    I'm buying my first car wash!

    What type of investor gets under a contract without the details. As a real estate investor myself you need solid figures before a purchase. Otherwise you will pay too much or not know if it was a good deal. Owning both i can tell you, and my wife and friends, that still think you just stop by...

    New price sign, the good, the bad, and the ugly

    I like the sign--Very professional looking. A lot of information for customer. What timer allows you to adjust time per coin, for more money in. Please don't tell me my dixmor will do it, and i didn't know it. While i am not known for my english skills--On the left side I would change the last...

    Caught Him... Finally.

    Glad to hear they got the guy. I like the idea of putting the picture up. It gives everyone a better idea of what happens to the bad boys. The honest customers(99.9%) like to see justice done.

    Jokes

    If a truck driver comes into the car wash. How do you pay him a nice compliment. Say something nice about his tooth.!! Whats the difference between a Boeing 747, and a college sorority girl. Not everyone's been on a 747.

    Applying "branding" to price signs, and raising prices

    I think you should do that. It adds a little life to a basic wash. Nothing could be more boring than good, better, best. My names are the Dolphin, Whale and Super Whale. My Whale themes are carried on my tokens and signs and envelopes for refunds- Lots of Whale Logos. My Avatar says Welcome to...

    Wanting better mileage SUV/crossover.

    I was only praising my Hybrid as i bought it at a dealer auction, and 2yrs old and 1/3 new price. That pencils out-----New --almost any car will not pencil out. I have to say the CVT transmission in my car is the greatest, good for mileage, fast off the line, and super smooth. Ford has quite a...

    CNBC Mr Clean Car Wash

    That show was sure a piece of fiction. For me in this cold weather it's more like costing 90% for everything. Almost everyday i feel like i'm at the mustang ranch,it seems like i am am getting screwed by someone. I would like another location, but the cost of land, building, and equipment is...

    Wanting better mileage SUV/crossover.

    I also drive about 60mi a day between the 5 washes, and a year ago got a NAH or Nissan Altima Hybrid. In the summer i get 40mpg and can go 600 mi on a tank. In the winter with the warm up with our extreme cold and using the heater all the time it goes down to 28mpg. Not sure if people really...

    I don't care who you are, this scam is funny.

    I must have lost all shame running car washes, but i sure would cash it. To me embarasing would have been (little willy's ) instead.

    ARO Diaphragm Pumps vrs flojet...

    For the number of hours of use, i don't think the flojets last so long. At one wash i have 18yr old Aro's. I think you should buy another one, if thats what you want.

    Thinking of a Ring-O-Matic 500T

    You should check with your garbage hauler. Mine pays by the ton and would change my rates, as sand is so heavy, also the weight capacity of the truck on lifting a dumpster.

    Tractor detaling!!!

    We have one in town that does semi tractors, tractors for the field, grain trucks, sprayers, skidsteers. Looks like they do mainly new commercial equipment. It must make a difference on a combine that costs $300k that it looks prettier for the customer. He has big buildings and lots of parking

    Another Mackay's Advice on using Social Media

    Jay Leno Made a joke about mark zuckerberg from facebook, when he got Times--Person of the year.. He said he was responsible for helping 50 yr old men hook up with their old girlfriends, and get them divorces. Social media can be good or bad depending on how you use it.

    Best Changer???

    I wish i didn't have 5 rowes --had to update with mars. Hoppers are always getting dirty and causing hopper empty. Even with the mars sometimes a bill that is rejected will fault the computer, and the mars will be fine. Whatever you get the mars is an amazingly good validator.
