    Increase to $3 to start

    just went from $4 to $5, in two weeks only one person asked about if the price went up. Most of my customers spend more than $5 so it doesnt make any difference to them. Only the cheapskate people that want to spend the minimum and mess up your place. You cant even buy gum and a soda anymore...

    Why is hiring a Maintenance / Mechanic so hard?

    Where I live, it is extremely hard to find anyone that has those skills. And if they do most likely they already have a job. I have to do most of my own maintenance. I tried teaching someone but instead of learning he almost fell off a ladder. It wasn't like this 5 + years back.

    Cryptopay Cryptotap Concerns

    i think it's a complete waste of money having two separate devices. Just adding more things to repair and expense. If ALL credit cards become tap, and only having a tap/push button device would be great. No more swiping just tap and push the button to add more time. .

    Who says Self Serves are dying?

    A really good self serve can potentially make more net profit than an express. SS's don't have the expense/liability/maintenance like an express. Obviously express sounds really good....500 to 1000 cars per day. What happens when other express builds near you? Car count drop. It sounds like...

    Erie Foam Master

    There is local self wash using an Erie foam master brush possibly 4 3/4 long but does not feel like the real hog hair. It seems like that brush material lasts a lot longer than the real hog hair. Anyone know what it is?
