    New Wash

    I'm mostly passive. There are times I'm away for 4-6 weeks. Sometimes I'm there everyday for a few weeks. If something breaks and I'm there, of course I fix it. I or my manager does the pits and daily cleaning/maint. I/m in contract on an EE and have thought about building a new EE, but...

    Ok, I'm going to admit I am looking at Chinese IBAs...

    With the price of these Chinese machines, If I ever entertained buying one, I'd buy 2. I'm sure they're about to get more expensive here in the US with the new round of tariffs.

    New member and new owner

    I have an amateur question. Why not have the HP chems injected there also? Mine are done at the pump stand and takes a while to get out to the bay.

    Anyone ever bought or have experience w/ Hand CarWash?

    The good will. If the numbers are accurate, he has a 10 year established business with hopefully provable income. We all know what it takes to build wash up from scratch and that alone is worth something. If the numbers made sense, I'd consider it. Perform your due diligence and of all...

    Editing a post

    Is there a reason for not allowing an edit after 30mins? I've been an avid forum user since....well before forums, and this is the first time I can remember being unable to edit a post.

    I want to hear your stories

    Funny question. I worked in a full service after HS way back. We made good money back then - I'd usually take home $100/day. I started telling friends I wanted to own a wash some day. For the next 20+ years I kept doing the same - always mentioning to people I wanted a wash one day. After...

    Wall Cleaner

    Question for the experts - Ring O Matic Pit Cleaner

    4 followed closely by 1. I was lucky enough to find a used Ring O Matic 500 a few years ago for I think $3000. I wouldn't hesitate to buy a new one. You can also buy a few Handi-Clams and some energetic and eager youngsters(if there are any left?) and pay them to clean the pits by hand.

    I have a tremendous investment spot for a tunnel

    We have pretty much one express ( well one FS that changed to Flex but isn't a threat) in our town of 60K and the county is about 125K . They're cleaning up. I saw some numbers and on a good day they did 1700 cars. My distributer keeps telling me there is room for another here.
