First, here in Utah I have seen multiple people struggle with customer service at my local TSC, mostly dealing with bad inventory and empty shelves. I have learned to go to CAL Ranch, one of their main competitors. Second, and this question is a bit out of context, but I am curious, don't...

A potential flaw I see is that it appears that when using card or account balance, to start say a self serve wash, you have to pick how much time you want at the beginning, and it does not count up. I am personally not a fan, as it may leave a customer with not enough time, or way too much. I...

Okay, not looking to get crazy specific here on this question, as I know I will be painting with a broad brush, but what kind of $ do y’all spend on heating the floors during the winter. I assume boilers are most common, but obviously could be wrong. Also fully aware of the obvious that...

My apologies, all I can provide is advice, not a cut and dry answer, but what I would do, is do a small test spot on a sign and see what it does. If i had to guess, they are probably pretty durable, because they are designed to be exposed to wash soap, and the elements. As for sealers, if you...

Thanks all for your input! I think when the time comes, I would probably do a small sampling of the specialty machines, for those customers who want to use it, but I don't see the need to install a fancy, high dollar unit for each spot. Also, seems like the common opinion is that the Fraga Matic...

Hey, thanks you all for the input! I thumbed around for a minute and looked at some images of the different vacs, and I saw when looking at the Fragra-Matics machine that it has “Super” and “Turbo” vac. Is one just more powerful than the other? I don’t actually remember ever seeing a machine...

Only one meter in these bays, i assume that both hoses turn on at the same time.

I have seen something like that. Their is a wash very close to where I work my day job that has it. If I remember I will post a picture of it tomorrow.

Looking to hear what the common consensus is on vacuums. I see one old thread on here, but not much else. I see many self serve car washes with just normal vacuums, but then others that have these up town fancy, does everything machines. What do you all think, what are your preferences? As a...

Thank you Sir for the advice! One think I have been doing lately is whenever I want to wash my truck, I always go to a different wash, and like you said, I have seen everything from the best to the worst! And yes, I realize that the initial time investment is most defiantly their, and thankfully...

Well, another hard ish question, how would you suggest I proceed? I would like to start evaluating locations, if for nothing else to at least get practice at it. If you have anything to share on what you use I would love to know. I would also like to start “networking” with people in the...

@OurTown Thank you for your reply! And same to all the rest of you. I may have left it out in my first post, but I fully understand that those individuals put in the work. And I plan to do the same thing. I am greatfull that I have a lot of drive. It has help me accomplish a lot. I got strait...

Being that this is my first post, I will start of by giving a introduction about myself, followed by an unfortunately long list of caveats before I actually ask any questions. This post may take patience to read, so if you are not willing, please feel obliged to carry on elsewhere with something...
