A loudspeaker?!? On the days that a facility processes 1000+ cars most know that it is non-stop for about 8 to 9 hours. That is 8 or 9 hours that the blowers are on non-stop. How loud to you jack the loudspeaker? Most operators have a flashing Instructional Sign (I do) plus who ever is loading...

You are obligated to do whatever is required per the loan agreement you signed. If the agreement says you need to supply this and that, well you have to do it or you are violating a loan covenant and that simply means you are in default on the loan. I say this based on my experience as a former...

It seems to me you made a poor decision (5 days to fix yourself). The 5 down days gave your customers ample time to check out the competition and no matter how loyal your customers are or you think they are, if they wanted their cars washed and shined, they went elsewhere.

Motoman - I did not miss the point at all. My recommendation (also the recommendation of D. Taylor) is why not reach out to Paul Fazio (top dog at Sonny's) and infrom him. I have a Sonny's Tunnel and if the scenario described above happened in my market, that is what I would do.

Why not send a letter to Paul Fazio at Sonny's and detail your concerns?!?

Since you will not have any rent expense, start spending some money on a lawyer and see if he can resolve this for you. Then can come back and tell us how this all played out.

Chicago huh?!? 3 words for you; CASH IS KING.

Why don't you do it and then tell us if you're saving $'s.

So you cash in some stock that probably leads to Capital Gains Tax; you redeem some 401(k) assets that has tax implications and early withdrawal penalty - and the bank turns its back on you. What a crappy situation to be in. Regarding the current situation in the financial services sector, does...

Ben's Car Wash - in this post as in prior posts, you are leaving out the important details. Why did they foreclose on you? Understanding that the FL real estate market tanked, did the value of your loan exceed the value of the underlying collateral? Your bank did not just show up and foreclose...

Guess it was not a "sweet" enough deal to make them change. Facility manager probably doesn't have the authority to do something anyway - you should have gone to the Postmaster - that's what I did.

Not familiar w/ Water Wizard but when my pressure dropped, it reminded me to look at the nozzles on my hi-pressure unit - that was the problem. Nozzles had worn??? small openings became bigger - switched them out - psi back to normal, H2O usage dropped.

Dividends as well as LT Gains have been taxed at 15% for several years now. So if your accountant just came up with this, I am sorry to break the news to you - he has not been doing a good job for you.

Actually, the original loan request was for $25B not $5B. Additionally, they have a lot in common. 1) all 3 employ members of UAW 2) all 3 have labor costs that are out of control 3) all 3 failed to react to changes in the market-place 4) all 3 failed to react to/ recognize the shift in...

Sounds like something other than Rain X is on your winshield and wiper blades - maybe some hydraulic oil?? I have been washing my car basically everyday for 3 years w/ Rain'X and leave it parked in front of my office for all customers to see. I have never had a problem. And to add to Steve's...

The main factor behind a business failing (public or private) is management. Yes economic factors play into things but management needs to adjust and adapt to economic cycle changes.

While in Fort Lauderdale, I came upon a Full Service wash (Majestic on Federal Highway 1) and the 4 times I past by it, they were busy. 2 blocks to the N there is a sign stating that a Cactus Car Wash is coming soon. Based on the Cactus website, the new site (if not a company store) will have...

It's all in the new edition of my book. If you want to discuss it further, I'll be hanging out at the SAFETVEYR booth.;) -Steve:) I think you just plugged your book?!?

I have ICS system - no complaints. I was once told that Unitec makes the DRB XPT. Not sure about the above statement but the Unitec Portal TI and the DRB XPT sure do look the same.
