    Perhaps a nice coffee machine for the customers while they wait like the one below.... I can help with one of them if you're interested

    Also have several other types of coffee machines to suit whatever you'd be looking for

    How long would it take, roughly, for a wash and hoover ?
    Avoid biting when a simple growl will do

    Default Car Wash

    We had some friends up for a few days this last week and we drove past when they where doing the signage for it.

    My friend was saying that he had his car, ( large Toyota Yute), done before they came up from the Midlands, and his vehicle is usually filthy because he is a builder and they keep horses.

    He couldn't believe it when five Peruvian looking guys took at it for about an hour to do a full valet, inside and out for fifteen pounds.
    He was delighted with the job they did, but it took them another half an hour to find his keys that they misplaced. (they found them down the back of the rear seats).

    Good luck to these people that are opening this type of business all over the UK, but I wonder how long it will be before our lazy brethren will complain about foreigners taking our jobs.
    A man who fears suffering is already suffering from what he fears.

    We were at Bubbles today and most impressed with the set-up. Mini valet done in about 45minutes, and some more detailed bits to be done next time when they are fully mobile and can come to Thurso.

    I dropped hints about a drinks machine and some comfy couches but go prepared on a fine day with a camping chair and a picnic!

    We went into Wick with one car whilst the other was being attended to, then swapped and went to Wickers World for a late lunch when the muckier one was being treated.

    Got some flyers:-

    Wash and Dry for a car is £5, Van £6, and 4x4 is £6

    plus windows cleaned inside, door jambs cleaned and tyres dressed £7.50

    plus dashboard and vinyls, rubbish removed and ashtrays cleaned, interior vacuum, seats, carpets, boots, mud flaps, wheel arches, tyres and alloys cleaned and dressed £17.50 ..... this is called a Mini Valet

    plus T-cut bodywork where needed, tar spots removed, de-grease engine bay, under bonnet and component parts £30......this is a Full Valet

    Engine bay cleaned as a separate job £9.


    Good luck with the venture, and hope the mobile at home service takes off too.
    Making tomorrow`s memories today
