Are all of your services divisible by a $1? Mine aren't. That was my only reason for wanting someone there to explain.

I asked a local junk dealer who specializes in metal recycling and store buyouts. Enough businesses go under that he sees these about twice a year. I just told him to find me a couple and 3 or 4 months later, he had 2. I repained one bright blue and it looks nothing ike a cigarette sign.

Do you keep an attendent on duty just on a busy day or even on a overcast day? I only have my Son there on the beutiful sunny weekends, I am there at the Auto repair that is attached to the wash all week. The change machine going down doen't bother me, the alarm company will call me, it is set up though the alarm panel.

My employees are cross-trained for carwash and detail.
Sure, I send them home if there are a few bad weather days in a row as well as few cars to detail, but there's always a project to do, something that needs fixing or things to clean, lubricate and maintain at a carwash, so I tend to keep the help very busy, active and helping me make money. When things are clean, lubed and tidy, the carwash and detail shop just do better in many important ways

My attendant is there except on bad weather days. Two overcast days this week have been super busy. Since I have signage that says an attendant is there Mon-Sat 10-5, I try to keep someone there unless it is rainy. You could make nice signage like mine that simply says attendant on duty and have the attendant carry it out on the lot when he/she is there. That would be very visible. People notice.

I definitely need to get some good signage made up. People always tell me: "I didn't even know anyone was here."

Yeah, I hear you there. I get calls sometimes when I have an attendant there. I then call my attendant who helps the person. It is usually someone at the ACW while the attendant is spraying out one of the SS bays.
