Squatters don't have it as eas anymore in Florida, thanks the the new law that Governor DeSantis signed. "But now, Florida is removing squatters' rights, which will allow property owners to get rid of squatters instead of having to go through a formal process to evict them. Lawmakers passed Bill 621 unanimously in the state, giving police the right to immediately remove squatters."
The hard working man needs to follow the rules like everybody else. He's not special. And he's not entitled to squat wherever and do whatever in whoevers parking lot rent free. Jesus... You obviously don't know shit about business.
Likely the mayor and the city council want the dozens of these pop up in a month car wash businesses to open up in town. Where I live we have gotten no less than ten in the last 5 years or so. Places like Mr Wash and such. They are everywhere now. They are bright shiny neon led having places. They inevitably start looking like crap within a year or two but I imagine the city makes a quick chunk of money in the meantime.
Actually the news didn't add more to the story. They get permission from the owner of the parking lot so they can be there. I them personally they clean my truck every week. The police dept and the code enforcement is trying to extort them for money. I've seen them on several occasions come by with their hand out, making demands and harassing them. These are very corrupt people from Cuba running these agencies in South FL and these people stood 10 toes down not handing over their hard earned money to them. What they think these people make millions of dollars a week from a car wash business?? The car wash people are very decent people and hard working. The people of South Florida is being over ran by Cubans attacking small businesses with their Mob tactics and we are not going for it.
In America, there are rules to follow. We're slowly turning into a 3rd world country with vendors pushing carts around, selling products on the street, etc. If he's mobile, he need to be mobile. Everybody tries to find a way to skirt the rules, which is what he's obviously doing here. Of course, there are lots of rules that don't make sense, but thats where changing the rules/laws comes into play. If you build a car wash, had invested 100's of thousands of dollars, and some *sshole shows up in a van and parks in a spot in the mall across the street, you wouldn't be happy either. Same thing with the food trucks and vendors. If he's mobile, he should be moving around. Not in the same place every day. Simple!
The part of Florida I'm from has 4 different automated car washing services within less than a mile of one another. I bet my bottom dollar, none of them do half as good of a job as this guy. Shame on that city for trying to keep a hard working man down.
It doesn't make it right. You are taking extreme examples and saying that because this or that group are violating the laws, everyone should be able to violate the laws. What if I wanted to park on the sidewalk in my city, and told the police when they gave me a ticket, "Wait, you allow these homeless people here to live in tents and make the sidewalk filthy, but you don't allow me to park on the sidewalk a block away? If sidewalks are allowed to be residences, then I should be allowed to park on them, too, especially since I live in my car, so it's a residence as far as I am concerned." Tax payers pay in part to have rules, and if we are saying that city ordinances don't matter, then everything goes to hell very quickly.
Peoples cars are getting stolen everyday around this area but this is what their town and law enforcement focuses on , a family guy trying to make a living washing cars. Not finding real criminals. GREAT WORK! Who is the real criminals here??
The mobile car wash where I live never does business at the same spot everyday (for 6 years), they go where they're needed. This man is a fixed business and must abide by fixed business regulations. He drives to work everyday just like most people do and he brings the things he needs with him just like lots of people do.
An insane amount of businesses closed due to covid regulations that the government later balked on and never apologized for. They only support corporations and lean on everyone else
That was really nice of them at the end, for advertising this hard working man business. Another example of backwards City going after honest working citizens, and but not going after people committing crimes.
Easy fix. Just park in a different parking spot. Pembrook Pines said you are in the "same spot" everyday therefor you are "not mobile". Just part in a different spot and now they can't say you are in the "same spot".
Once you've been giving permission on a private property, you can stay there, you don't have to move around like that, Plus they're really hard working people. This is a clear bias and sabotage.

