Jobs like that I refer the customer to their insurance company. In my detail shop, our focus is on the maintenance detail customer and their vehicle. When I have done restoration detailing in the past, I have made less profit. Even recently we did a detail on a Volvo 240 for a friend; I did...

I understand the logic of Car Freshner Corp. trying new 'flavors' of trees. However, why get rid of Spice? Margarita? and Rainbow Rush?!

Think of the added bonus:... improving one's physical fitness when lugging FULL trash barrels every day!!! A Stronger, more resilient bod is the result. Who doesn't love that?

Huh?

I did!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I admire your candor!!! I have done similar things!!!

Decision made; ordered new buttons from my buddy!. Thanks all.

No No No; don't go low on pricing. Go high. I'm roughly $1 / per minute on my bays. I offer HP soap, WAX, Rinse plus tri foam, foamy brush, spot free rinse and blow dry. $2 / 4 min on my vacs. $1.25 for Little trees. Figure out ways to differentiate yourself, then price becomes less...

Is it too cheesy to paint the buttons on my goldline acw??? Have you tried it? Didi it last? Should I just get 5 new buttons ( $25 + apiece)? They work fine; they are just faded.

It is up to you to determine the ballpark amount, not us. Location, car wash type, size and layout. Building materials, land cost, utilities, etc. Everything, right down to your first chemical order must be considered. Throwing a wild guess at it will do no good. Just the fact that you're...

Hi. With all due respect, you are asking us to do everything for you and that's not the way any of this works. You need to find some of this information on your own, first, and then come back having done your homework. You are asking us to do it for you and that's not appropriate. Read trade...

I bought mine used for $40. self-contained, wall mount. With a new decal, mine looks great. Makes $10-20 per month. More of a convenience for customers, but still a profitable one. I have replaced coin acceptor and hose so far. Not expensive to maintain!

I'm not sure they are looking for me. Our hours are m-f 8-5 and sat 9-2 and sun by appt. my # is posted at the wash. we are fully staffed 6 days / week. i'm always here.

I:........................ get a bit jealous, especially if it's a nice car, shady out, cool breeze, Bozz Scaggs on a boom box, pretty wife helping and a can of something cool nearby.

Because I am at my business 6 days / week ( and have been for decades at this point) , I find myself getting more and more annoyed at customers when they tell me some version of : "....you're NEVER here." I've tried saying things that I think are witty, like : " yeah, I only work nights...

armorall original, armorall cleaner, wet towel is what i'd vend in a 3 column vendor.

I used 3 /10 of 1% for cash flow projections. Traffic count is a tricky number to rely on for overall sales. It's merely a guideline. There are other important factors to consider: speed limit is a huge one. So is egress. Visibility and curb appeal matter alot in how many cars you will...

Western MA vacs $2 / 5 min bays $3 / 3.5 min touchfree $10,12,13,15
