    Pay Damage Claim Out of Pocket or No?

    I don't plan to pay $1135.25 for 2 scratches to not be fixed. I will pay when the body shop calls and says the work is finished and payment is due. If she takes me to court and I am ordered to pre-pay, I will comply. Until then, I have agreed to pay the body shop once it is fixed. That fact...

    Kleen Rite Soaps

    I think the Kleen Rite soaps for IBA's are made by JBS. I use Simoniz Correct combined with Simoniz foam additive. This is my in bay auto pre soak. cars come out great; I find I can really dump the product on and still have it affordable. At a cost below $70 / 55 barrel, it's very economical...

    Washwordl Razor Vs. PDQ 360

    My distributor was really great when I bought my touchfree ( Superior Side trac). We still chat and I like him very much. However, after having it a few years and doing my own troubleshooting, repairs and maintenance, I found I no longer needed his help. Between online tech support and the...

    What vending products do you offer?

    I know vending is a small piece of the total car wash revenue. However, it is profitable. I believe if you price items properly, market it properly, rotate stock, offer a good selection, and eliminate doggy selling items it is worthwhile. I think of my vending as a little store and I have fun...

    Sales Tax Exemption

    Hello My wash is in Massachusetts. I keep track and pay sales tax on vending items. Kleen Rite requires a sales tax exemption form. Is that something I should get? Do you have one? Thanks!

    Paystation Location

    Mine is 8' back from door opening and 4' from bay center line. works great but get bollards etc to protect it because even in the perfect spot people will hit it. You get an blonde, elderly, Lithuanian woman in a cowboy hat and you might as well have jersey barriers surrounding the cashier. LOL.

    Who posts Time for $?

    I just post price. I find it works for me just fine. If a customer complains ( that is rare ) about not enough time, I add tokens from my pocket and re-start whatever equipment they are using. No big deal.
