We went with monex. Not cheap, but they are a hit

Yes, I would have to say so. April and May were also great months. I went with Monex and paid outright for the equipment. It wasnt cheap. I figured since we are in a cash heavy neighborhood it may take 7-9 months to at least break even on the equipment and within 3 months it had really gained...

We added CC to a wash in a blue collar neighborhood late December 2022 that was entirely cash. Our sales mix is about 60/40 CC to cash, which surprised me how quickly it took off. Our average CC spend is 25% hire than our cash spend.

We were thinking of having the tee for air and liquid in the pump room, and running a single 3/8 out to each bay. Would the consensus be that it's better to tee close to the boom instead? I had a dream of doing maintenance year around from the warmth of the heater, but results may prove otherwise.

That's what I was half expecting to occur. I'll probably get away with it in the bays immediately next to the room, but the outside bays will likely need the generator above them

It would be a separate gun

Adding an additional LP system for bug remover next week on a 4 bay SS, pump room in middle of building. I want to use foam generators, and was planning to include them in the pump room before it runs out to each bay instead of in the trough. I guesstimate it might be a 30 foot run from foam...

Nice job, it looks great! Smart decision shutting down. We renovated our wash one-half at a time to avoid shutting down and it was a mistake.

Any chance you can DM or post some pictures of what it looks like? I've got some ideas in my head but would love to see a real life example

We removed an old IBA last month at one of our sites and the economics and demand are tough for us to justify replacing it or converting it back to a SS. We've done pet washes before and its a constant clean up, worse than mud. Learned our lesson renting out a bay to a detailer before. I...

We are $1 for 75/80 seconds, basically enough time for one tire. It cleans up Fall/Spring. Gas Station next door charges $2 and we have a big sign advertising our air.

Pretty sure it was the hammer. Tried to get it apart and it didnt come easy.

Appreciate the feedback. Im just running 3HP/3PH motors on this one and they dont need 18 amps. Ill size down.

I believe I do? Can't say for certain. I know just enough about electrical to be dangerous and keep the place running. I have two other stands that are thermals, so I believe this one is heater strips. Here is a pic of the cabinet - I took the bad one home to track it down, but otherwise...

I had the last Cutler Hammer starter go bad Friday - Model AE16CN0. Spare on the shelf was shot. I am looking online and these things seem to go for $500-$1000 used. Any suggestions for where to source a replacement, or how to crosswalk my original unit to todays model? I spent $250 for a new...
