    Need Help!

    One of the main problems is the equipment side of things. In the rental business properties generally appreciate and tenants usually don’t destroy the property usually.

    Trash Can Recommendations

    I just use standard gray 32gal cans from Lowe’s no trash bags just take to dumpster and empty. Cut a circular hole on the lid. It’s usually the people that spend no money that give you the most trash, but that’s just part of it. The more times you empty them the more trash you get. But all in...

It doesn’t seem to matter which bay when you select foam brush or tire clean the flo jet won’t start. If you mess with it move it around or take the air supply out and re insert it will...

    Cost of a Stand alone Dog Wash Unit?

    Just look on Kleenrite Not a huge revenue producer but I’ve hade it hot over 14 years and hardly done anything. Do if you have the room I’d recommend it. It’s like self serve it only takes one customer to make a huge mess so no one else can use it till it’s cleaned up. It’s more than paid for...

    First time buyer for automatic two bay wash?

    Sometimes you have to take a leap of faith. It all depends on how much they want for the site. Also maybe they will owner finance some of it. Also if you have a surveillance system you can leave the wash and watch remotely. A lot of systems you can activate remotely. Best thing to do is have a...

    Installing a rollover carwash but my bay is only 28' long

    Spend the money to extend the bay and put the dryer outside. You’ll save money not having to install a short bay kit and if you put dryer outside it will speed things up and install eyes so when car leaves the dryer shuts off. A lot of people rave before the dry time runs out and some drive...

    Installing a rollover carwash but my bay is only 28' long

    You could possibly extend your bay out with a glass inclosure another 1O feet or so. I would do this or nothing. Don’t make your wash where you can only wash a certain size vehicle and limit your income potential. Spend the $ upfront not on short bay kit
