I need a used Cat 3535. Or even just the head. Let me know if you one to sell. Thanks.

Don't do it. It's not easy to set up a touchless tunnel that actually works.

Whoa. WTF? $7.5M and the cw owner wasn't the one that pulled the trigger. Ridiculous. I could see this in CA, but it surprised me this was in FL.

I know where one is in Socal. No idea about Chicagoland.

Where are you located?

You should ask on Talkcarwash on FB. Lots of belt operators on there.

I sold two washes last year. I will say this. Appraisers are idiots, and since they are hired by the banks, they are always very conservative with their valuations, to protect the banks of course. I almost had a sale blow up last year because the appraisal came in stupid low, which lowered...

Well, picking out the soap is one of the most important first steps to starting a new car wash business. Make sure it smells good.

Already filled with water??? Well, that's a new one for me. Never heard of a customer bringing their own water in a bucket.

Increase your start price. If you increase it to $5 for example, you will still get $10 from the bucket washers. $5 to fill their bucket; $5 to rinse/SF.

Seriously? This is par for the course of SS washes. Mud comes with the territory. It's def not my favorite thing to clean up, but it is what is. I draw the line at oil, paint, construction debris, hay, etc.

Just like Yelp, I don't respond to bullies.

Can you post pictures here? What vehicles make/model? What kind of sticker? The fact that the supplied invoice to repair is from a detail shop, and not the dealership basically confirms that the sticker is an aftermarket add-on. Denied!

Car washes, of any type, are "single purpose" buildings. That's why banks hate to finance them because they can't be easily/quickly turned into something else.

Costco/Target center adjacent to Chik-Fil-A, Raising Cane's, In n Out or Starbucks.
