So I was checking out a competitors wash and went to test the hp soap but no water is coming out. I feel the pressure behind the trigger (blocked nozzle) before I realized what I did I grabbed a pick out of the door of my truck and unplugged it. What would you guys do if you were in this situation?
 
If I knew the owner/operator well enough to know he'd appreciate it, I'd absolutely fix it. If I didn't, I'd leave a note over the coin acceptor so no one loses money and whoever finds it knows there's a problem. I've actually done that several times, I drive all over Texas and test the washes I see.

I wouldn't fix anything at any wash without permission, purely for liability. You never know what kind of a-holes are out there. There's a guy who has bought up a bunch of washes east of me, I've never met him but I've heard many stories that are actually hard to believe, but I know and trust the people who told me. I still wouldn't load up a timer to destroy a pump for him, but if he had a chance to do me the way he's done the other guys I would.

If you’re ever driving around Southeastern North Carolina come stop by either wash, seems there’s always something to work on , especially after I get home. you have my permission 😬

My girlfriend has family up there, so that's a possibility. I'll be sure to pack a few tools if I ever visit them with her. I have actually cleared a clogged tip for someone I know with nothing but my Leatherman.
