You also pay into social security on a regular basis as an employee so you get that when you are old enough to collect it. Since I've been doing this most of my adult life, I need to be paying into SS! Plus a Corp has many other benefits. I've gotten plenty of bogus advice from CPA's over the...

I like what I hear; sounds good. Thanks

I looked at your picture of the wash. I think it would look great if you re-painted the metal corrugated on exterior top of walls and put some of these letters on there: https://americansignletters.com/plastic-letters/. Take your time. Look at pics of other washes to see what you think looks...

Welcome to the car wash forum! Congrats and thank you for your service and sacrifice. Are you re-naming the wash or keeping it the same? I suggest going to Google and claiming the business as your own. Then create a Google business page. It's simple, easy, free and effective. If you...

WOW!

There are 2 loans; a PPP loan ( for payroll expenses) and a disaster relief loan. Go to the SBA.GOV website and look there. I think you want the latter loan. FWIW; why not put yourselves on payroll? I'm incorporated and an employee of the company. Works well for me and my pay is included in...

To all you Washworld Touchfree machine operators: Tell me about your machine maintenance routines and tips please. Specifically: 1. greasing and lubricating the bay equipment, 2. replacing chemical lines and hoses in the bay. 3. replacing sensors and /or cables for vehicle sizing and...

I use a heat gun to remove the vinyl part and and for the leftover glue I smear on Gojo Original formula hand cleaner; it's like a white jelly. Let that sit a half hour then easily scrape glue off with a razor blade. Wipe razor blade clean on a paper towel. Very easy and no harsh chemicals...

HAPPY EASTER! ( one day late).

For me, doing my own service and repairs on the IBA has been a great learning experience. It lets me learn more about my equipment and gives me more control over repair times and cost. When I do upgrade my equipment with Washworld, I'll keep maintaining and repairing it myself.

My full-time job in the industry began in 1996 when I opened my full-service stand-alone detail shop. It was rough; I was in business with family, which I DO NOT RECOMMEND, for many reasons. We rented a location ( which we built ourselves; long story ). The business only made money 8-9 months...

You want more things for the customer to use in the bay; NOT LESS! Is this even a real question?? Come on.....

Customers like the music. It makes the place more lively, inviting, and happy. Don't over-think the selection. Use a local station if possible. Keep the volume moderate.

FYI: In my opinion, setting up a corporation is a good idea on many levels. One thing is that you can pay yourself as an employee of the business. I plan to apply for the PPP loan and my pay is included in the payroll figure.

My bank said they would accept coins but then they changed their mind and said no. I'm using coin stars that take 11.9-12.5% as a fee. I'm saving the receipts and plan to ask the bank to reimburse me when things 'normalize'.

I saw / heard the Everwash webinar today and it was very good and informative.

There is a $10,000 grant available as well. The grant box to check for the $10,000 is found on page 3 of the Disaster Relief Loan. You get to keep the $10,000 as a grant once you apply for this loan. If you are turned down or approved it does not matter. If you are approved but decide not to...

me too; all signed up and i downloaded zoom

I'm aware of a PPP loan being offered through the SBA and administered by local banks. This one offers 2.5 x monthly payroll as a loan. .5% interest. HOWEVER, if you prove you used the funds for payroll and expenses ( mortgage, utilities, etc.) the loan is forgiven .
