I think it's perhaps some new / newer vehicles that "Shift by Wire" rather than a mechanical linkage from the shifter to the transmission. I can see it being some engineers reason of safety but I can also see a downside beside the car wash environment.
Perhaps Solenoid sticking slightly open and cycling power causes a hard open/ close. If you have a solenoid for each product to each bay in the ER pull the hoses from the exit side of the solenoid to see if any are leaking when they should be closed.
Yes, Dan - the wording I used was imperfect when I said "Keyboard" which is really not necessary to accomplish the goal which would be easily make multiple choices and accounting for usage. A common example of the "Keypad" commonly in use is the type we see for Spiral Vending machines. Of...
I recall Coleman at one time had a metal telephone type Keypad in the Bay. It would seem this type of thing connected Via a CAT cable to an environmentally controlled cabinet in the ER room could b made fairly durable. At the end of the day it's always not if you van do it, but what will...
You are focusing on the lead car being stationary. I have seen at a fast line speed when the vehicle is stopped and then the roller travels a couple feet and impacts the stopped car it will roll ahead at a speed faster than that at which the conveyor is moving. Agreed that the overall speed is...
One innovation that I have been surprised did not make it's way into the SS industry is to use some sort of computer / keyboard control instead of rotary or push button selectors. Running Cat 6 cable from the Bay to the ER would seem to allow for both numerous in bay options as well as...
Mostly true. Sounds like place is front wheel pull with safety roller spaced behind rear tire. At end roller touching front tire falls below and vehicle is motionless until roller catches up to rear wheel and starts pushing it. Conveyor speeds vary but you can figure 1 foot / sec for...
You have a certain Base cost for Utilities like Electric and Gas. If you have a bill from when you were closed for an extended period you can use that. Also- you may use little gas in summer months so that could be a base cost. You also need to factor Maintenance / repairs . You could...
Since each location should be a separate legal entity to avoid liability cross contamination and make any future separation easier, you should have a separate bank account for each. You can use a separate QB company for each but the issue them becomes that unless you have an old desktop...
1. Get a copy of the Phase one to see if there is any basis for needing a phase two; and 2. Get a new lender and if they want a phase 1, if the one you just got doesn't show any potential issues - tell them you just had one done and use it for the new lender.
At one location it seemed as if the light Blu color was coming out leaving behind some natural darker color of the foam. I always luv it when see photos of new locations with Yellow foam and wonder how long it will take for it to look bad. Local guy with MacNeil setup no has black and...
Makes about as much sense as trying to design and build an automobile. (Maybe not that complex) Tesla is a notable exception to the numerous attempts that have failed.
Patience and a sense of humor, for when you have things like a quarter slot jammed with a folded up $1 bill because the price says $1, or the customer says it's your fault because they drove into an easily seen stationary object.
