    Dumpster gone, results after 1 month

    I can understand your struggles .... but man, I'd be hard pressed to pull the trash cans. I'm kind of on the same page as OASIS - I would think that trash receptacles for large debris, too large to get sucked up through the vacuum, would be somewhat expected in a car wash that offers vacuums...

    ~Pet Wash Updates Please~

    I have one. My only word of advice would be to make sure you have an attendant to clean it after each use between the hours of operation. They are MESSY. I offer pretty much everything: Tub Sanitizer Oatmeal Shampoo Conditioner Skunk and Odor remover Flea & Tick Dryer I also offer free dog...

    Foam Brush Hoses

    I went to these hoses after I saw you mention them a while back. Must be going on almost 2 years now. 100% satisfied.

    Refused customer damage claim 2015 GMC Acadia

    That's exactly what I did. Explained the process and the soaps used and explained that more soap doesn't equal better wash. Then I kindly offered him to come back for a free wash .

    Refused customer damage claim 2015 GMC Acadia

    I got a 2 star google review today from a guy that got my $7 base touchless wash and complains about “only 2 minute of soap!”. Some people are just unrealistic

    I am armed while at my car wash

    How does the old saying go? I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

    Getting a loan

    I'd ask the owner if he was willing to hold the note. One option would be to have him hold the note 3-5 years, during which time you can correct the financial issues and apply for a traditional loan and pay him off.

    Self server air dryers

    Any of you guys that have added the dryers also have complimentary towels? Just wondering how the take rate would be when the towels are also available.

    Chemical injection above bay instead of at pump?

    Does anyone have their wash/SS set up like this? All my injection and solenoids are at the pump stand and myself, along with my customers, don't really like the 5-15 secs it takes to switch functions. I was thinking about having a brass manifold block above the bay and then run the 1/4" poly...

    Quickbooks Expense

    I recently did an upgrade on my Mac which rendered my older version of QB obsolete ( 64 bit OS vs 32 bit software ). After that happened I finally decided to hire a bookkeeper to work with my accountant. Best money I ever spent.

    I think many have a skewed sense of shipping costs due to the Amazon Prime model. Just my $.02

    Petit 360 or Typhoon owners sound off

    I've been kicking around the idea of upgrading my Radius to a 360. There are many things I like about it - mostly the cph. I've read nothing but good about them. I like the fact that not only do they have a great reputation, but it's a somewhat smaller family owned company. I feel you get...

    I am armed while at my car wash

    I do. I've been carrying since I was 21. I consider my area a very safe area, and where my wash is located is probably the most affluent area in the county. I carry because....I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it. Like heath and car insurance. Like wearing a...

    Vending Prices

    I've been buying the AA mini pump bottles there for a while. Ships to my store for free and I just swing by on the way to the wash and puck it up. A great seller of mine in my vending machines is: 1. Dual USB port car chargers for $2. I buy them in quantity on Ebay for under $.75. 2...

    Wash Card

    This and the other Crypopay thread got my gears turning about what precisely I'm paying for my CC processing. I've never computed it and what I found this morning is startling. I'm using WashCard with USAePay and I'm looking at a roughly 18.3% fee of my gross? Could this be possible...
