The forum ran a contest asking operators what the Forum had done for them. These are some of the comments.

 

Joe Cortina, from CO:

KNOWLEDGE!! SHARING OF INFORMATION!! The Forum has truly been a great find for me. I have read just about every post, ingesting those nuggets of wisdom from other operators who have the experience that I do not. I have a place where I can ask questions of professionals, and share experiences.
I am introduced to folks thinking of building a car wash, and the first thing I recommend is that they visit this site. There is not another comparable site.

The forum has made me money, saved me LOTS of money, given me ideas or spurred some of my own that may or may not have materialized, but most importantly has made me some of my best friends.

Roger Powell, VA

The Forum convinced me to dispense only tokens from my American bill changer fitted with Coinco validators. It stopped the stringing which caused excessive losses (without having to change validators).

Steve Hall, TN

The forum has really screwed me up...I was a pretty sane individual before I logged on the forum and got the idea of building a car wash. I researched at least 200 pages of the self serve . I really went off the deep end and contacted some vendors..signed a equipment contract shortly after .Then I started on the building ..I plan to open in two weeks .Thanks to everyone for answering all my stupid (greenhorn) questions...all I think about is washing cars

Mark Hartzer, MI

The Forum has helped me understand my customers wants, needs and concerns. I enjoy helping others fix their own washes.

Jim Holve, CA

The Forum and this site allowed me to develop a successful multi-vending machine for car washers that is known worldwide in a short 5 years time.

Shawn Brady, LA

It has taught me that success comes slowly via much planning. The forum is my concrete floor, from others success I build mine by learning from all who have given so much for so little back. God save the forum.

To be succinct, everything positive. You couldn't subscribe to enough magazines that would produce information what is available on the Forum, for free. The information available is equivalent to years of study at a University. Knowledge is everything.

Micah Savell, FL

The forum has been a tremendous asset where I could ask questions and recieve quality answers from seasoned operators. So many knowledgeable people who have been willing to share their experiences and help others work through their problems and find solutions. The forum is a great place. Many thanks to our Guru and all the participants/

Linda Clark, OK

This forum has given us confidence! As new operators we have found ourselves in tough situations and out of options of who/how/where to seek help. This forum has given us invaluable help almost immediately (usually within an hour or two) when the problem was posted here. Thanks to Bill for making this forum available and to the many who are willing to share their knowledge and experience!! Priceless!

Ed Snare, FL

The in three years forum has taught me about repairs, how the experts run their washes, and helped me with equipment decisions and a vendor dispute.

Howard McFarland, ON, CAN

The forum and it's content have given me the assurance that starting my own car wash is the best decision I will ever make for my family.

Aaron Salisburg, MI

The information and help was derectly related to my promotion as GM of Speedy Wash, and the desire to be an owner of a wash.

Michael, MO

In a nutshell. It has kept my sanity in bad times. Car wash owners stick together, if not competing. The forum provides, info, venting, and a place to meet cool chicks. I made the last one up. To many words, cross me off.

Russell Tarpey, OK

I started reading the forum in doing homework for starting my first car wash. So in order, the forum helped me: solidify my business plan, get through the equipment selection, get through the build process (thanks Mike!), get through the start up process, set up operations, identify problems, troubleshoot problems, fine tune operations, pick quality products for customers, and throughout it all a place to vent, wail, cry, bleed, triumph, sweat, clean, shout, scream, cheer, and a place of understanding what I was going through.

Earl Weiss, IL

It has given me access to ideas, opinions, and information, including value on cleaning solutions, a place to get feed back on my ideas from sign wording to promotions and other thoughts.

Jim Caudill, OH

I get from this forum, a sense of community: i.e., the sharing of expertise, support, and empathy of my fellow Car Wash owner/operators.
