Are you kidding me, he wanted you to drop everthing your doing, run down to the car wash and then bring him his cooler. I would have run down to the car wash, emptied his cooler, run over it and took to him less any beer that was inside of it.

It looks like it'd be easy to cut with a knife or wire cutters. We have customers who think they can take the gun with them and try to cut it off the hose with a knife. I wonder how you'd fix it if someone did cut it? anyone know?

UPDATE: I sent both the Mars validator and the adapter box that plugs into the validator in to be checked out. It turns out that there were 2 problems. I thought the validator was about 4 years old, turns out its closer to 6 years old and it was in dire need of an overhaul. The biggest problem...

We have a Hamilton RNS bill changer that has started stealing money every now and then. It has a Mars validator installed and has worked flawlessly for about 3 or 4 years. We cleaned the transport in the bottom with Windex, the white wheels are white again, and the cleaning didn’t help. Does...

And where might this mystery car wash be located that needs a lot of TLC?

I don't understand. You have a gravity system but you have a pump that circulates the glycol into the floor heat tubes.

What’s wrong with the Rowe kit that Capital Vending sells? We’ve installed a couple of them and they work great. We get them with a reconditioned validator and haven’t had any problems with them. We are in the process of looking to replace our Rowe changers with Hamilton’s because of the issues...

Are you kidding me, they want .78 per car washed. We wouldn't give them anything. There not doing anything you can't do yourself. Car wash chemistry is about simplest chemistry there is, you could get a fifth grader to do what the soap whores do, I guess they call them sales reps. We've run off...

What kind of quarter volumme are we talking about? We only have about $150 in quarters to go to the bank so warping them like Randy does isn't a problem, takes just a few minutes. We accept $20 and we get a lot of them from people who just want change, so we are happy to not have to deal with...

We mount our foam brush handles horizontal and use a KL 3/8"M x F Brass High Pressure ball bearing Swivel #SWV500 on the foam brush handle and a 90 L off the swivel. This takes the stress off the hose when it’s hanging.

You’ve got to be kidding me!! Who does your taxes? I suggest you go an accountant and have your taxes prepared by a professional. You pay on the gross and the fees are deducted as an expense. You’ve probably been paying too much in taxes for years.

Who's did you buy the buttons from? Are they original Hamilton buttons? We've never had any problems with any of our ACW buttons falling apart. We use the retro fit buttons from Hamilton.

We got rid of all of the crap Rowe changers we had and went Hamilton with a Mars validators, no more bill changer problems.

I see it all the time. You get these investors who think that they can buy into a S/S car wash business and they’ll only have to go there a few times a week. They think that they’ll make a boat load of money because some $hit bird distributor told them they would or there good friend told them...

Talk about clueless! It’s very simple if you don’t like to pay the fees that go along with the credit cards don’t accept credit cards. If you want to accept credit cards then raise your prices like every other business does to pay for the fees. There’s also a reason that these companies in the...

Are you $hitting me! You’re going to take out the one you have just installed and send it back if they don’t refund you the difference between the 2 heaters. Those 2 heaters have different part numbers and are different heaters, one is made for use inside a home and the other is made to be used...

It’s a money grab, we got popped a few years ago by a state boiler inspector who was washing his car and heard the air compressor kick on, a few days later we got a nasty letter in the mail for not being in compliance with the pressure tank inspection requirements. They wanted us to get the tank...

That does sound rather high. Hamilton parts are expensive. We buy all of our Hamilton parts from Randy here on the Forum, have you contacted him.

We have our employees rotate the cleanup jobs around so they don’t get burned out. We repair guys do other jobs everyday so we’ll never get burned out. We DO NOT!! Allow our employees to wear or listen to earbuds, earphones while they are working. It’s a matter of safety. We had an employee...

Please explain. How do you use a micrometer to set the wheel hub? What is the Spec of the Wheel? I don’t understand
