    Disgruntled Employee

    just delete the comments and move on. forget about it and focus your energy where it belongs. what good is going to do to crawl around in the muck with a former employee? many people use fb or internet as a way to complain and many times it's just tough talk; nothing more. 5 minutes spent on...

    Working with a car dealership?

    Offer a discount on bulk (20 or more?) deluxe wash only (or whatever you call your top pkg). only give away washes to your best customers. For me, that's seldom been a dealership.

    New guy with the standard "should I buy this wash" question (1/3)

    New guy with the standard "should I buy this wash" question (1/3)

    i would rather see a whole section of this website devoted to " I wanna Buy/build a Wash'. For any business you need experience if possible. Working at a car wash/lube/detail/car lot biz is the way to go. Get a feel for the customers, equipment, chemicals, msds, daily accounting, money...
