bay I reframed inside the bay with wood. I have a metal Kirby building so one wall is concrete 4' up and the rest is metal skin over metal inner structure. I wanted to make new walls and a ceiling and cover it with Extrutech. I reframed my door openings smaller...

    Self-Serve High Pressure Powder Recommendations

    I used the same blend of correct powder and foam additive in my old automatic. It had plenty of cleaning power for my touch free so using it as my high-pressure soap in the self service bays seemed logical. I use a ready mixed presoak now in my new razor but I still have plenty of correct...

    Police let them drive away with no plates on vehicle? In MA, that gets your car towed.

    Things Just Got Real

    for my wash, I have learned that the more forms of payment I accept the more Revenue the wash brings in. I was all tokens at the beginning no quarters. I made less money. I got the faster credit card processing when I switched to crypto pay. That made revenue increase. As long as cash is in...

    SHURVEND/ AMS coin cassette issue

    I'm not sure how old it is. It was used many years ago when I bought it from Jim Holve. 15-20 years best guess.

    SHURVEND/ AMS coin cassette issue

    Update: my problem returned. While working on it, I noticed that the mei coin acceptor control board would lose power. I found a bad wire connector ( plug). Yesterday I cut out the plug and reconnected all the wires with wire nuts. Re- filled tubes with correct coins, re-set coin cassette...

    Parking lot omelets!

    I've used a Power America machine and a Landa machine, both of which had a kerosene burner. They heated the water super hot. I used to work for a pressure washing company my friend owned and the Landa machine would clean really well.
