    Jarvis 320W Scottsdale retrofit LED

    I bought them from wallpacksdirect also. I bought 100 fixtures so was able to get them for $190 each. How many do you need? I have extras that I plan to use on parking area lights.

    Jarvis 320W Scottsdale retrofit LED

    Just finished all 6 Washes. I converted all of my 6 locations with Jarvis LED retrofit. I was very pleased with the result and how easy installation was. It took about 6 hrs to do the first wash. At this location, I had Hubbell 320W and required grinding 4 pieces off per fixture. My other 5...

    2016 ICA Car Wash Show

    Nashville was my first carwash show ever in 8 yrs in the business. I learn more from the forum then the show. As a self-serve owner, I feel the industry is more catered to the tunnel owners. I might go back to Las Vegas in 8 yrs when my daughter is old enough to enjoy the city. I will try to...

    Microfiber towels

    There is some benefits in living in the south. No salt or deicer. When it snows here, the city and washes shuts down. I hear you guys make a lot of money after it snow.

    Microfiber towels

    Earl, we are in the business of collecting quarters. A penny save is a penny earn. I don't fold towels but do change vac brushes when they get worn. Got over 40 vacs to maintain so motor cost can add up. It is faster to change brushes then a motor for me. Just got confirmation that my pallet (60...

    Best Self Serve Equipment

    I remember I used to think like you. I would want to buy a new machine so I have less headache. These machine are made simple. The first thing you need to learn is understand how the supersaver works and then troubleshooting becomes so much easier. Also the distributor job is to make money off...

    GinSan "The Ultiamte" 3-bay problems

    Best Self Serve Equipment

    I agree, you are throwing money down the drain if you are upgrading you supersaver. I have 5 supersaver and 1 ginsan pump station. Both have been rock solid. I like procon type pumps versus flojet personally. If you are upgrading, upgrade the coin box but changing the pump station is not...

    GinSan "The Ultiamte" 3-bay problems

    The above from Stuart is right. Also Check the 24V coming to the Allen Bradley contactor. If it is putting out intermittent 24 V voltage then it can be the Ginsan 27 again. You can also replace the 24V transformer.

    Saving a few $$ with Zoro Tools

    I been using the backpack blower for 10 years. A wise carwash owner told be about the billy goat and now I am hooked. Bought another billygoat with 30% coupon code. I have a lot of trees at my locations and it takes time to blow them to a pile and bag them. The billygoat save time, bags and...

    Microfiber towels

    Sorry you feel that I offended you. You are overcharging (not rip off) your customer if you buy a towel for $0.50 and mark it up 400%. There are members on this forum that supply free drying towel bin to their customers so they get a good value car wash experience. The whole express wash idea...

    Microfiber towels

    I think selling mfb towels for more than $2 is too much. Vending is the last thing your customer will buy before they leave the wash. I mark up all vending only 100%. I hate for my customer to feel like they are getting rip off before leaving the wash.
