Hi All, we have a 3 bay IBA in New England. Our POS is PDQ and we use WALS for the membership program. I have been trying to figure out how to create gift cards and "buy 10 washes for price of 9" type of cards. So far I have not been able to figure this out. WALS does not seem to have this...

Owner of three car washes. 2 are IBA's and the other is a tunnel w/ IBA & SS. Massachusetts and New Hampshire. We received a letter from an insurance company that sells "environmental insurance" for car washes. We're trying to determine whether this is something that is really needed or just a...

Does everybody here complete a PCI Compliance questionnaire? Took over the wash from prior owner. I have a Unitec POS system, C-Start. They provide a dashboard from a company called MXMerchant. When I log on it tells me I'm not in PCI Compliance, need to fill out a questionnaire. The...

I found a great app for iPhone, nut sure if they make it for android. It's called Dark Sky. I find it to be really useful and easy to use. I like the alerts feature that you can customize. It sends me a weather forecast each morning and then if it's going to freeze I get alerts too. Attaching...

I have mine set to close at 40 degrees. We run floor heat only in the bays and that's on a different system.

Got mine in the mail yesterday!

Interesting, the Black Jack sponge sells the least out of all my items. I thought it was because the goop settled to the bottom of the packet and made a mess but maybe its just location.

Black Ice Trees. Armorall protectant sponge is close.

Soapy, you mentioned that you got the 1.5 inch but then suggest the 1 inch. Are you seeing any issues with the 1.5, for instance is it overkill? Also, do you have issues with blowers pushing water and if so does the bump still stop it? One concern with this shape is that water could go up the...

Soapy, big thanks for posting this. I've been trying to figure out a solution for this for a while now. My online research came up with speed bumps that ran 700-800 for each bay so this is really great. Just this morning I figured out why we were getting so much water coming out of one bay but...

Waxman, are you saying you pay below $70 per 55 gallon barrel of presoak or $70 for the foam additive that gets added to the barrel? tx

haha, hopefully the system will prevent any future twinkie smushes… What are the common reasons a low-pressure pump would not be working correctly? Also, would these be the pumps delivering chemicals to the wash bay/tunnel for application?

A few months back a customer smushed a Twinkie into the coin slot of one of our vacuums. Our wash is open 24/7 but there is not always an attendant on site so issues with the vacuums are a blind spot. I am a car wash owner and also the product guy for a company that makes wireless monitoring...

great idea, will give this a try, thank you

We do have floor heat throughout the concrete slab this would be. Thanks for the warning.
