    Hey, I don't mind seeing customers walk briskly while they wash the car. For some of them, that's the most physical activity they get all week! Raising their heart rate for 4-10 minutes is a GOOD THING! I'm offering FREE mini workouts! Besides, haven't people been 'racing the clock' since...

    Prices at self service cw around the USA.

    I think that price is way too low. If a car wash can charge close to $1/minute, why give 30 min for $6?

    Clothing/uniforms and jackets

    I've found some really great deals at goodwill / thrift stores. I have no trouble finding brand name winter coats that I give to employees. LL Bean, Carhartt, Dickies; they're all at Used clothing stores. I think I paid $3 for the last LL bean Coat I got there. You can easily add a patch...

    Anyone ever bought or have experience w/ Hand CarWash?

    I don't like the business model. Too labor-heavy. I also do not invest in businesses where land is not part of the deal.

    Taking Tokenotes out of circulation?

    Hmmm good advice! Maybe I will raise value of tokenotes to $15 and continue taking them awhile. There aren’t too many in circulation.

    Taking Tokenotes out of circulation?

    I've just raised prices in my IBA. Old pricing was $8,9,10,12. New is $10,12,13,15. We have always used the Hamilton Tokenotes for the top package. So now they are valued $12 and the top is $15. I do not want to change the tokenote value to $15 for several reasons. I am thinking I will...

    One thing i never considered before was pump size. I had a cat 530 go bad and replaced it with a 5 series arimitsu. The 5 series pumps more gpm, which costs more to run. It also puts out more gpm at 1000 psi. That gets the car cleaner and takes the customer less time to wash / rinse. This...

    Biggest Pet Peeves --- and solutions

    A favorite pet peeve of mine: when people leave the selector on an hp function with time left on meter. Wand is holstered and spraying away. I hate this! What a waste. Solution: follow them home. Go into their bathroom. Turn sink on full blast. Leave shower on full blast. Exit the home.

    Purchasing my first wash

    Get everything working properly first. Fix the broken bay and the vending machines. Patch the parking lot and paint the building. Fix the sign by the road.
