Wow. Most of those places are really poor looking. Oh well.

all you have to do is install a water meter on well line. city reads that to calculate sewer charges. don't ask=don't get.

our wash vends tokens. IBA accepts $, qtrs, cc and yes tokens (same at SS bays). you want to make it as easy and convenient for customers to pay as possible. i did/thought otherwise at one point and that was a mistake on my part.

I also have cryptopay and count up. only complaints i get are the swiper doesnt work but so far when i have swiped customers' cards for them i get it to work 1st try (like the bill changer etc)

Our carwash drilled a 600' artesian well last summer. It has a static level of 50' and produces 3-4 gpm. We had the water tested and, based on test results and well supply estimates vs wash usage, have decided to use well supply for HP rinse on IBA and SS bays (both cold at this wash). We...

Yeah you got it disassembled but how? That was your original question so please tell how you got it done. thanks!

I bought a Champion Centurion II. Lots of money but flawless performance, quiet, awesome machine. Cheap isn't so if you're working on it alot. The aircompressor is at the heart of the carwash operation; not a place to skimp.

Raised detail pricing for 2014. Ramping down X-large vehicle detailing. This is part of an effort to increase overall profitability as well as to allow room for expanding our small used car sales division. Has anyone else raised detail pricing for 2014?

Anyone ever tried a powder for wheel/tire cleaning? Our detail shop uses a high ph wheel/tire cleaner that works well. I saw this https://www.kleen-ritecorp.com/p-7478-simoniz-super-dazzle-whitewall-cleaner-50-lbs.aspx and wondered how it works. thanks!

Yes a carwash is like any other business in that a person enters into it expecting to somehow maximize profit. That is a broad statement which, in the context of a carwash boils down to several questions: 1. what do i charge? 2. what will customer pay? 3. what does ciustomer expect? 4. where...

Do what I did to see if you even like this business: go and get a part time job at a carwash. I worked at Golden Nozzle (FL Roberts) here in MA before building on land i had owned for years (in a town i lived very close to for over 30 years). I worked at 2 locations, each with 2 Laserwash...

Would a white stain work for poured concrete walls?

I've had 2 overfloods due to a Topaz Industro valve. I wiped it down and lowered the ball a bit. Is there a way to take these apart and clean them? Thanks!

Banks make you sign personally on loans. The current owner is being helpful and forthright because he is selling and it's in his best interest to show you the place runs itself and makes plenty of money.

The concerns over cash flow are wise, even if your market stays competition free for 3-5 years. This business is fully weather related and income fluctuates as such. That can hurt if you're extended out too far from purchase and necessary capital improvements that this wash needs. Do you have...

The tax returns should pay the note, all expenses, your salary as well as capital improvements. Signs of trouble; the current owner hasn't repaired a broken IBA, is not lighting the place at night, or repairing an o.o.o. SS bay (simple compared to IBA often-times but not always.). If it had...
