 Good book to learn the basics April 12, 2008
Book great for the entry thinking person to learn the basics of how car washes work. Defenitly a great starting point. Dives a bit deaper than just basics and sets you up for understanding the biz.
 not great May 17, 2007
The estimate for an automatic wash was not accurate. I checked with a national company and the price was double what the book listed, also the book had typos (very unprofessional).
 Good basic information January 12, 2007
This book was just what I was hoping it would be. It covered all the basics in helping me decide if a car wash was the type of business I wanted to pursue including great information to help in writing the business plan.
Informative January 4, 2007
This book had a ton of information on starting a car wash. It elaborated in seperate chapters the information for each type of car wash. It contains websites, groups, and magazines that you can subscribe to to help in starting your business. I would recommend to anyone interested in starting a car wash.
 Get a clear picture February 27, 2006
Prior to reading this book, I had visions of grandeur. I envisioned cars rolling in, dirt being washed away, and my bank account growing exponentially. After reading this book, I know these things can still happen but they require much more work than I expected. This book is very helpful in informing you about what is required of you to open a car wash. Then you can make a better evaluation before you jump into something and regret it.