Somebody is making room for a relative to do the same business. Come back a month later and someone will be doing a mobile car wash in the same location. 🤷♀️
Same happened to me and my wife years ago with our ice cream truck. One particular cop used to chase us out of a causeway every time he saw us there (it was 100% legal for us to be there as no mobile vendor was allowed exclusive rights). We drove over several times and saw another ice cream truck there and the same cop “patrolling” the area but leaving him alone to do business. We contacted the department and the cop was ordered to leave us be. Clearly, the cop and the other vendor were related parties in one way or another (friend, family, etc.). 😏

They are regulated. Clearly they function within the rules. The issue here is someone complained and the property owner has the final say. They can't zone for car wash. Been a great six years. One door closes, another may open. Social media to the rescue!
News flash: Food trucks are HIGHLY REGULATED and if they want to park for extended periods of time in the same spot, they need a special permit. How old are you?
For years, a retired employee did the same thing where I worked. The company was cool with it. Since it was private property, they could approve it. The worker could get the car done inexpensively. We were a manufacturer and had three shifts all week long. It was a win win.
Damn that would be clutch. Park my car, pay for a wash, go shopping, come out and boom clean car. 2 birds 1 stone. Would be a customer if I lived nearby that’s for sure

It's the same people who are running the HOA and telling someone they can't park a work truck in their own driveway.

So sorry...we used to be a free country. The cities, counties, states, and the feds need to back off. The regulations, taxes, ordinances, zoning, licences, etc. are out of control, unrighteous, and unconstitutional.
There is always a story behind a story and someone is clearly trying to stop these people from eating bread they worked hard to make, they seem to have made every effort to get whatever permit was needed and were still disappointed, or giving the runaround. They were not stealing or selling drugs, they were making an honest living, the tone-deaf people are the ones who only hear what they want to hear because they are not in the situation but when it happens to you, then you will know.

@@stanleyhape8427You missed my point. Because the City determined he wasn't mobile (by being in the same spot each day), they pressured the owners to make him leave (2:07). Therefore, if he shows that he's in fact mobile, by using a different spot each day, then the City may not be able to make their claim.
Seems to me all he needs to do is provide a phone number to customers and drive to them. That should eliminate all issues. You will be mobile and not parked in that same parking lot. You can also gain a larger customer base.
The city isn’t forcing him to stop washing cars. It’s just forcing him to do what he’s claiming he’s doing, which is being a mobile car wash. Operating in the exact same location for six years by definition is not a mobile car wash.
that is the plan from square one. they want everyone dependent on the government so if you dont fall in line with all their rules they can "cut your water off" so to speak.
@@chris135xyou have no idea what you are talking about. All cities have zoning laws and laws that regulate mobile businesses. If you are running a mobile car wash, pet grooming, or any other mobile service you must actually be going to different locations. Mobile businesses are not subject to local zoning laws (most of the time) meaning they can groom your dog in a residential area that isn’t zoned for businesses. This is because the groomers van isn’t permanently there. When you decide to set up your mobile business at the same t place for 6 years, you are not a mobile service anymore. And it doesn’t matter if your business is on wheels (that had to be one of the dumbest arguments I have ever heard), it where you set up to work everyday.

Correct if people have to come to him to have their car washed he is not a mobile business. A mobile business requires the car wash business to travel to the location of the vehicles he is to clean.
Go by that location every day at the same times that you were there before and watch which mobile car wash shows up. Find the owner and check out his relationship with one or more City Council members. That's the way you do it: just follow the money.
I like the work ethic, but, you have to wonder where the chemical runoff is going. One of the reasons car washes are more regulated. Odd this wasn't brought up. Believe me, we get a mobile interior cleaner every spring - and anyone doing mobile washes have to lay out rubber barriers to catch runoff - which is why a lot dont do it.
It's not a "mobile car wash" because he's washing cars in the exact same spot everyday. That's a "stationary car wash". Mobile car washes wash cars in different places each wash. Like the customers driveways.
The definition of mobile is able to move or be moved freely or easily, it doesn't say you must be moving. Since they are able to move when they want the name mobile is linguistically correct.
@@kenlompart9905linguistically…do you really not see the issue there? What does the law say…I was hoping someone here would clarify. A man is a man linguistically, but legally…a man is however you feel…if you feel like a man, you’re a man…
I don’t think the owner understands what mobile car wash means. I use a mobile car wash for me and my wife. They drive to my place of employment and detail my car while I work. They drive to my wife’s place of employment and detail her car while she works. The mobile car wash comes to us, we don’t go to them.
They let you ride for 5 years. Most places would not allow this for a day. Just find another plaza and give the owner 50 bucks a week. They will give you your own parking spot. I bet they never charged this man a single coin. Your business is not mobile if it operates at the same location during business hours. This is almost common sense. He should just thank them for 6 years of business. He should be lucky if the IRS does not see this story and want back taxes.
You come off angry. The man is just making an honest living. Someone reported him to the city. That persons face and name needs to be known. He wouldnt be on the news if he didnt pay taxes. Why would you make that statement? Do you have any facts to back that up?
why am I mad? I am glad he is making a good and honest living. God bless him. now he has to take that good and honest business and operate it within the parameters of the law. like most businesses have to. all he has to do is to ask a small store can he rent two parking spots for 25 bucks a day. almost anybody would do it. that is over 700 bucks a month for spots that are mostly empty anyway. i used to sell peanuts beside the road. we would only give the manager a 10 dollar bill for the day and they could care less. that was years ago though. 10 is not much today. also, please dont tell me that you actually think they audited his taxes, LOL. most of these businesses are not registered. they are hustles to pay the rent. just like selling peanuts by the road. if you think I paid taxes on money from selling a few peanuts a day, you are wrong.@@RoxburysFinest617

