I'm confused. Why not just use a count down system? If your going to make them swipe again at $6.34, just make them add time when the last minute warning goes off for $5.00? I sold my wash about 6 months ago but had the countdown in the wash for the last three years I owned it. One charge...

I sold my wash about 4 months ago and really miss it sometimes. After reading this post, I don't miss it as much right now....

Welcome to the other side. It doesn't sound like you'll be staying here though.

From the way you describe your location and clientele I'm not surprised wild hemp is a big seller...

I would prefer to see myself as the latter of the two. Listen, the wash is busy in a part of town that is growing. Sales have been growing 15% per year the last three years. The place is profitable and he will easily be able to pay it off early. And his bank's appraiser agreed to the...

My recent sale was for a moderately busy six bay SS. Nothing fancy but everything worked and up to date. A solid following in the neighborhood. My books showed accurate data and could be backed with tax returns for three years. I'm not comfortable giving dollar figures, but will give you...

What your describing is calcium build up. The only thing that I know that causes that hard water. Get a hard water test kit and check yourself. If you have a two tank water softener, be sure to check it when each tank is online. Also watch to see that the salt level goes down after the...

Thank you for all of your encouragement and prayers. I'm sorry I was slow getting back to you all. But I did what a lot of old retired guys do, I went camping for four days. The kids went out to the campground for the weekend and we joined them. Instead of packing up Sunday morning I said...

After 28 years and 29 days I am out of the car wash business. Today was my last day. I enjoyed my self service wash and would have been glad to stay for a while. The money was very good and I liked the work. But my wife was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in February. She has had her chemo and an...

Wow!!! Why didn't I watch this 30 years ago. I've been working way too hard and paid way too much.

My gosh Blanco. Are you keeping up with your meds? I'm sure you're going to respond with more insults and leading questions, but I'm done with you. I have been a member of this forum for a long time but don't post very often. Putting up with guys like you is one of the reasons why. Good bye.

The components don't have any street value, so I doubt they could sell anything. But they would still probably f---k thing up just because they could. When I bought my wash it had the old small D&S boxes. The door fit was pretty sloppy and they were pried on a lot. I got pretty good at...

Well, your wrong again....

Well you would be wrong about that too. In the 28 years I've owned the place some one has hooked onto a vacuum with a cable and tried to take it, and some one drove through the block wall into the equipment room wall with a stolen car. There have been other attempts, but these two were the...

I get it, there's no perfect answer. But would you rather have the alarm go off a couple of times a week or have to put your meter box back together every couple of months? From the looks of it they must have been beating on that box for quite a while to get it that tore up. No matter how...

It looks to me like rebuilding the boxes and doors as often as he talks about is a waste of time and money. I know shock sensors can be adjusted and surely the sensitivity could be set somewhere between dropping the rain cover and beating the tar out of one like the picture he posted. The alarm...

There is a town in Pennsylvania called Blue Ball. It's only about 8 miles rom a town called Intercourse. Insert your own joke here...

Could you put a local alarm on these coin boxes with a shock sensor? If it screamed at them or set off a strobe light before they could get that far in to it, it should slow them down some. It wouldn't have to be sophisticated with a phone dialer, just something that would draw attention...

I saw the post about Keystone beer. Isn't Pennsylvania the Keystone State? Does anybody do anything with that brand around you? I'm in Nebraska, and a lot of businesses brand themselves after the Cornhuskers. Just a thought.....

I've had IMT insurance for over 20 years. They send me an audit form once a year to show my gross sales. I think part of my premium is calculated on sales volume because I'll get a bill or credit from them based on this audit. If you are happy with them otherwise, I would put up with it. I...
