    What's my SS Car Wash worth?

    Is the buyer buying your car wash or buying your land ? or both ? I mean if you are selling your wash, the price will be dictated by the cap rate the investor wishes to use. If selling your land, the comps nearby will dictate the price. I say put in a double automatic and get the income...

    Power Tower for WW Razor

    I have them on my laserwash too. I wouldnt have an automatic without them. Do not give undercarriage on your cheapest wash. The power towers are so good they will all buy the cheap wash. And definitely dont walk in front of them or stick your hand out in front of them. It will take the...

    leaking vac hoses

    MEP can you please post a pic of the swivel cuff setup

    leaking vac hoses

    they do leak right there. Some more than others. Usually around 1 notch on the gauge. On a vac that pulls 76-78, that's not a big deal. But when a vac only pulls 40, that's 10%.
