    I bought 2 small car washes this year. I have been starving for knowledge and this has been a great find to get my mind spinning. I just wish they had more episodes.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Jason & Brandi Hess of Suzy Q’s Car Wash | Kleen-Rite Radio Ep 8
Q: What was the biggest hurdle in deciding to overhaul everything at once?
The biggest hurdle was committing to a full rebuild after realizing the existing equipment and infrastructure would require extensive and ongoing maintenance, which would divert time and money away from running the business; once they discussed it, they decided to bite the bullet and do it all at once to prevent recurring issues.
Ross Weimer of Bozeman Distributors | Kleen-Rite Radio Ep 9
Q: What differentiates a distributor from trying to go it alone on site installs or repairs?
Distributors provide boots-on-the-ground support, stocked parts and rebuild kits, and a deep understanding of common issues, which minimizes downtime and avoids expensive, last-minute purchases.
Ross Weimer of Bozeman Distributors | Kleen-Rite Radio Ep 9
Q: Ross, what could a new customer expect when reaching out to Bozeman Distributors?
Bozeman offers rapid response with eight trucks on the road, site assessments, and clear cost estimates, with the option to perform on-site work or remote guidance to get the site started quickly.
Keith Lutz, Kleen-Rite Vice President | Kleen-Rite Radio Ep 13
Q: Where did Kleen-Rite start, and how did it evolve into today's distribution and equipment business?
Keith outlines the journey from a small family car wash to a distribution company, driven by Harold Mckonly's entrepreneurial mindset, a focus on meeting local needs, and gradual expansion into parts, supplies, and eventually national distribution, with a consistent message to remain a reliable supplier.
Conversation with Ascentium Capital | Kleen-Rite Radio Ep 12
Q: Could you touch on the differences between the equipment finance lease, SBA loan, line of credit, and traditional bank financing?
Tony explains that equipment finance leases offer quick access to capital with minimal underwriting and can include soft costs, whereas traditional bank financing involves more rigorous financial documentation and longer timelines; lines of credit provide flexibility but may be more expensive; SBA loans fit larger real estate considerations but come with a longer, more involved process. The choice depends on speed, scope of the project, and how much non-equipment costs you want to finance.
