    Bird is relentless building nest in Laurel vendor

    This is a new issue to me that I didn't think could happen. Going on 7 days now that everyday a bird is building a nest behind all the magazines in a five selection Little Tree vendor. The first day I removed all the magazines and cleaned it out thoroughly. Then I thought I would open two black...

    Also they painted over the "car wash open" decals on the friction IBA door. That looks like a nice newer door.

    Banker says "We can only loan on...

    On a car wash loan they will use physical assets for collateral. That's been my experience. Are you saying they won't lend on a projections based project as opposed to one with income history?

    Subscription Model For IBA

    I think you would need LPR instead of app based for unattended washes to reduce the abuse. Also Washify and Dencar have really good on screen marketing capabilities to get the membership up. From what I understand the more members you have the lower the average washes per month.

    Subscription Model For IBA

    What is your retail to monthly pricing multiplier? What percentage of income is monthly club vs retail? Assuming you are using LPR does your Dencar system show you how many unique retail customers you have per month?

    Car wash business with a Full Time job

    If the wash makes a lot of money then you have more options to have employees or hire repairs. There is a lot more labor and knowledge than most think but will depend on how busy it is and the condition/type/model/brand of equipment. Does it have an automatic? Do you work or live near the wash...

    Finally a credit card reader that accepts tap and chip cards

    I can't find any info on their app. Is the name of it customizable? What do they charge us operators for it? (I'm assuming it is not included unless they have big fees)

    Clarification on Car Stacking Requirements for Car Wash

    I'm not sure about your local requirements but I would wager that it does not include the car being washed. A two car stack may not be nearly enough on busier days and will limit profitability of the site. The city will hate you for the traffic problems it will create. You could compensate some...

    Saving this '02 Taurus clear coat

    They are long gone but Maaco is around and has a $699 enamel paint job. Base/clear is close to 2 grand now. I took my van there and they wanted over $12,000 to do bodywork and one part urethane paint. Nope. Hard pass. Things have gotten out of hand everywhere.
