Stuff like this is certainly very annoying - you've done a great job of making this person aware that their actions create an impact that others have to deal with. Personally, the whole process of going any further - reporting to police etc. - is just more trouble than it's worth. It takes time...

Agreed - sounds like a motor issue. Other fixes are "papering over the cracks".

I remember checking on our security cameras, to be surprised by a lady of advanced years (maybe 70) who had used a ladder to get on top of her motorhome and scrub the roof with the foam brush. I had to turn it off - the potential for disaster was just too much.

When you're on the other side of the world, everyone else is asleep. So it's just me and a bunch of bots....

Up, down, or sideways on 2022…? - Expect to have slight improvement in 2023 over 2022 figures. Similarly, 2022 was up slightly on 2021. Size and type of car wash….? - 3 bay SS + dog wash, country town & surrounding district of 3,000. Wash isn't our primary source of income, also have an auto...

I've been going too hard lately, so I will be easing off this year. Not a resolution as such, just my exhaustion levels telling we what needs to happen.

Lots of good people in the world that step up to help others. It's unfortunate that the less desirable folks are the ones that stand out sometimes!

I agree that this is something to think about. But for our particular location, there is only a very limited market for "other things", so there would be a limit to how much time, effort and money could be put towards any new services or revenue streams. That said, it certainly is good to sit...

For our particular situation (relatively small carwash in a country town) I think it would be basically impossible to own the carwash remotely. It seems to me that the whole question comes down to two things - (1) Can you find someone skilled and trustworthy enough to run the wash, and (2) Once...

2.5 hours away would be a deal breaker for me. We clean our wash twice every day. I do the morning, and we have 2 staff that cover the afternoon / evening. You might be able to make this work, but personally I would want to be able to visit the wash very regularly.

For all those struggling to find good staff, we've found our solution........meth heads!

Well, we did the exact opposite of what everybody would recommend, but it worked out ok.... My wife and I were looking for commercial property to purchase and lease out. When looking around on various websites, a carwash in a town about 20 minutes drive away came up. We enquired about that...

I tend to agree with your concerns about going big with your first carwash. Obviously it will be a big commitment to purchase the wash, get it running how you want, learn about the systems & how to maintain them etc. etc. To do all of this while working full time and with 3 kids sounds like a...

I just looked at this thread hoping that someone could multiply my income! 😀😉

Thoughts will all those in the affected areas. I can't imagine what it must be like. Hoping that you all get through safe, and that affected communities can re-build.

At this stage it easy to point out lots of issues with electric cars - purchase price, range, battery life etc. But I am of the view that over time, there will be a gradual transition from internal combustion to electric, probably with hybrid vehicles bridging the gap for some time. We also...

I think this is an interesting question to ask any small business owner. If you look at the long hours worked, risks that you take on, responsibilities on your shoulders etc. it often wouldn't make sense to someone else. For me personally it's the opportunity to do things my own way - make...

Agreed - running a carwash is a whole lot easier than dealing with all of the headaches at the auto workshop.

9 cameras and alarm on the equipment room at our 3 SS wash. The best improvement from a security perspective has been really bright LED lighting on all night.

The part of the project that I looked after was the deodorising plant and oil blending facility. After I left the project, a colleague ran the project to install a new solvent extraction plant to replace an older, lower capacity plant. The project was for Graincorp at Numurkah, Victoria.
