The vent clip air fresheners have been selling well for us lately.

Check the fittings on the tubing from the soap bucket to the Blue White pump. Also, you may need to replace the foot valve (check valve) on that line (in the soap bucket). This would not explain the water not coming on though. There could be a leak in the lines running from the Tri foam board...

I have 7 American Changer AC8001 Paystations. I'd recommend them, especially because of the price. I've had no major issues since we bought the first one 9 years ago. We have Mars validators in all of them. JPRB

I had a similar problem, and changed the valve and coil. I had cut the wire near the old coil, and wire nutted the new one on. Still no water. On my machine, that cable goes into a 2x4 junction box. I had 24v there, but only 12v to the coil. The problem turned out to be the wire from the...

I've been following and searching the "signs" threads and added ALL of the things I've found people have listed on signs. I like the "Customer Code of Conduct" idea! Here is my list: Notice *No Dumping Trash, Garbage, Mud, Grease, Straw, Hay, Grass Clippings, Manure, Concrete, Gravel, or...

We did a grand opening at two of our "new construction" washes. We gave away hot dog and drinks, lots of advertising; t-shirts, pens, calendars, etc. We did some advertising on radio and newspaper to for the event. We gave away FREE car washes - automatic and self-service all day. They were...

I've been selling the Refresh vent sticks in my Shurvend glass front vendors. I've tried most of the "flavors" and they have all sold well. I have two rows of little trees in the vendors also and can't tell that the vent sticks have hurt sales at all. I sell the vent sticks for $2 and the...

Call the closest TV station and have them do an "Investigative" report as to why the police aren't doing their job. Interview you, the police, the criminal. Might make a good story!

Check the sping! I had a sping, under the magnet, rust and break. I caused the valve to not shut of and overflow the tank. FYI JPRB

Has anyone replace their metal halide pole lights with fluorescent or LED fixtures? I have some that need repaired and was considering options on replacing the fixtures with something requiring less maintenance. Currently have 400W metal halide, mostly, and would like something as bright or...

Does anyone have one these cards yet? I've heard about them, also, but haven't seen one yet, and none of my cards have it. JPRB

IVS has a kit to replace the tubing. I believe I ordered mine from Kleen-Rite. You can call IVS for the part #. JPRB

If you don't have mixed coins, I would recommend a scale. We have one with a 60lb max, so we can bag $1000 in quarters. I have checked the calibration a few times, counting out 50 coins at a time with the Klopp, and adding them on the scale. It's always been within 1 quarter +/- of the correct...

You can't have too much Black Ice! Also, AA Prot, AA Cleaner, Wet Towels, Blue (paper) Towels. Those are my top sellers. I have also been selling quite a few of the vent clip air fresheners. JPRB

I use an Oil Dri product (New Pig also has them). It's a 2x2 sheet of absorbent. It absorbs oil, not water. Just cover the top of the pit until they saturate with oil, then through them away. JPRB

Darin, Thanks for the response. The problem seems to be that once the stop plate is overshot, they stop ON the backup switch, then back back onto the stop plate. This only activates the backup switch once, and will not allow the wash to start even though they are in the correct position. My...

I have been getting lots of complaints when people overshoot the stop plate. The Ryko requires the back-up switch to be activated twice to prevent the wash from starting with the back tire in the stop plate. We have had this problem since we installed the wash, but it seems to be getting...

O'Reilly Auto Parts had a similar television commercial a few years ago. I contacted them, and the ICA. They removed the ad. I have been a customer of theirs ever since. I guess everyone who hears it should call/ Email NAPA and ICA. It can't hurt. JPRB

I've got four Shurvend vendors. Two new, and two refurbished. All have worked great. Oldest is 9 years old, no major problems. I changed out the plexiglass and lexan last year because is they were beginning to get cloudy. Shurvend offers great support if you have questions about them. JPRB

Also, if the well has been stagnant for a long time, the water quality may improve after you've started using the well continuously. You might try running it constantly for a few days before having it tested. JPRB
