    Crazy find

    We haven't found anything very interesting, but we have plenty of shovels, rakes, and brooms that people have left in the bays.

    Crazy customer - now what?

    Customers will do customer things. Move on and chalk it up to experience and lesson learned.

    Environmental Inspection Scam - GRS Group

    Maybe a silly question, but what does GRS stand for? Global Recycled Standard? If so, that shouldn't even factor into your type of business.

    Tankless water heater for a IBA Razor

    I have several Rheem in service since 2010. Takagi also, but 1 of those failed in 4 years. Leaking primary heat exchanger but covered under warranty. All for the most part dependable units.

    What the heck, was his rack on top also sticking out to the passenger side?

    New Build 1 bay touchless equipment cost

    You might be peeking a little. Use a blindfold and see how it turns out. Even AI makes mistakes. Many of us here build and install, we just live it, try not to brag, and help others.

    Water Softener Problem

    Super busy last 2 days and I had similar issues with 1 of my 2 tanks. My problem was 1 valve was leaking. I didn't hear the leak because of the constant noise in the equipment room. I keep a spare valve disc kit on hand for that reason. 34 year old Ecowater system that will likely get replaced...

    Nayak Vs Monex Vs CryptoPay

    FYI, if using Nayax, after having both count up and count down, I still prefer count down with price points on the Nayax unit for customers to choose the amount they wish to spend. I never have to worry about a call from a customer who didn't end the session correctly. I will not go back to...

    New touchless automatic Chinese wash

    Stainless is great. Extruded Aluminum, if good quality, will also last a long time. Have seen some in use 15 years and still in good shape.

    Im tired

    34 years for me in the business. If it wasn't for the area we live in I too would likely be tired. While it has changed some, our customer base consists mostly of good, honest and loyal folks. Midwest values. I feel for owners like Randy where the demographics have changed. I would probably put...

    6 Bay Car Was without Equipment info

    I still have Windtrax self service units in use, and they are different than those. Age of oldest is from 1990. I don't think they changed them that much, although you may be correct. Fondly remember Marvin, the owner, and Rick, the guy who designed their wash.

    Boiler losing anti freeze

    I would isolate, if possible, your floor heat runs 1 at a time to determine which run is leaking. You may luck out or buy time if it is possible to keep from freezing without that run. Infrared detector is another way to find the leak.

    Graphene

    Seems for you the proof was in the pudding. You and your customers noticed the product and it is working.

    Arches on pay vacs

    I use a wide claw and just haven't had many clogging issues. Will do the same vac build in the future.

    Graphene

    It's great when customers notice and comment! Do you apply both the same, as in nozzles and rate, and do you follow immediately with spot free?

    Arches on pay vacs

    So far no issues in 3 years. However, I did purchase bollards for that reason. Should get to that sometime.:)
