    Another Car Wash 101 Question...

    Exactly. We own and operate four car washes, and the amount of chemical we use varies in order to get a car clean.

    Maybe there is hope

    Funny how things change with the media when they, too, find their wallets being affected.

    The latest shortage

    I also saw there is a tampon shortage. I guess we'll see more women transition into being men.:cautious:

    A little common sense

    I'm in a liberal Maryland, one of the most liberal states in general, and the mask police haven't been too bad. When mask mandates were rescinded, most people did wear masks. This year, we've finally reached a point where most people have ditched their masks. I think the metaanalysis from local...

    Five things that ruined this country

    A post of few words but so eloquent. 1. Rap music - definitely a symptom of a decline of black America, one in which we have caused blacks to have acquired learned helplessness. Where has it come from? The Left's messianic complex. We need to do a better job of showing how the Left...

    New Mud Bay Idea

    At one of our locations, we had unofficial mud bays. We had seven bays at the time, two in a front building and five in a building that was later built to expand. When we caught muddy bays, we would send them to the front. In your case, I don't believe a mud bay would work. To me, you don't...

    Contemplating going Cashless?

    I myself would not do it for my car washes. Customer convenience.

    Gotta love the pollen

    Over the past decade or so, I find myself loving pollen season more than the salty season. Better weather and less utilities.

    Gas Prices..

    I would have to think it'd be a negative. Less driving means less washing.

    Changer woes

    Great point. A few years ago, in Baltimore, there is a restaurant across from a police station. Some idiot tried to rob it during an officer's retirement celebration there.

    Dollar coin shortage?

    That makes sense. Trying to get anything these days is so difficult due to supply chain issues.

    Freaking masks

    In my mind, there's no denying that masks reduced colds and flus. However, at what cost? Look at all the mask litter we have around. Many municipalities have banned plastic bags at grocery stores only for the plastic bag litter to be replaced by masks. Then you have those reusing masks. Then...

    How do you see the future of self serve wash business?

    The first question that pops into my mind is why you are considering getting out of the rental properties? Are you tired of the business? Are you trying to strike while the iron is hot? Are you the sort of entrepreneur that likes to establish a business, sell it and go to another one? Are there...

    Unlimited for Self Serves

    I can speak from experience in that we tried a self-service unlimited membership. We charged $19.99/month for $30 worth of time. We used Washgear gift cards. We allowed one's unused time to carry over. My father was the one who wanted to implement it. I was against it. I ended up being right for...

    Our clueless president

    Biden figures in because he's been president during the the same pandemic as Trump. Let's not forget Biden ran on his secret plan to stop COVID. Then he gets elected and says, "There's nothing I can do to stop the trajectory of COVID." He lied about it. And who are the experts Trump should've...

    Sierra Site Server with wash select pay stations

    One of our washes uses them. We were shown how to use them from Washtech (now under the Sonny's umbrella) what to do. I believe Unitec makes them. I'd try them.
