    Best combo vac combination

    I have shampoo, vac and fragrance at every station. You would be amazed how much those silly fragrance machines bring in. Especially over the last month as Spring was starting.

    management agreement

    ROFL. :eek: I don't mean to laugh, but an agreement to adequately protect you will be difficult for an attorney who has years of schooling and experience. Even then, if you have an issue, you will find that the agreement does not do everything that you wanted. There are always unforseeable...

    People getting change

    Wow, I couldn't imagine buying quarters anyway. I am happy that people carry mine off to the laundry mat. I end up with $1000+ in extra quarters a month. Every dollars worth they carry off is one less I have to carry to the bank. 1000 dollar bills is a lot lighter than 4000 quarters.

    Brush damage...really?

    Yeah, he said he didn't get all of the scratches at once. He ADMITS he didn't know where the scratches came from. Now, he is assuming that it was your wash. I think you handled it very well. After showing him that the brush did not cause the damage, tell him, you are sorry about the...

    Weirdest robbery we've ever dealt with

    You have a safe? I don't have a single safe at my wash. All vaults in the concrete. They are a pain to get into even with the combinations. I believe that Sam's club sells Winchester gun safes like I have in the basement of my residence. Mine is the high dollar one that weighs around 1000...

    S/S Car Wash Solicitors?

    Well, it isn't no soliciting that was the issue which I was referring to. When a person has been asked to leave the property and never come back, it becomes a trespass issue. In Indiana, we have the right to tell people to get off our property and stay off. That is when the police get...

    Rain X 3.5 oz.bottles

    The Rain-X distributor's attitude turned me off so much that I switched to Rain Guard. I am very happy with the product. It foams a little more than Rain-X on application and has a pleasant scent. My customers are very happy with the product. I don't like to do business with anyone who...

    Question on LLC's

    That is good advice. When I set up other people's business, that is how I set them up.

    Rain X 3.5 oz.bottles

    a Rain X distributor called me about Rain X. He informed me that I was using bootleg Rain X and that he was the only person who could sell me Rain X. Even though the Rain X was real, it was bootleg and I had to pay whatever price he wanted. He even told me that my distributor had been sued in...

    Question on LLC's

    I had an S corp set up for my car wash. I ended up going with an LLC so that the losses (depreciation) carry through to my taxes as ordinary income. This is important. I consulted a qualified accountant. Typically, in the event of death, an LLC would pass to your heirs. That is, your...

    S/S Car Wash Solicitors?

    Ask them politely to leave. Post a sign. If all else fails call the police. The police in our area have a form which they require. They advise the person that they have been asked not to come on the property and have them sign that they acknowledge it. If they come back, they will be...

    My apology to Pat Crowe

    The only thing that really bugged me about the guy was that he is always pushing his book. Along those lines, do you ever run into that high school jock who still wears his high school T-shirt or talks about high school football games. Some times people just have to have something to hang to...

    You need the handheld. I use mine at least weekly.

    Gallons Pumped - Cars washed

    1 wash per 80 gallons would seem like a lot. Even with an average purchase of 10 gallons, that would be one in 8 cars. With 8 pumps and one wash that would mean a constant line at the wash since, it would take less time to pump 10 gallons of gas than it would to wash a car. The 1 wash per...

    My apology to Pat Crowe

    OK, I have 19 years or so of schooling behind me. The best I can understand, you are saying that you were psychic about him being the crazy uncle? Is that what you meant? If that is what you meant, I don't understand how you could have meant that. Did you know that he has a book which he...

    Banks and bankrupt car washes

    Give it up. All you do is get on here and plug your book. Apparently, the assumptions I made were correct, right? 1. You asked why the bank does not do what you think is in their best interests, I explained why. No one said you were the one who initially contacted them. No assumption...

    Banks and bankrupt car washes

    You asked "Why?" I answered. I made no assumption. I explained the bank's thinking first hand. I explained in general terms. The 10% every six month rule is not something I do. Please read. It is what the federal government does. You seem to be very defensive. If you internalized...

    Banks and bankrupt car washes

    Would a bank be best served by attempting to sell a property on which it foreclosed by listing it at the initial appraised value then lowering the price by 10% every six months or by selling it to the guy who contacts them initially and "knows" what the property is worth? In each and every...

    Trying To Get A Loan

    Specifically, look to the SBA 504 loan program. I think you can get buy with 10 or 15% down through that program and 20 year rates. They also require the other bank to do a 20 year loan rather than a 5 year balloon. When I got mine, I got 5yr treasury plus 3% through the other bank. That...
