I had value cards start working about 4 today

In order to get the cutouts in the correct spots, I trace the bay meter door onto a piece of paper marking all the cutouts. Then I take that to kinkos and use their large format scanner and scan it so I have a full size image. I then bring that image into photoshop or illustrator and use that to...

We paid around $25 per decal but I did all the artwork. We used our local Signarama.

Most sign shops can laminate a clear over the decal that would extend the life of the decal. The decals I have had done I did not do the clear and some of them are 3 plus years old and still as good as new.

I’m not certain but I believe the modem from the wash select has to be sent into Unitec to be programmed which you have to do through a distributor.

Thanks for your feedback.

I know a lot of people on here have Airlift doors, does anyone have Baywatch doors? How do they compare? I’m more concerned with the vinyl roll up.

Plus when you use a sign company the spacing will be correct and level.

At a couple of our locations the changers are shut off at night, we just use a simple timer on the outlet. One location is only cash and not effected by not having a changer at night. Most washes don’t get much use between 12 am - 6 am. Sometimes when we are getting our changers drained we will...

Take a grinder and shave enough off the black hose so it will still be tight in the hole but will extend past the nut and then put a hose clamp on it.

From my conversations with Washify, the standard includes the owner app which to me would not be any different then paying for Hamilton’s Hosted Solutions. It is also my understanding that the fee for pay at the pump includes the hardware, so you are buying a POS 4000 or Hamilton’s $7000 code...

Will a Cube fit in your small bay? With a big tunnel around the corner I think I would think about going touchless. From what I know we have not had near the issues from our kondor as they have had with the cube. The cube is a first generation machine, I think they are still working out some of...

I’m no tech but I would think all you need to do is put in a relay that would activate the vacuum when that is selected on the bay meter.
