First of all, even at just $1.00, we have only 8% of people buyin Rain-X. Secondly, to do so would force me to go from $10 to $11 which is something I do not wish to to do in this environment. Cost for rain-X is approximately 25 cents per car. Given the fact that my sales tax is already at...
Alan,
we wouldn't need a $30 billion small jobs credit bill, if the government wasn't already paying out $700 billion in interest every year on the national debt? We all need less government in our lives and less government spending which is crowding out private lending.
We also wouldn't need...
packerscw,
Once in a great while someone complains and each time my response is for them to buy a book and sve $3-$4 per wash as they NEVER expire. As I said, there are also all kinds of $2.00 off coupons available through the Town Planner Calendars, website, Google, etc. We are set up such...

Every car we wash gets the works for $10. We offer no other wash options. The only extra service we do not include is Rain-X. From this we offer discounts to the most loyal customers. 5 Wash book is normally $35 but will be $30 through October. These are also available in quantities...
Twitter, Facebook, Google, building a website while all relatively inexpensive or free altogether sounds great, but our response over the last two+ years in these mediums has been lackluster to say the least.
Coupons in mailings like Val-Pak or welcome wagon are also costly and returns suspect...
Alan,
Please send me some of whatever you are smoking. Maybe then the economy won't look as bad as it really is. Wake up and smell the coffee, Obama could not be more of a disaster for this nation if he tried - Oh wait, he is trying.
Screw the bill and Obama, extend the BUSH tax cuts, lower the corporate tax rate, reduce payroll taxes, repeal Obamacare and forget cap and trade/tax. Do these things and wathc the economy take off. Consumers, employers, and wall street are al playing it close to the vest because they see the...
Access to loans is great, but comes nowhere near addressing the problem. The problem isn't money for us to buy new equipment. The problem is for jobs to be created by the private sector so that people have money to pay for a car wash. Un and underemployment here in Cleveland is 15-20%. People...
Given that your chemical expenditures are around 6-7% of your gross, it is an important factor of production. What every operator should be looking for at each stage of the wash cycle is using the best possible solution at the lowest possible cost.
Obviously, having only one supplier places...
To begin with we are blessed given the fact we employ a front wheel pull conveyor
(150') and yet are setup like a rear wheel push in that our prep area is totally enlcosed at the beginning and we have 23' to the first arch (pre-soak).
That said, we deal with bugs in three ways. First at the...
20 miles and 25-30 minutes. Wish I could move the wash to where I live and get the hell out of Cuyahoga County/Cleveland - which thanks to Democrats keep getting smaller and poorer with each passing year.
What are you talking about? :confused:
Secondly, the cost of an automatic wash is a lot less than a hand wash. Lastly, hand washing is worse for the finish of your vehicle unless great care is taken regarding lubricating soap as well as frequent rinsing and re-soaping of the hand wash mitts...
A fair and accurate article IMO, although the writer glosses over the harsh wash solutions used in touchless washes, not to mention the fact the they never get the vehicle as clean as one that is all cloth or has cloth in addition to the touchless equipment.
Make sure that you're buy/sell agreement is funded by a life insurance policy. I speak from 36 years of experience - he is playing Russian Roluette with his life. Standing next to the conveyor is by far sufficient to guide cars on.
We to have a damage claim form that we employ. We get all the pertinent customer information, vehicle information and allot space for the customer to explain their claim. At the bottom of the form we also stste that the form is for claim evaluation purposes and that no admission of...
If you are washing 175 cars in 3.5 hours and the odor returns, it sound more like its being caused by the chemicals you are using more so than a lack of ozone. I would assume you are using acid based pre-soak since I have experienced this with other operatiors also using acid based solutions. We...