Some busy body probably snitched on him because they have an idle mind. My brother had a mobile car wash, but that was before the gas got so high. Now he does carpets and flood jobs.
if he was always at the same spot all the time then he's not mobile he had set up a storefront for his business plain and simple, mobile means you go to your customers not them coming to you.
They mean he is at the same parking lot everyday. If he drove around like an ice cream truck does, then he's mobile. He needs to have a rotation of places in which he washes cars.
Leave the hard working man alone and go after the people who take advantage of sitting on their asses and collect.They sell drugs and are not law abiding citizens.Leave this man alone

Laws need 2 help the good ppl not the bad
I hope this couple finds a place for their business. I think it’s a definite asset to have a more personal car wash such as this in a place where you can have your car cleaned and also run a few errands at the same time. They do offer a more personal touch and obviously take great pride in their work❤🎉👍
Just travel to whatever location the customers are. He is operating the business without a building. I like the idea of mobile but you have to be mobile.
They're supposed to be inspected by the health department, have a business licence and be in allowed areas. But not unlike this guy, they're trying to skirt the rules so they can cry about it when they get called out, and have the morons that just don't get how things work all wound up. He's cheating. It's just that simple.
They are breaking the law. They aren't a mobile detail service. he could've revise his business model. he could set up a dedicated route. m-w-f at abc finance t-t-s worldwide financing. his customer will know if he invest in letting them know. nah i don't feel bad for them. they had a 6 year run now its time to adjust and make it work.
💯 - - this is a wonderful idea. If there are designated stops that he does throughout the city on certain days, they know where to go if he doesn't want to travel to someone's residence
No, mobile doesn't mean go to a new location everyday, food trucks are "mobile" and some stay in a lot for years. That spot worked well for him and the community, the greedy city officials couldn't extort any tax and fee money so they used their tyrant positions to play on words for their profit.
@@jillballantyne1870 I was referring to ‘mobile’ and it’s use in description and definition. You’re right a mobile home PAYS for the lot, these guys were offered a PAID lot for FREE by the owner/ landlord. PS. Common sense perhaps isn’t that common after all.
It sounds like theres a simple fix to this issue, have them drive to different locations throughout the week and wash cars, or better yet, actually have people call them who want their vehicle clean and go to that person's location and wash their vehicle. I can see why they're calling it a manual car wash if it's in the same spot day in and day out. Every single mobile car wash i know, go to the customer's house, and details their vehicle there. This is the first time i heard of this kind of setup.
Same, this is the first time I've heard of it, too. Plus the mobile car washes charge more because they're coming to you, whereas the stationed car washes charge less because you go to them. 💯

