Thanks jon. Of the two handhelds, the touchscreen that looks like an iPad vs the one that uses a stylus, which one is your preference? The portable printer on the waist doesn't seem robust or fast enough to do the job. so is the workflow for a full serve customer: go to the customer, go to...

what's been the latest with people's experience with the handhelds? i remember seeing Mister Car Wash in lubbock using them 3 years back. have the devices gotten better? is it worth the $4500 up front cost and the yearly module cost? i have a full serve that on the weekends gets busy and I'm...

i agree it seems excessive. i was sharing what our simonize rep put together for us. he ran the maintenance for oasis car washes back in the day.

what's the harm in leaving the car in neutral and engine running and not having anyone in it? we do that and haven't had any issues. maybe it's fullserve 101 but help me understand your concern

walk away and keep searching for where you can buy the real estate. whenever someone is selling you something, they know more about it than you do. unless you're super savvy and are a distributor for a chemicals/equipment company, it has to a land play.

we went with mobil1 lube express and couldn't be happier with our rebranding. mobil 1 has been advertising on tv for this last year and brand awareness is helpful.

drb's email support is very good. i've never called them because i let my managers call them. what im in love with is their iphone app? how can anyone stay on top of what's going on without it?

we sold 480 dollars today in cards and candles and soap. stationary is getting to be huge.

it's an interesting topic to me. how worthwhile is it to lock people in at a discounted rate when they are likely going to come to you anyway? there has been a lot of drb marketing that has gone into this and i think many operators have accepted it as a panacea. i think for a full serve it...

hand washing 150-200 a day .... im impressed.

this is directly from my wells fargo sba banker. hope it helps The loan we did for you was a 7(a) loan. The other SBA loan option is a 504 loan. The main differences between the two loans is that the 7(a) loan is one loan coming from Wells Fargo Bank and we get a 75% guarantee from the SBA...

it was for a new purchase but a refinance will be easier because they'll have your history of payments. it's a no brainer in this interest rate environment: get an sba and get the right wells fargo loan initiator to start the process. they get commission on the origination and if you find...
