Actual statement from a customer once: "This thing has worked flawlessly for 15 years and it up and quit on me this morning. What the HELL are you going to do for me?"

25 years of built up cynicism and other operators that have actually asked that and been upset when told no......really.

Pro Wash Services has done quite a bit with us in that area. They're out of Washington MI Mike Elfiqhi melfiqhi@gmail.com

Oh, and before you even ask, it's not still under warranty and it cannot be repaired. ;)

You won't find that exact one as it hasn't been made in about 30 years. The standard Sensortron insert is the replacement.

That doesn't change my opinion at all. If anything it makes it more solid. They already have an operating business next door. So you invest $100k+, get the wash up and banging. Do you really think they're going to be like, "Hey, we'll just let him keep pocketing that money"? Nope, You're going...

All the more reason to walk and look for a better opportunity. They're sitting on a non-revenue producing property that they can't justify putting money into and want someone else to do the hard work. The odds of you taking it without lube is extremely high. Walk.

Not of fan of leasing a site you're going to have to put over $100k+ into just to get it operational. I'd wouldn't touch it if you don't own the dirt.

Couple of questions/observations: 1) It's hard to tell from the pictures but is that a pull in/back out site? That's really not preferred set up as it screws with traffic flow and if the meterboxes are on the "nose" wall of the bay, you're inviting maintenance issues 2) Are there existing...

But it's good you had the ten minutes and were able to do it.

I think I may save it on my computer so I can just copy/paste.

It's the social media effect. They see these clowns on social media talking about how much easy money is to be made in car washes and when they find out the reality they think we're all a bunch of pricks. It's happening in a lot of areas. At least 90% of the people you find on social media...

This is not the place to take that tone with long time successful operators. A couple of observations from my 25 years of experience: 1) Driving by existing washes on busy days and assuming that means there is an overall need for another wash is not a valid assumption. In fact, it's quite a...

I just saw this but if he's claiming 35% I suspect it's higher. Any offer should only be made on verifiable numbers such as tax returns.

That's what we have been using for years. I wouldn't recommend anything else.

You can't have a boom without a corresponding bust, regardless of the industry. It's going to be interesting to see who's left standing after the inevitable contraction occurs. There are still a handful of independent tunnel operators in my area that are doing really well but they've stayed...

I think this is becoming an epidemic. So much dirt from Texas here in West Michigan on Saturday it seemed like fog.

The other thing to consider is some equipment use the timed hot wire to shut off the weep when the bay is "on" so you may need another wire for that.

On the plus side, keeping the bay/tunnel clean gets a lot easier because anything not anchored properly is going to disappear also. Including any employees.

Wow. Prayers to him and his family.