This was an agreement with the mall owners. Clearly this was a case of a competing business or an overzealous city official who was jealous of the dual. 6 years is a long time. Also, if your city acts that way, it does not mean it is right.
I don’t begrudge him his business, but to me a mobile car wash is someone that comes to your home or office. If he’s in the same location everyday, then it’s not really mobile.
Could you maybe move around the parking lot, choosing a new spot everyday? That would be mobile, right? Or find a beautiful house with a big driveway, wait for the owners to go on vacation, move right in and claim squatting rights? Unless you live in Florida, squatting rights will protect you for months! You can live in a beautiful house and move your business around the property, making a living until the owners spend thousands of dollars to evict you. I am being sarcastic of course, but does anyone in the government see how ridiculous some of our laws are?
For some of you can't understand & quick to call something else. THE CORRECT MEANING.: Mobile car washing service is a type of car cleaning service where a team of professionals will come to a customer's location to wash and clean their vehicle, rather than the customer having to drive to a car wash facility. This can include services such as exterior washing, interior cleaning, and detailing. 6 years in 1 location, that's a stationed business/wash
You are the only one here that actually has a working brain, I commented the same thing in a shorter version, if he's not going to customers he is not mobile. He got away with it for 6yrs now it's time to move on and be mobile or find another spot where he can try and get away with it for another six years.
💯 - - This is true. I feel for the guy but mobile means traveling from location to location. I'm unsure why he doesn't want to do that, especially if its in his area of business. Everyone keeps harping on 'government coming down on the little guy.' He should be greatful that he was allowed to use a business' parking lot for 6yrs and not pay zoning fees or the use of that space.
Mobile car wash goes to customers' location. If have them come to you this is called a standing business different permits. You can say what you want, but laws are laws. I don't see why he doesn't just go to customers. Instead, they crying, wanting a handout. Why not run a legitimate business, get the correct permits and do it the right way like everyone else.
Once you've been given permission on private property, you can stay there, you don't have to move around like that, Plus they're really hard-working people. This is a clear bias and sabotage. In addition, they seem to have made every effort to get the right permits they needed but kept getting the runaround. Totally unfair practices.
@@Maki-00being in private property doesn’t mean you don’t have to follow local city ordinances and zoning laws. If an area isn’t zoned for a certain kind of business, then you can’t just say it is private property and open that business anyway. Some areas may be residential only, or allow business like shops and restaurants only. Businesses like car washes and gas stations are usually not allowed in certain areas. But mobile services can get around certain zoning laws because they are not a permanent structure. Once you decide to use the same location to do your business, you are no longer mobile and have to follow the same rules and regulations that permanent “brick and mortar” locations do.
You know nothing about zoning laws and city ordinances. And I would also say you know nothing about running a business. It doesn’t matter if you have been given permission to operate on private property, you must follow the same zoning laws and city ordinances that permanent locations do. If an area isn’t zoned for a car wash, you just can’t say it is my property and I will do what I want. A mobile service can get around these zoning laws because they aren’t a permanent business. And in most all cities, a license for a mobile service costs less and requires less oversight. This guy figured out that he could get away with paying more and not spend the money and time having to go from location to location. And there is no permits that would allow them to operate in the same area, because it isn’t zoned for a car wash.
its a fucked situation for sure, but I get it. They are saying he is improperly licensed as a mobile car wash when he is not mobile, he just works out of his van. car washes put a lot of harmful chems into the water and ground and need to be developed specifically for that use for that reason. if he is going to be in one spot forever, he needs the proper drainage and waste water lines. if he was actually mobile this would not even be an issue.
Um i did mobile car wash and just went to where ever the client was homes and different businesses never stayed in one spot if they are clients you cant lose them go to where they are its a mobile car wash youdont have to depend on one spot
While I understand the business owner's frustration, I also understand the municipalities situation. As stated, he is in the same location, same parking spots every day. So, he needs to move to a different location every day. One of my first businesses I started as a young teenager was washing cars. I went to the office where my Aunt worked and washed her car for her. One of the executives was walking into the building and asked me how much I'd charge to wash his car. Jokingly, I spouted $100. He handed me the keys. Then more people that worked there saw me and also had me wash their cars. I was averaging 2 cars a day for several months. In the 80's, that was good money for a 13 yo. So I know what he does. Regardless, he should simply move his operation to a dealership or one of the other allowable locations as stated in the law or move the van to another location when he is washing them.
Car jackers, armed robbery suspects and squatters has more rights than a hard working man trying to make a living, SMH
100% true! sad

In America, there are rules to follow. We're slowly turning into a 3rd world country with vendors pushing carts around, selling products on the street, etc. If he's mobile, he need to be mobile.

