I ordered two of the 12 foot tall flags that go on a straight pole that says "WE ACCEPT CREDIT CARDS". Also if you have a Facebook page make sure you put it on there or any other social media site you may have. I was told it would take 4 months but we were up in probably two months. You will...

So we have found out that the NCDOT is widening the road our car wash is on. We have seen the plans and they are taking us for sure.We have a 4 bay self service wash with 4 vacuums and vending. It is a all brick structure with a metal roof. I know for sure we are gonna get screwed on this deal...

You will not totally keep a rogue out of your business. Has anyone noticed these plastic tooth picks laying around your site? I was told crooks keep them to try and pick locks or trigger machines to drop products with.

It is quite possible that the lender doesn't want to combine the land and building loan with the equipment loan.This way if you were to be foreclosed on they could get the equipment out of the building to recoup some of their money. We actually have two LLC's at our location. Harper's...

Good luck with that.... ask them to go buy them a pressure cleaner and wash the mud off in their driveway if it isn't a big deal. You will not win catering to them.

We have lost all respect for Mr and Mrs Public. I could write a book and I haven't been doing this nearly as long as most of you older vets. We have now been doing it for 11 years if you can believe that Randy. We actually had a Granddaddy that once a month would come around the building from...

Here is a good one...I have watched this woman for the better part of five years (i have never been there when she was)empty her car out and fill an empty can to the top. Finally a couple weeks back I looked at the cameras and there IT was. She normally takes 10-15 minutes as she gets in no...

Our bay #1 is our biggest loser. The reason is coming off the highway you have to maneuver the vac island and its just difficult to get into this bay. I have seriously considered putting end walls in the front and back of bay 1 with the front being a commercial entrance and putting a small...

I'm in NC and have not shut my SS wash down, but what gets me is neither have the tunnels with several employees. I have been going to the wash at night when no one is there and cleaning up and disinfecting all the touch spots ie. Gun grips, foam brush poles, changer pockets etc.

I was using them as well for some service and noticed an outrageous trip charge even though it would be on days they were to be in my area. After checking with some other operators they were also charging them the same high trip charge. I can understand the TC if they come up for you...

IMO the key is finding a great buffer man or woman. With todays automotive finishes if they dont know what they are doing they can do more damage than good. If they can buff black and not burn the clear coat off the vehicle they are a keeper.

In our Town if you don't have signs posted warning customers to not do wash outs ie. mud, grass, mulch etc. or they will not allow you to pursue small claims court proceedings. But if you have it posted and they really screw a bay up you can charge them with a clean up fee based on the time it...

Hell to the YES I'm packing while there and when I leave there I'm packing and all the time I am. Its that one time you dont that somethings gonna happen. Remember that we would rather be tried by 8 then carried by 6 if you catch my drift. I remember I was at the wash late one night and had my...

That would be fine and dandy but the free loaders that stop by every two weeks and unload their car and never wash or vacuum will still leave their trash on your island in a plastic Walmart or Dollar General bag. I have finally caught a few of them and explained that I have to pay for them to...

Not with duct tape or bailing wire.....
