Earl,
I believe the rollers are from Sonny's because of the X458 chain.The chain and rollers only come in 3'6" spacing, and the rollers dont have bushings.The chain is pretty heavy duty. This is why it is only available in the shorter spacing, too heavy to support a 7'2" spacing.
I don't think...
" flip the chain" that's pretty funny....no dont flip the chain or try and replace bushings in the rollers.Your chain and rollers should last about 2-300,000 cars.The most important thing to do is to keep proper tension on the chain.Depending on volume you will probably have to pull at least 2...
I love when car wash guys that have no idea about the oil change business make crazy assumptions.My quick lube has grown consistently for the last 4 years, cant say the same for my car wash.
A quick lube is a perfect fit for any type of car wash.Like any other business it needs to be run...
So let me get this straight, you stand to lose about 250k....not a good investment so far.What about leasing it to someone to cover your debt service? perhaps someone in the town that has a ton of energy and enthusiasm but not quite enough money to buy it yet.
In response to push or pull, if you would prefer cars pushing each other thru your car wash go with pull.I have never seen a pull system work effectively especially on large cars and trucks.
How do people without gates implement this service?
We have been offering yearly wash plans for 15 years with great results, we currently have over 500 yearly wash customers.We use a barcoded sticker for each car which makes control easy.We have been dabling with the monthly plans, but not...
If we were to remove every magnet from every car I would probably have to hire a magnet person, its out of hand.I have removed magnets that actually took the paint off of the vehicle.I should probably make up a bulletin about how bad magnets are for paint finishes.
Who came up with these freakin magnets, what a pain in the a**.I cant tell you how many phone calls a day I get about a magnet that came off in the wash.If your magnet means soo much to you then take it off before you go thru thru the wash.Should I post a sign?
perfectly explained..... turn flow screw clockwise until you get suction.Over time I have experienced a build up of slime on the small spring and check ball that needs occasional cleaning.
Recently I have been involved with some installation work, just recently got back from Abu Dhabi where I helped install a tunnel for the largest Mercedes Benz dealership in the world....pretty awesome.My question is:do you mind paying a higher labor rate for work performed on the weekends.
As an...
We have mirrors at the exit end of our car wash.Customers seem to like them, sometimes too much they stare at their car when we are trying to get them off the conveyor.
They do require daily cleaning,you can see them on our website scottswashandlube.com
