Claim will not include lost revenue. We got it back up and running. We have 2 side by side automatics and last time when we were down for a few months we found that the working one picked up the slack and maybe we did more overall. Seems like people see a small line and they wanted to stop also...

Police report was already filed and a citation issued. That is how I got his insurance company. This happened at the same location 7 years ago and the automatic was destroyed. The guy ended up paying for a $175,000 IBA claim. This guy will get off lucky with about 5K in damages.

We had a guy with a jacked up pickup with camper shell try to go through one of our automatics last night. Driving in he tore the clearance bar down but proceeded forward any way. Then he pulls into the automatic wash and knocks the top arm off of the L shaped wash arm. Stays in during the wash...

I once had a coupon mailer company put a coupon for a free car wash if the people would come in and ask for it. We did not authorize the coupon and so we denied giving out free car washes. WE explained that it was not authorized to people and they were fine with it except one guy who turned us...

You might be able to find a local distributor that will deliver free. I order pallet load quantity from Kleenrite to get free shipping. That is 36 5 gallon pails or 36 50lb boxes or combo of each. You can throw all your other stuff on top of that and gett free shipping to. For a small 5 gallon...

I went to lunch yesterday and came back to my office that is over the equipment room. I heard a strange beeping and found my CO monitor going off. Water heater had a exhaust leak. It was already up to 40 ppm. I mention this because 14 years ago I got bad CO poisoning here and did not have a...

30 years with the hamiltons and they have been one of the best pieces of equipment I have. I am willing to bet your problem is in how it is programmed, State what problem you are having.

None of the car wash equipment would work if the power was off.

I have no Loitering signs. Amazing how many people pull in to a bay and then talk on the phone for several minutes before getting out to wash.

I think we are getting into a second generation of people whose parents just went to the tunnel washes because they were lazy and always only did it that way. New generation is just following their parents lead and never knew what a coin op car wash was. Now when they come to a SS wash they are...

2 calls on Sunday within 5 minutes of each other. Lady calls and says she has tried 2 bays and does not get high pressure out of either bay. I ask her if she has turned the dial and explain that spot free rinse comes out at low pressure, presoak is medium and the high pressure rinse and high...

Waxman should have asked them for money for the pain and anxiety you had to suffer from false accusations.

Free vacuum with a dispensed token on automatic washes is what I do. Offering free vacs will attract lower tier clients and folks you don't want hanging around the wash. It gives the perception that services are worth less or nothing at all.

The programming is held on a chip so you could replace the computer if it went bad and install the chip and keep going. If the PLCs are hard to find RDM can repair them.

I have had my signature series since 2003 and never had any PLC problems. The system has been very solid and I think all I have replaced is a couple of motor starters and an occasional solenoids. I have replaced the cat 530 pumps with arimitsu pumps as they wore out.

Great news for Earl. It is a well deserved time to relax a little.

For side dryers I really like my Mammoth dryers from Sonnys. I added these to a location that had 3 10hp Ryko dyers with moving nozzles. The mammoth side dryers really provided a much better dry and with in a year I noticed that several of the local tunnels had copied me and put them in also...

I have added in line PVC check valves to all my trifoam setups. You can put them close to the injectors and are easy to replace. Hose barb fittings on each end.

I have had good luck with Lorex camera ssytems.

I posted some pictures of my Pit Boss back in April of 2019on a thread. I have posted several pictures since on the forum. I am out of town right now and don't have any pictures with me to post. Do a forum search under Soapy pit boss and you can see the tractor setup I use.
