    Honeybees in trash cans!

    Thank you, I appreciate your feedback!! I love the idea of adding a misting nozzle. Unfortunately, my 5 trash cans aren't located near a water source... And I don't want to create a tripping hazard by adding a water line on the ground.

    Car Wash Names

    Simple names would work in a small town. I'm located in Northern California. In Sacramento (population 525k) there's a new SS car wash named "The Wash". In the neighboring town of Roseville, CA (population 152k) there's an existing SS car washed called "A Car Wash". IMO if you're going to...

    Car Wash Names

    This was a big topic last summer. Lots of helpful ideas. Search for the thread by typing in "How did you pick the name for your wash?"

    Honeybees in trash cans!

    These are DEFINITELY honey bees - NOT yellowjackets, wasps or hornets! My sister got stung last week. The bee landed on her yellow work shirt and when she moved her arm downward, it stung her & died. Here's a couple photos I took tonight in one of my trash cans. They're all over the Mike's...

    Light it up!

    What brand outdoor speakers do you use? We've been thinking of adding music at our SS car wash.

    Honeybees in trash cans!

    During the hot and dry summer months, I have issues with honeybees in my trash cans (about 8-10 bees). They are attracted to water this time of year, but it's getting worse as my car wash is busier than ever and MORE customers are throwing away trash that contains sugary sodas, juice and ice...

    Looking for a Mobile App for Self Serve and IBA

    You're most welcome! I'm happy to share all my research & feedback with my fellow operators on CWF. My glowing feedback is well-deserved. It's been 11 months since I installed Coinless at my car wash and still VERY satisfied with my decision! The more I use it, the more I love it. Coinless...

    Light it up!

    Lol! Have you considered adding speakers, and playing music from the 70s and 80s? It would go with your disco ball and lights, and make it fun & memorable!!

    Light it up!

    Looks good! The night lights should help you get noticed. What's with the huge disco ball in the 1st photo??

    Looking for a Mobile App for Self Serve and IBA

    Everwash Platform 855-492-7477 www.everwash.com I looked at EverWash briefly. From their website and ad, it sounded like they ONLY offer a car wash database that offers memberships NOT app equipment. Here's a quick comparison table that I created last year, comparing the other mobile app...

    I researched several and chose Coinless. Installed last September. We have 5 wash bays & 5 vacuums that use Coinless. Very happy with my decision and so are my customers!!

    Other things I wanted to share. Coinless uses Cardpointe for their processing. They charge .20/per transaction for ALL credit card transactions, including the ones that are DECLINED. I talked to Coinless yesterday and they suggested reducing my $15 Pre-Authorization to a lesser amount, so...

    Looking for a Mobile App for Self Serve and IBA

    Hi Greg, I spend a minimal amount of time managing the app. It manages itself pretty well. I check the REVIEWS in the app 2x a day, for customer issues. Takes about 5-10 minutes a day. Most feedback is from happy customers giving 5 droplet reviews. Occasionally, I get a 2 or 3 droplet...

    How to conveniently program LED6 Timers with 24V Transformer

    I received new Dixmor LED6 timers and needed to program them, with custom text. It’s been so hot & busy at my car wash in California, that it’s NOT convenient or comfortable to stand in each bay (5 bays), changing one character at a time. I’m searching & selecting capital letters, lowercase...

    SLUGBUSTER 2

    I, too find a lot of paperclips, Bobby pins and floss sticks around our vacuums and have seen them used to pull hair & debris clogging the vacuum claws.

    What was your worst customer?

    Be careful with Rubbing Alcohol on decals. We use it a lot and love it to clean metal. But depending on the ink they use on decals, it can remove the finish. It ruined my Little Trees decal.

    What was your worst customer?

    You're right Randy, we're NOT a Lost & Found! Reminds me of the customer I met a few years ago while I was emptying my vacuums. He was SO grateful to finally meet the person who took care of the vacuums. He proceeded to tell me this L O N G story about his father being a long-time Mason...
