Randy, the last time I had any verbal interchange with him was in early 2008. It was about the CFL lights that I installed on my vac islands. Once you start believing that the whole world is against you, you begin to justify your actions by the presumed hostility of the world. Mind you, it's a...

I'm against adding more toys until the economy starts and upward climb. I would rather give the customer more bang for the buck than more options for his already streached Dollar. Vacs produce good revnue and are easy on maintenance. Customers are looking for deals and cost savings today but...

Soapy, I added Tire Shine to one of my washes, a 5 bay. I have mixed feelings on the merit of adding the Tire Shine. It is messy and requires daily cleaning of the brick walls and floor. I originally added it for increased revenues. However, I converted 4 of the 5 bays to a $5 start price for 20...

Nexux Thanks for the tip Bill. I will contact Mac. Enjoy the Holiday Weekend.

I have Magic Wand Nexus built in May 2005. I have had several power failures and as a result the eprom chip loses all data. I have a TWIDO CPU and I suspect that the battery backup is dead. However, I cannot find any information about replacing the battery in my manual. I replaced the eprom and...

So Big Rand has been gaslighting me. He talks a good story!

Soapy there are two things you should consider before springing for any kind of food with the Randy in attendance. He was selected as the next Food Vs Man person for the Food Network. He was also barred from a certain Cruise Line for eating all the Prime Rib during a two week cruise. All means...

Run, don't walk to a good CPA. Get all the pertinent information available and let them guide you. There is one gottcha, business personal property tax under the NC Machinery Act. Not an expensive tax but can be if you don't list your machinery and file the information.

I like Ted's and Wally's ideas. I also like using the pit water for weep. Of course the pit water would have to be filtered. Fresh water is expensive with the sewer costs at 1 1/2 times the water used for weep. Soapy has a great idea. I have something similar to what he described that I'm using...

Randy is number 1 in my part of the country. Try him, you'll like him and get the service you deserve.

Randy and I were talking tonight discussing ways to save on weep water and sewer costs. Use of grey water, weep filtered pit water, weep closed loop water. These are just a few ideas of what we discussed. What ideas do the Forum members have? One of my locations uses reclaim water for weep...

Bill, Happy Thanksgiving to you and your Family. Thanks very much for the tip on the presoak. It was an easy fix and we overlooked that area. Thanks again!

A very special Happy Thanksgivng to all. Please enjoy the Holiday with Family and or friends giving thanks for what we have and to each other.

Hi Mac, Your increase in revenue looks good and thank you for the feedback. There is little data for what I want to do and your information is helpful. It is expensive to upgrade to do but in today's economy marketing is the key.

No, I don't think I would limit the washes. Most of the washes purchased are the top two, $9 and $10. I would expect the same percentages on wash selection.

My thread said a Max of 20 gallons. The most it would cost me is 20 gallons at .15 or $3.00. My Volvo fullup is 16 gallons.

I am considering two methods of discounts at the pump. The one that would produce more customers, in my estimation, is giving .15 cents off per gallon with max of 20 gallons. The other would be the standard $1.00 off with gas purchase. Considering that the wash is located 1/4 mile away the .15...

The wash is located about 1/4 mile from the convenience store and on the same side of the street.

I've been approached by a convenience store owner to sell car washes at his pumps. I have a Hamilton Goldline and need a pos with a remote. The Hamilton add ons are very expensive and at this point I cannot justify the cost or payback. I checked with Unitec about their Wash Select 11 with pos...

Waxman, very well said and to the point.
