Yep! We have experienced all those fun issues of owning a SS wash in the last 25 years… We made the upgrades to accept CC’s and now only dispense our tokens. We do accept customers quarters and dollar coins… This conversion has reduced a lot of the daily coccka, and the cameras seem to help...

We consider the Google and Yelp exposure and reviews as necessary evils…. With a steady influx of folks moving into Atlanta, and a limited amount of self service washes available, mostly due to increased property values… we see a lot of out of state license plates visiting our facility… A few...

I would love too….’ However, I don’t have enough squirreled away…. And live in a bubble. I did have a sign up for years saying “ where the heck is John Galt…? Most did not connect the dots… I agree with the church and state approach to Biz… separate them!

I would not recommend that you buy a car washes without owning the underlying asset… or at least a legal document to buy the dirt in the future.

I would recommend that you reach out to “Columbia Insurance Group “ and find their local agent …. good luck! sjb

In April 2022, We added 2 new Evolution Dog Washes to our 8 bay SS in Atlanta… the response has been very positive with a lot of repeat dog washers…. The numbers/revenue is still small, but growing every day. We are in a very dog friendly area with a lot of (expensive) apartments and...

“Worlds Greatest Car Wash” …or soon to be…

Does Muncy have a local nickname…? I suggest you go with - what it is, and where it is located, or where it is located, and what it is…. Keep it simple, you are gonna want to sell it down the road… so avoid “Bobs Car Wash” or …

I wonder how long before we will be accepting cryptocurrencies…. If ever…? go ETH & BTC!

Best to tread lightly, in this crazy world where the folks (Jose in nyc) are thrown in jail and the perps walk… I digress. i typically approach and apologize for being a bugger… but…. There’s no bucket washing unless the timer is ticking, and point to the sign…. most apologize and adapt…...

Much thanks for sharing this info!

Are you using the nickel plated steel tokens… plus a cleaning solution…? thanks!

Are you using nickel plated steel tokens…? Do you add a cleaning solution…? thanks much! sjb

Hi… we made the conversion to only dispensing our $1 tokens at the wash a year ago and have been pleased with the change… However, we have a percentage that have gotten rusty and ugly looking and I don’t want to put them back in circulation until I clean them… They are CT-123 from Van Buren...

Impressive numbers, Congrats!! after 24 years in this gig, we finally did the upgrades to accept CC’s and converted to only dispensing our tokens, we also accept the customers quarters and dollar coins… We should have made the upgrades and CC’s acceptance sooner…. So yes, please learn from my...

I have been pleasantly surprised by the number of customers that only want to hand bucket wash and are now willing to keep the meter running …. When I approach a customer bucket washing for the first time, I apologize for being a bugger, reference the sign, and then they usually apologize to me...

I’m guessing that you did NOT get the memo on “entitlements”…?!! I think vacuums should be a profit center, not a lost leader…. (As we are one of the last SS in metro Atlanta…) I also think there will be an awakening on the express models as they are being built on top of each other in the...

I believe strongly that you need to own the underlying asset, the dirt below the car wash biz, or you are just making $$ for someone else. Rent is a 4 letter word, unless you are the landlord. Only thing worse is a franchise deal on leased land. That is where you have all the headaches, but very...
