    Turbo nozzles

    Needing to replace six zero degree on wheel blaster, yet again. How long do they typically last? Any recommendations on what's good and what's not always appreciated. Thanks! MC

    Monthly membership pricing help

    Mine works out to 2.2X and all prices may get a boost before the heating season starts. I've never accepted the lowball gym membership analogy - the mindset is totally opposite.

    Control Board Repair?

    Thanks for the info, Chip. That picture is something that was pulled of the web for an image of the LED. It's impressive that you recognized it, but don't we all live and breathe this business? The attached photo is actually what the failing LED is on. Any insights on it? Thanks! MC

    Control Board Repair?

    The display on my LM30 thru-wall vendor is almost unreadable and new board is about $500. I believe all that needs replacement is the display module which looks like the red rectangle, lower right. Any recommendations on where this could be done greatly appreciated. Thanks! MC

    Monthly fee for unlimited washes - is it worth it?

    Car count and revenue have risen since offering U/L and it sure has been an interesting/entertaining to watch behaviors. No weather is too bad to wash in, regardless of how long it lasts. Water conservation? - not if it means not getting my money's worth out of the program! Had one guy...

    Monthly membership pricing help

    I'd be curious to know the breakdown for sites offering multiple levels. We currently have one, our top wash, which is priced at $18/$40. We are in an area where dirt roads, driveways and parking lots are prevalent. I have been discouraged by the number of trucks that come in almost daily (...

    Airlift door sensor failure.

    Old posts, but I had trouble with mine last Winter. It finally turned out to be corrosion between the common and door up terminals in the control box and only those two terminals. Replaced the terminal block after the second "growth" and no problems since.

    CHAR-LYNN LEAKS

    Has anybody had experience with Brevini hydraulic motors (supposedly Italian, but Chinese writing on the thin box) as substitutes? Bought one to swap out to allow for seal replacements - seems heavier than C-Ls, but how different can they be?

    Facelift

    New Mud Bay Idea

    Is all that extra work factored into the pricing or are they trashing the place at your expense?

    Bill changer conversion to $1 coins

    People will forever refer to $1 coins as tokens, but we give our customers cash for cash. Crime not a problem and I guess I'm old school.

    Just how stupid is Biden

    He's looking for any kind of life line at the moment, but this is an absurd idea. Advisors are not helping in the least - unless they're all corn producers.

    Silver how often?

    Not seeing any lately, but I always listen for them. As an aside, I was unwrapping/separating dollar coins as we only use the gold colored ones and discovered a 2 Euro coin in one and ended up with 2 Loonies before all 1000 were unwrapped.

    Bad reviews/entitled customers

    I'm waiting for my bad review. After spending more than seven minutes prepping I informed an unlimited express customer that it will be necessary to rinse of the heavy mud in one of our bays before coming into the automatic. His response: "Do I have to pay? How much is too much mud? That's why...

    ACW 4 Controller Issue

    I believe it's a Hamilton - red, scrolling display. The controller was upgraded from the original Hamilton that had two lines a couple of years ago when we converted to Mars acceptor through Etowah Valley.

    ACW 4 Controller Issue

    It has recently starting scrolling hieroglyphics. Power cycling would reset it for a while - now it just displays what I assume is the software version V1.02 and will not reset via power cycling or any of the four buttons on the unit. It still accepts bills but doesn't display the wash selection...

    Attempted theft

    I am dealing with the same situation with my ACW4, but the damage to both locks is too severe to ever get a key in again. Out of change and jammed coin acceptor is creating additional challenges. Ordering new locks and cylinder housings tomorrow and then going nuclear on it.
