I have a bay that count up mode stops at my coin time, $4.50. In setup mode I am supposed to enter none on 2nd card time to activate count up, which I did. Max time is $20. After swiping card and count up mode starts, timer displays "stops at $4.50". Any suggestions? Thanks

My guess would put expenses in just above 20k. I can give you a positive take...my self service bays are doing better than ever, and have been on an upswing for several years now. Same with the inbay touchless. Both can thrive in the right areas. Enjoy the business!

In a tunnel instance I would guess it means you could use 4 IPB-34 (12 button) push button stations and 1 keypad to control different functions along the tunnel without going back to the main controller. Plugged in in any order.

1550 psi at the pump stand and 2506/2507, depending on eyesight and which bag I grabbed it from.

After trade school I was a painter in an automotive body shop, and after a couple years I started my own shop back home, while joining my father on the family farm, and did both for several years. The car wash bug hit me at the age of 28. If I could have committed to the time involved I would...

I haven't noticed any difference in vac use since removing the cans. It was a good decision at my wash.

I have washes in similar size towns. His wash should have better numbers than that, and it may be that it does. Credit card acceptance, dryers, and raising price would be on my list right after cleaning/lighting/cosmetics to showcase new ownership. Good luck if you purchase.

I have, for the most part, a very good customer base. I started having trash/dumping issues at my vacuum areas so I removed my trash cans. Occasionally I will have someone leave a mess by a vacuum or in the corner of a self service bay. Ten years ago I never had these issues. Times and people...

I'll join Sooner in an old thread. Lot's to consider when updating or replacing equipment. You location and market can steer you in the correct direction. For instance, I have washes in smaller rural locations, where I do/could charge $15/$20 for a wash that takes 6 minutes. Time and price are...

I put a cone in front of one of my self service bays so I could replace a couple fittings in the equipment room. Just as I was going to remove a connection the bay pump turned on. I walked out to see a young man washing his pickup. I said "hey you ran over my cone that I had blocking this bay...

A toilet, broken up counter-top, dresser, diapers, garden waste, fish, pretty much everything but the kitchen sink....so far.

They are holding up well.

Thanks! It's a slow work in progress. Hopefully someone on here has an answer for you. Is it only on the $5 wash? There has to be some combination that sets off the refund and allows a wash to trigger.

I had that same problem but it was a long time back. If I remember I had to go into the autocashier settings and change settings for the new reader. I gave free washes for a day without knowing until loyal customers let me know.

Looks like poor uniform chemical pattern from nozzles. Is this side of the car with the problem also the 1st pass of soap on this wash? Make sure all previous chemical is out before a new pass. It is easy to blame a poor wash on touchless, but it is not hard to get a near perfect wash with a...

I have Premier dryers and have installed them with both air knives and elephant ears. I like the knives, in a 4 producer system with 2 10 hp on top and 2 15 hp on the sides. I have been very happy with them.

I am usually thinking What did I forget to do or check?

We had a good year. Overall profit was up a small amount, which was very surprising as we are going through a complete remodel of the exterior, interior, and equipment, while also adding an addition to this wash.

30 years this month. Some days it seems like maybe five or ten, other days it seems like a lifetime.

Happy Thanksgiving!
