Truly unbelievable. I had no idea it was that bad. Thank you, Bill, for posting this.

They haven't been able to sell it because buyers cannot get financing. Despite our bank bailout, banks are not lending money. I placed my wash on the market just as the recession hit. I pulled it off about 1 year later. If you can get acceptable financing, you are in the driver's seat...

Last Sunday night two young punks removed my electric meter thinking (stupidly) that my power would go out. Even though lights did not go out, they still used a very large crow bar and went after the ACW. 15 seconds later (far too long) the shock sensor set off alarm and they ran off. Now...

Thank you Mac. We'll try it both ways.

For those of you who use a 2 step process, do you put on low ph presoak or high ph presoak on first??

Yes, bad news does travel fast, but not to that many people. I think you have the same problem I have - it gets too darned hot for people to come out and wash. I have experienced the same scary end of April/May slowdown. Every year now for the last 6 years. It is like someone turns the...

If sunny skies meant great business, I would be very happy. Here in sunny Florida things really slow down when school ends and it gets HOT.

HTC EVO. I just set up the program to watch my carwash cameras on it. Awesome.

We've done it with a pressure washer. Have you tried that??

Sorry guys, here in the Panhandle of Florida, we haven't had a significant rain day in a couple of weeks. Sunny, highs in the 70's. Beautiful. Business has been good. Now, with the oil cleaned up, hoping tourists will return and things return to normal. Last summer was awful.

Gosh, I wish D&S offered that kind of telephone tech support.

My police dept will not officially give me the info. However, one or two of the duputies will allow me to glance at their computer screen to get the info.

Just remember that at times your bill acceptor will get jammed with a wet or wrinkled bill. At that time you want your customers to be able to use coins.

I ordered a Procon pump from Kleenrite several weeks ago. I called at 4:50 just before closing time and pleaded with the lady to get it out that night. She didn't promise, but said she would do her best. I had it two days later. I was impressed.

No Bill, didn't pay them a thing. Clearly pointed out to her that she still had it in her hand. She said, oh, never mind. Ten minutes later I went out to talk to her husband. I didn't want her to tell him that I wouldn't give her the money. I figured she was scamming him. Anyway, I said...

Okay, so I arrive at the wash this afternoon and as I am walking across the parking lot to open the door a man rushes up to me to say that my machine kept his $10 bill. I say, okay, no problem, let's get the bills out. So, the last 5 bills in the validator are 4 ones and one 5. I said, did...

I sell my 55 and 30 gallon soap barrels on Craigslist. I tell the caller to have a look at the barrel behind my dumpster and if it is suitable simply slip the money under my equipment room door. I've done this probably 10 times and never had a problem. There are good people out there. No...

Soapy - what is your signage??

I don't have anything formal with my tech support guy. I just shoot him a check when I use him.

Well, I have been in the business for almost 6 years now and have probably had more break-ins than anyone here on the Forum. I'll give you my advice. Put up as many real cameras as you can and post signs up that you have them. Mention the fact that you have 24 hour surveillance to as many...