The part of Florida I'm from has 4 different automated car washing services within less than a mile of one another. I bet my bottom dollar, none of them do half as good of a job as this guy. Shame on that city for trying to keep a hard working man down.
Homeless people can setup tents anywhere and squatters can intrude into vacant homes with impunity, but hardworking people aren't allowed to work.
On point! This world is backwards
It doesn't make it right. You are taking extreme examples and saying that because this or that group are violating the laws, everyone should be able to violate the laws. What if I wanted to park on the sidewalk in my city, and told the police when they gave me a ticket, "Wait, you allow these homeless people here to live in tents and make the sidewalk filthy, but you don't allow me to park on the sidewalk a block away? If sidewalks are allowed to be residences, then I should be allowed to park on them, too, especially since I live in my car, so it's a residence as far as I am concerned." Tax payers pay in part to have rules, and if we are saying that city ordinances don't matter, then everything goes to hell very quickly.
@@yellowbird5411 No, I'm saying that there's a problem when the law is only selectively applied.

Easy fix. Just park in a different parking spot. Pembrook Pines said you are in the "same spot" everyday therefor you are "not mobile". Just part in a different spot and now they can't say you are in the "same spot".
Spot/ location.
Define location. @@adamsilberman9377
They didn't mean the same parking spot. They meant location, i.e. the plaza.
Once you've been giving permission on a private property, you can stay there, you don't have to move around like that, Plus they're really hard working people.
This is a clear bias and sabotage. In addition they seem to have made every effort to get the right permits they needed but kept getting the run around.
Totally unfair practices.
Actually the news didn't add more to the story. They get permission from the owner of the parking lot so they can be there.
I them personally they clean my truck every week. The police dept and the code enforcement is trying to extort them for money.

Bingo
Same happened to me and my wife years ago with our ice cream truck. One particular cop used to chase us out of a causeway every time he saw us there (it was 100% legal for us to be there as no mobile vendor was allowed exclusive rights). We drove over several times and saw another ice cream truck there and the same cop “patrolling” the area but leaving him alone to do business. We contacted the department and the cop was ordered to leave us be. Clearly, the cop and the other vendor were related parties in one way or another (friend, family, etc.). 😏
Oh yeah, the super lucrative mobile car wash game if heating up 🙄

They are regulated. Clearly they function within the rules. The issue here is someone complained and the property owner has the final say. They can't zone for car wash. Been a great six years. One door closes, another may open. Social media to the rescue!
It's called food truck not mobile food truck.

For years, a retired employee did the same thing where I worked. The company was cool with it. Since it was private property, they could approve it. The worker could get the car done inexpensively. We were a manufacturer and had three shifts all week long. It was a win win.

This is a good man doing a good business we need to all support Paul
Seems to me all he needs to do is provide a phone number to customers and drive to them. That should eliminate all issues. You will be mobile and not parked in that same parking lot. You can also gain a larger customer base.
Right.. I mean, after 6 years they should have been getting numbers to text and email addresses.
Exactly! His phone number is on the van, though. 💯
What if they parked in a different spot each day? Technically that would fulfill the mobility requirement right?

@@chris135x He probably is a stupid politician.
@@chris135xyou have no idea what you are talking about. All cities have zoning laws and laws that regulate mobile businesses. If you are running a mobile car wash, pet grooming, or any other mobile service you must actually be going to different locations. Mobile businesses are not subject to local zoning laws (most of the time) meaning they can groom your dog in a residential area that isn’t zoned for businesses. This is because the groomers van isn’t permanently there. When you decide to set up your mobile business at the same t place for 6 years, you are not a mobile service anymore. And it doesn’t matter if your business is on wheels (that had to be one of the dumbest arguments I have ever heard), it where you set up to work everyday.
Imagine being the person at the city. You know they go home thinking they did something right every day.
So change location daily

