    Rename your car wash?

    Hard to say! The new Airlift doors New Razor with my wash packages to replace D&S junk- Probably made the most difference. After 3 years and reflection I agree with some of the above statements that the name means very little in the long run. Unless, you are trying to create a brand.

    Rename your car wash?

    I bought a wash that was basically turn key, just needed new chemicals and tweaking. In Excellent condition! We did not change the name much! Bought another that was the exact opposite. Could not wait to get the new sign up and change the name so people knew that things were a changing!

    Best Hose Type for Self Serve Bays

    I think there is a thread on here where we discussed this at length. But - I m a huge fan of the “Comfort hose”made by Mosmatic. Its light -durable - and lasts for a very long time. Women really like not having a bulky heavy hose on the wand. Very user friendly!

    Construction costs have gotten stupid. The equipment has not. But land and buildings have just gotten out of reach for most business start ups. We have built two buildings in last 4 years for another business. The one in 2020 not so bad. The one in 2024 almost triple the sq ft cost of the...

    Great idea, or horrible idea?

    1) firemen usually work 24 on 48 off Car washing is a perfect 2nd income gig for them. 2) all of the leases I know of - equipment owned by operator. All your leasing is building and land. I m in coach, but I get to fly down a come see it 😁
