I agree billboards work ,had 8 x 16 sign 1 mile from wash upon entering city limits. Other billboard was 60 miles away. I went to the work to get them permitted by the state in my name.
I did post cards in the past and not much response . I found grand opening is better with free car washes and tied in with coke cola or pepsi for giveaway. set hours for event and have staff on hand to demo to any new users. Also be patient with seniors and offer to wash their car to speed the...
I have operated 1 car wash in a town of 900 with county population of 2200 and only wash in 45 miles. Total waste of time,energy and money. My highest gross was $ 17000 and change. Thats with $ 3.00 start for 4 minutes . You do not even own the dirt. Run from this deal !
I've been @ it for 35 years, keeps me out of the bars, got a social life , can work for minimum wage. I get all the drama I need everyday and clean up after the lowlifes.LOL

High school boy caught boom hose and ripped it down, of course I ripped him for not paying attention. He said he would pay the damages.Week later I call his dad for my money, won't pay as I yelled @ his son. I put dad's name up on my electronic sign board demanding payment, had my money...

I will be going this year to see for myself about future attendance. It's been 7 years since the last show and I was disappointed that self serve wasn't represented much.Those of us that recall when the early bird seminar for ss was standing room only.