Correct if people have to come to him to have their car washed he is not a mobile business. A mobile business requires the car wash business to travel to the location of the vehicles he is to clean.
Go by that location every day at the same times that you were there before and watch which mobile car wash shows up. Find the owner and check out his relationship with one or more City Council members. That's the way you do it: just follow the money.
This is why votes matter. Vote out the city council and legislators and replace the law/ordinance.
I like the work ethic, but, you have to wonder where the chemical runoff is going. One of the reasons car washes are more regulated. Odd this wasn't brought up. Believe me, we get a mobile interior cleaner every spring - and anyone doing mobile washes have to lay out rubber barriers to catch runoff - which is why a lot dont do it.
It's a shame when they mess with people that are trying to make an honest living, smh.
He should get a website and get contracts with car dealers and boat dealers.
I'd love an update on this. I expect 100s of business owners to step up
Just change locations every day. Will that make it mobile?
It's not a "mobile car wash" because he's washing cars in the exact same spot everyday. That's a "stationary car wash". Mobile car washes wash cars in different places each wash. Like the customers driveways.
Really? But he has a van? So that means he is mobile, right?
The definition of mobile is able to move or be moved freely or easily, it doesn't say you must be moving. Since they are able to move when they want the name mobile is linguistically correct.

They let you ride for 5 years. Most places would not allow this for a day. Just find another plaza and give the owner 50 bucks a week. They will give you your own parking spot. I bet they never charged this man a single coin. Your business is not mobile if it operates at the same location during business hours. This is almost common sense. He should just thank them for 6 years of business. He should be lucky if the IRS does not see this story and want back taxes.
You come off angry. The man is just making an honest living. Someone reported him to the city. That persons face and name needs to be known. He wouldnt be on the news if he didnt pay taxes. Why would you make that statement? Do you have any facts to back that up?
Why do you assume, he doesn’t pay taxes?
why am I mad? I am glad he is making a good and honest living. God bless him. now he has to take that good and honest business and operate it within the parameters of the law. like most businesses have to. all he has to do is to ask a small store can he rent two parking spots for 25 bucks a day. almost anybody would do it. that is over 700 bucks a month for spots that are mostly empty anyway. i used to sell peanuts beside the road. we would only give the manager a 10 dollar bill for the day and they could care less. that was years ago though. 10 is not much today. also, please dont tell me that you actually think they audited his taxes, LOL. most of these businesses are not registered. they are hustles to pay the rent. just like selling peanuts by the road. if you think I paid taxes on money from selling a few peanuts a day, you are wrong.@@RoxburysFinest617

It’s about Paul cheating overhead costs by parking on private land. Look at their house. That money should have been spent on a proper retail spot.
I see the point though--mobile car wash "means" you go all over to a new location everyday. they are not that.
No, mobile doesn't mean go to a new location everyday, food trucks are "mobile" and some stay in a lot for years. That spot worked well for him and the community, the greedy city officials couldn't extort any tax and fee money so they used their tyrant positions to play on words for their profit.

It sounds like theres a simple fix to this issue, have them drive to different locations throughout the week and wash cars, or better yet, actually have people call them who want their vehicle clean and go to that person's location and wash their vehicle. I can see why they're calling it a manual car wash if it's in the same spot day in and day out. Every single mobile car wash i know, go to the customer's house, and details their vehicle there.

