Here we go ...

Well, here it is: our first blog. Maybe we’re a little late to the game. But then again, for a car wash, maybe we’re early.

We’ve given this quite a bit of thought, btw—the reason we’re blogging. Obviously, we hope it somehow gets us noticed (more). But we also just started feeling like we had something to say. Being a successful car wash company, we see hundreds of people every day, from every walk of life, in every different mood you can imagine. It gives us a unique perspective. It leads us to believe we have a little bit of a finger on a little bit of the pulse of our community. And with that being said, there is also the possibility that this Metro Car Wash blog just might be able to bring a little value to Tucson. It’s what we’re hoping for.

This is not a political site. And it is not a site dedicated to car care (although we might mention a few things about cars along the way … it is what we do, after all). Ultimately, we're a small organization in a struggling economy and we're fighting to stay alive. We're doing everything we can to improve our business, our customer service, and the lives of our employees. From that, stories are born (funny stories, sad stories, hopeful stories, and honest stories).

This blog is an effort to capture the spirit of our community, therefore, as well as the spirit of Metro Car Wash. In some ways, maybe it’s just a car wash diary. In other ways, it might become our new best tool to communicate with our customers. Regardless, we hope someone likes what they read. We'll be discussing everything from why Car Washes make America great, to why they help hurt America's image. We'll let you know why we believe car washes are a bell-weather for the local economy and why they’re a great tool for measuring a community’s attitude. We'll discuss our success stories, our failures, our business model (like Metro 2.0), our employees and you, the customers. Everything’s fair game. And we’re really looking forward to this.

Stay clean, my friends!
