35 cents. 2 color. Minimum 10,000. Customfresheners.com

I have a 6 bay auto center with a IBA attached. I already have labor on site. I would like to install a prep gun in front of my IBA. What HP, pressure, brand, etc. do you recommend ? Anyone have used set up they want to sell? My plan is to prep problem areas of cars (bottom and back)...

Robert, what does this mean?: "Higher price makes some difference in average sales but most comes from the difference in the take rate or sales mix. Take rate for lower average wash for $3.00 is over 50 percent, top package is less than 20 whereas nearly the opposite is the case for other wash."

the original issue is how do you get a $10 ticket ($1,000,000 /100,000 cars) when you are starting at $3, right? What is the true average ticket (or range) for a $3/ free vac type of wash? This is essentially the question, right? If so, what is the answer? (I'm trying to follow and not...

Join Aoca (American oil change association) and ask your questions there. I think you will get a lot more input. Branded oil deals usually look like this: you get to display their brand, they help with training (not sure of quality), you must use their oil, they give you some money and THEY...

Rudy, Did you ever find a motor at a reasonable price? I am looking for one or two Thanks Turbo

Robert, I have a slow friction in bay automatic attached to a busy 6 bay quick lube and auto repair center. It is right next to a gas station which I don't own but customers can pay at the pump for a carwash. There are four $3/free vacuum sites within a 1.5 miles of my location. Im...

I respectfully disagree that FREE is not profitable; however I own a quick lube with an IBA attached. I give away a free Carwash, free popcorn, free wifi and a free air freshener with ANY service. Direct cost of Carwash is 50 cents, popcorn might cost a nickel, wifi has no cost and the air...

I bought a used one, repaired it and let people use it for free. I put it by the change machines. It had signs on all sides that said "FREE MAT CLEANER" My wash was slow and I wanted to make my wash a better value and give people a reason to return People used it and liked it (Since then I...

Gear head The math error was mine. I thought you had written 30 cph. My mistake. If there is an attendant we think we could do 20 cph max. That is with attendant making sure everything going smoothly, making change, etc

Gearhead: isn't 3 minutes per car 20 cars per hour (I'm not trying to be sarcastic)? I'm pretty sure my Nu star soft touch plus will wash a car in 3 minutes including dryer. Wash n shine: what is the high pressure spinning tire device called at approx 1:55 and does it work?

1When I sign contracts for garbage, uniforms, alarm, etc I write: "no auto renewal" by hand by my signature. It works. 2. I separate recycling out and save significantly on that. 3. I split my 2 recycling and 1 trash dumpster with another business My net cost is $150/month for the three 2...

I can't find it. Am I another human that can't read signs? I have a water softener, mat cleaner, (2) weep misers a treadle, some vendors and a RO production unit I would like to sell. I thought there was a classified section; where? Thanks

As a daily reader and infrequent poster I'm glad Robert is on this forum. Sometimes I don't get his point, frequently disagree, frequently his comments motivate more comments that enrich the forum and he also presents some surprising facts (ie that he uses waterless Carwash-I didn't think it...