This was an agreement with the mall owners. Clearly this was a case of a competing business or an overzealous city official who was jealous of the dual. 6 years is a long time. Also, if your city acts that way, it does not mean it is right.
I don’t begrudge him his business, but to me a mobile car wash is someone that comes to your home or office. If he’s in the same location everyday, then it’s not really mobile.
If he isn’t in a brick and mortar bldg….. he is mobile. Jeeeez
Legally for it to be a mobile car wash, both cars need to be moving at least 60mph.
Don't give em any ideas 😅😅😅😅😅
Could you maybe move around the parking lot, choosing a new spot everyday? That would be mobile, right? Or find a beautiful house with a big driveway, wait for the owners to go on vacation, move right in and claim squatting rights? Unless you live in Florida, squatting rights will protect you for months! You can live in a beautiful house and move your business around the property, making a living until the owners spend thousands of dollars to evict you. I am being sarcastic of course, but does anyone in the government see how ridiculous some of our laws are?
For some of you can't understand & quick to call something else. THE CORRECT MEANING.: Mobile car washing service is a type of car cleaning service where a team of professionals will come to a customer's location to wash and clean their vehicle, rather than the customer having to drive to a car wash facility. This can include services such as exterior washing, interior cleaning, and detailing. 6 years in 1 location, that's a stationed business/wash
You are the only one here that actually has a working brain, I commented the same thing in a shorter version, if he's not going to customers he is not mobile. He got away with it for 6yrs now it's time to move on and be mobile or find another spot where he can try and get away with it for another six years.
Agree.
💯 - - This is true. I feel for the guy but mobile means traveling from location to location. I'm unsure why he doesn't want to do that, especially if its in his area of business. Everyone keeps harping on 'government coming down on the little guy.' He should be greatful that he was allowed to use a business' parking lot for 6yrs and not pay zoning fees or the use of that space.
A permanent spot makes you a renter
Of what? A parking space???? GTFO if you wanna blindly side with the bureaucrats!
Exactly. Thats why going mobile is the best option
@@chris135x yes. He doesnt own the parking lot. The company that rents the businesses to be there does. He should pay rent too.
@@SeanJohn127if you watched the video the landlord let him be there
@@validnick9226 the store did, not the property manager
wait if he's a mobile car wash guy, why isnt he going to the client's houses and is in the same parking lot everyday??
This seems like something the plaza would want. It drives business to your plaza. I wish i was there, id let him set up.
Mobile car wash goes to customers' location. If have them come to you this is called a standing business different permits. You can say what you want, but laws are laws. I don't see why he doesn't just go to customers. Instead, they crying, wanting a handout. Why not run a legitimate business, get the correct permits and do it the right way like everyone else.
This is America. Anything is possible...if you know the right people.
All he has to do is turn into a criminal and the city would leave him be.
I think the property owner (or their insurer) wants them out due to liabiltity, but easier to let the city to do it than to face them.
Once you've been given permission on private property, you can stay there, you don't have to move around like that, Plus they're really hard-working people.
This is a clear bias and sabotage. In addition, they seem to have made every effort to get the right permits they needed but kept getting the runaround.
Totally unfair practices.
Yeah, I was confused because it’s private property and the owners gave them permission, so what say does the city even have in this?
@@Maki-00being in private property doesn’t mean you don’t have to follow local city ordinances and zoning laws. If an area isn’t zoned for a certain kind of business, then you can’t just say it is private property and open that business anyway. Some areas may be residential only, or allow business like shops and restaurants only. Businesses like car washes and gas stations are usually not allowed in certain areas. But mobile services can get around certain zoning laws because they are not a permanent structure. Once you decide to use the same location to do your business, you are no longer mobile and have to follow the same rules and regulations that permanent “brick and mortar” locations do.
You know nothing about zoning laws and city ordinances. And I would also say you know nothing about running a business. It doesn’t matter if you have been given permission to operate on private property, you must follow the same zoning laws and city ordinances that permanent locations do. If an area isn’t zoned for a car wash, you just can’t say it is my property and I will do what I want. A mobile service can get around these zoning laws because they aren’t a permanent business. And in most all cities, a license for a mobile service costs less and requires less oversight. This guy figured out that he could get away with paying more and not spend the money and time having to go from location to location. And there is no permits that would allow them to operate in the same area, because it isn’t zoned for a car wash.
These are hard working people 😢
The city are alway control and fine people for any reason
That reason is money. Car wash pop up in Greensboro all the time there is one in the shopping plaza, surprised have not bothered that man.
its a fucked situation for sure, but I get it. They are saying he is improperly licensed as a mobile car wash when he is not mobile, he just works out of his van. car washes put a lot of harmful chems into the water and ground and need to be developed specifically for that use for that reason. if he is going to be in one spot forever, he needs the proper drainage and waste water lines. if he was actually mobile this would not even be an issue.
Um i did mobile car wash and just went to where ever the client was homes and different businesses never stayed in one spot if they are clients you cant lose them go to where they are its a mobile car wash youdont have to depend on one spot
While I understand the business owner's frustration, I also understand the municipalities situation. As stated, he is in the same location, same parking spots every day. So, he needs to move to a different location every day.
One of my first businesses I started as a young teenager was washing cars. I went to the office where my Aunt worked and washed her car for her. One of the executives was walking into the building and asked me how much I'd charge to wash his car. Jokingly, I spouted $100. He handed me the keys. Then more people that worked there saw me and also had me wash their cars. I was averaging 2 cars a day for several months. In the 80's, that was good money for a 13 yo. So I know what he does.
Regardless, he should simply move his operation to a dealership or one of the other allowable locations as stated in the law or move the van to another location when he is washing them.
