I got a quote recently for some canister vacs with booms. 3 vac spaces, so two single drops on the outside, and two double drops for the in-between spaces. $34K. I about fell out of my chair.

Are you talking about central vac systems or solo canister vacs?

If PFAS are detected in your water, then they were already there in the water your municipality provided to you!

Find out more details about the drop in business. Was the wash taking cash in '23? Then went cashless in 24'? Credit card customers spend more per wash than cash customers do, so the drop in revenue does not make sense to me. Plus accepting cash is pain. You will need someone trustworthy to...

"Field engineered". Ha. I like that term. Seems like it's a nicer way of saying "fubar-ed", "Jerry-rigged" or "hodgepodged".

I may be wrong, but I believe Guardian controllers were made by Tommy's. That system has been EOL'd, but will still be your best bet on getting some info.

You need to call tech support at the manufacturer.

I'm going to guess that this car is 15+ years old?

You and the buyer's appraiser are probably going to want to use my wash that I just sold as a comp. DM me to discuss if that comes up.

A 33% price increase will not translate into a 33% increase in top-line revenue. If your "realtor" is saying this to you, you've hired the wrong person. You need a broker representing you that understands small businesses. To illustrate the point further, if you theoretically raised your...

Sorry to hear. Not sure where you are, but many cities allow a like-for-like equip exchange without a permit so long as you are not modifying incoming electric/water supply or doing construction. A permit to add plastic wall paneling is crazy since it is aesthetic. You must be in a city that...

Interesting combo, and not one seen very often. Please share your thoughts on why you did/didn't select the equipment.

Here's some info to get you started. https://sonnysdirect.com/mini_tunnel chain conveyor pros - tried and true industry standard - economical cons - customers have to aim tire into a 12" wide track. - perceived wheel damage belt conveyor pros - easier for customers to get onto/off - no...

Interesting. That's a heck of a detail operation you've got. My previous comment about ingress/egress and turning radius' are still valid. Also, do yourself a favor and look at other options besides Mark VII. Especially at the Petit 360.

When installing new equip, I prefer to ask for forgiveness instead of permission. But that's just me.

Taco truck rent is $3k per year? Seems really low.

Probably in Miami.

Not a good layout. Only one point of entry/exit and most turning radius' are too tight. No way you'd get large vehicles/trailers/RV's etc to make the turns into the bays. You could do a pretty decent express tunnel layout though..

Actually the trick is attracting the 4th level of membership customer... the zombie customer. This is the group that joins your membership club, and forgets about it. They never use your wash, so you don't spend any money on them, but they keep paying you every month. Just like the gym...

Random. Are most people supposed to know that? I was thinking Greater Tampa Area.
