I need to update prices on my Shurvend Vender. Can't find manual. Anyone have a PDF of the manual or a link to what needs to be done.

We have three machines so we are in there monthly replacing a bearing somewhere. To be fair we usually just replace the bad ones and don't shot gun the whole side which might be better.

We have had the Petit units in our wash now for three years. I have never regretted putting them in. We don't get quite the output as advertised because I run more passes on our top two washes than some operators do. I can do 17-18 cars an hour when we are really busy. Tom Petit and his crew are...

Not counting undercarriage and dryer about 3:30.

Petit has their own nozzles They are like a 15 degree nozzle with a huge hole . But due to the flipping motion of the nozzles it still gets good coverage. I have owned Wash Worlds in the past and before that D&S 5000s. Wash Worlds are wonderful machines and the company itself is great. But I...

Washify's new auto cashiers do not have the option to dispense tokens. They are mainly focused on the tunnel market and all those folks think it is...

I believe you need about 1000 unlimited customers to make a plan viable. Everyone always concentrates on the customers that wash their car multiple times a month and how much money you lose on them . The trick is to sign up enough customers that not all of them will use it everyday some will...

We have a site with 3 in-bay automatics and run an unlimited program. The only time we have real trouble with long lines is after a weather event and we would be backed up anyway. We have the Accutrac 360's that are pretty fast. In order for an unlimited program to be successful you have to...

We have Washify at our wash with the unlimited program and we have in-bay automatics . Washify is generally very good to work with. I was involved in a tunnel with an ICS entry system and I would rank them way ahead of ICS. We have their older system that is their hard drives installed in a...

If you had 3-4000 members at $20- $30 per member wouldn't that be worth it in the long run?
