Yes. We also took into account the overall greater surrounding area. Although there are only approx. 5,000 living within the city limits, the town is adjacent to a large recreational lake with approx. 12,000 living in subdivisions on the Lake; farms and ranches in the area, as well as nearby...
We started Cheetah Express in 2016 in a low income rural town in South Texas with a population of approximately 5,000, The only competition was a rundown self-serve with an old touchless that never worked. The place was a real eye-sore. The nearest working IBA was more than a 30-minute...
We have been very pleased with our WW Razor that was installed in mid-2022 (as an addition to our WW Profile), combined with the use of ChemQuest chems. Gross yearly income increased almost 75%.
He got off it and ran to the front of the bay while it washed. When he got back on it to drive it out of the bay, he was so high on it, his head was almost hitting the bridge. Ridiculous. The wash is unattended, but with WW's great app, I can re-home and reset the machine from my phone.
Can't believe the idiot who tried to take this through our Razor and when it stopped on him (getting caught on those big tires), he had the balls to ask for a refund!! I just told him to get that thing outtah there! I'm clueless as to what it is. I've never seen anything like it.
We use ChemQuest with our Razor and they do a terrific job here in South Texas where we have alot of dust and caliche roads. It's an outstanding product line. I plan to ask our distributor about the Plazma. We are currently using their Lemon PreSoak.
I use an AccuBanker Coin Sorter/Counter, which also rolls them. Our Bank, Wells Fargo, will only take them that way. We only take quarters at the vacs. The Pay Stations for the washes are only currency or credit card.
Due to our demographic in a rural, lakeside town in South Texas, our ICS machines are set up for cash, credit cards, Tap n'Pay, Google and Apple Pay. We've got every type of customer from those who use only cash to those using their phones for all the high-tech stuff. When first installed, the...
Honestly, it's been a nightmare. I absolutely hate ICS. The system is so complicated and is really not suited for an unattended IBA. Much more suitable for a tunnel where there are people on-site all day. The refit cost was $11,495 for the existing Access Machine, and then for the new bay we...
How old is your Access Machine? Sometimes those bill dispensers just wear out, the belts go bad, etc. We've had ours replaced once, and PDQ will rebuild the old one, so we now always have a spare.
Both of our bays are open 24/7 and the site is unattended. Of course we have security cameras all over the property; and both the equipment and pay stations send us emails if an error or problem occurs. Serious issues have been rare.
We run a touchless and friction side by side in a small lakeside town in rural South Texas (WashWorld Profile and Razor). We started with a single bay friction in 2016 and added the touchless in 2022. Our demographic is quite varied -- farmers, ranchers, oilfield, construction, tourists...
We traced the license plate and the folks were from out of this juisdiction, so the cops here won't do anything even if they could. Might just call up the guy and read the riot act to him.
Just before midnight today, some idiots took a boat attached to a dually through our Profile! So lucky it did not do any damage. The Profile must have stopped when it hit the hitch and bar attachment to the boat and did not try to continue around the back of the truck, and just washed the...
Wes sold the distributorship quite some time ago. But the Service Mgr. is back and forth with WW on it.
That's exactly how I feel. I'm happy to be past this and moving on.
I was told that if you use a high pH detergent and it sits on the frame during non-use hours or overnight, it can eat up the aluminum. However, we use ChemQuest Plummett for our Profile, and it is low pH, however, it does have acid in it.
I've now learned something that adds more to the equation. When WW first came out with the Profile, the Power Wheel Detailers were added as sort of an afterthought, as an option. They are extremely heavy. My guess is WW never took into account the extra weight being dragged back and forth...
After some service was recently done on our Profile and it was tested, the tech heard alot of popping/cracking noises. After inspection, we were shocked to find 18-20 welds in the frame that had cracked or come apart. The Profile was deemed unsafe, and we were down a few more days waiting on a...
