As 2013 nears its last weeks, a new year is upon us and with that, come goals and resolutions. We know a lot of carwashes and detail shops saw an upsurge in sales and many are saying they’re confident with the state of the industry, and the economy.

Therefore, I am wondering:

  1. What are your business plans for 2014?
  2. Do you plan on adding on new equipment or a new profit center?

Let me know by emailing me at [email protected] and your feedback could be used in the December cover story of Professional Carwashing & Detailing.
