If the mini tunnel is about 200K, a local operator bought one. They were going to not use any employess, and and it is doing alot of damage i hear from distr. and customers. Also not cleaning very well, from what i see you need more equip. than it has to wash. They are having to towel all the...

If you are happy with 90 percent of the cars and just get an occasional car that isn't clean, i wouldn't change a thing. Just give those few self serve time and don't worry about it. Or start with testing the strength of your chemical. A little more dwell time and new nozzles may get you a few...

I suppose it is fairly normal, unless you are continually changing things around at big expense. Or unless the carwashes become an obsession, and when not working-- spend your time on car wash websites, or dream about the washes, or ones vacation is to the ICA. Nothing like my life?!!

You maybe should have had them sign the contract with the explanation. I cannot believe any honest decent person would let you wax and buff out the winnebago, and then not pay. At best a person would have asked for a discount, but to actually leave your place without paying. That is 100x...

While the ads did get the word out about the unlimited wash passes, Those come ons always attract the bottum feeders. The guy that will wash every single day to prove it was a great deal. The real test would be the converts to stay on the program, a low percentage. The bottum feeders never pony...

April is traditionally a wet month for many states. We are just ending a couple of days of snow. After a week in the 60's, we are back in the 20's and 30's and snow. Seeing the southern states are having tornado weather and thunderstorms. Not sure who has good car washing weather.

It stands for Keep It Simple Stupid. Can't imagine what is a simple unit, for the cost of replacing an IBA.

I was more amazed AOL was still in business!!!

Nice looking location, Any chance you could connect your driveway near the front over to the subway. I have a wash with a Taco Johns in front of the wash, and we get customers that go to both. Some cross marketing with subway could give you a boost also. Which bay were you planning on turning...

Just wondering if you see the competitors advertising much in your area. We have a tunnel wash in town that advertises constantly on tv. I have always felt their advertising helps me, as they give away a drip towel with their name on it, and i get tons of them at my wash all the time, so i feel...

While i have no experience with a combo machine, I have had a fragramatics shampoo machine for 20yrs. Not sure if it has paid for itself yet. Not too much use, and every couple of years have to buy a new hose for $160. The hose and the fine tubes and foam generator inside the hose take a beating...

I don't have a sign for the SS stating time or price, but I like your idea. You should always reward the big spenders. On my touchfree i have a pricing sign and all the wash prices are $3-4 more than i charge. So I took pin stripe material, and put a line thru that price, and have a vinyl letter...

Congratulations Red. Sorry to hear about the parents health. I can imagine the roofing business is much more difficult than carwashes, so good luck.

They need to run a smarter scam. They called the other day, and waxman had told me about it. They wanted to tow 10 escalades from NY to ND for detailing. 1800 mi might be pushing it. I asked for their phone number , but they hung up. It was my first ever detailing call also.

Of course you know they don't read signs. Are you that busy to not allow bucket washing? I have alot of great customers that wash quite often that way. I myself would rather have the OCD type washing with a bucket than the muddy ones, or messy paper throwers, or others. A customer that only...

Our state of ND has too much money because of oil taxes. I could make more money driving a water truck in oilfields. Each well needs 2 million gallons of water to fracture the rock and release the oil. I know Obama has not a clue, but if we use other countries oil up first, we would be sitting...

Sounds like a business owner to me!! If you don't worry about it no one else will.

I oiled the nylon gears from motor, and the white wheels, although if squeaking, take apart the spindles and clean under the wheels to get rid of built up dirt, before you oil. Also those spindles have teflon on them, so if worn off --replace, or oil alot. Get the $11 1 ounce of the rowe oil ...

Something else to consider.--It will be just talk, like everything else he hasn't done. In the meantime, he can make alot of peoples lives more difficult. I agree we need to lower oil consumption, but until then why try to make prices higher, and eliminate more jobs. He asked congress for...

You need to oil it with rowes silicon oil, it has a fine needle on end to dispense. I think other oils will attract money dust, and make a mess. Also cleaning the green belts with alcohol or window cleaner will help with traction. Also if you unscrew the maghead-The part at rear top of validator...
