If you are shifting to 3 motors , Easiest way is to use 240 volt That way your existing wiring can handle. I have done that at 2 locations , with new vacs .

The maddening part about this is the distance from you. There are so many great locations without existing carwashes nearby. The big factor which will affect you is the distance, from your site. Investment groups are blind to that issue assuming their operation can overwhelm any competition even...

The subscription model for carwashing was not really present in the last recession. My thoughts are yes, hopefully just slightly.

I chose not to share that. What can be said is the result is not good for the existing operator. Until your market expands in 10 or more years there is only so much market.

Being in a similar situation that happened over a year ago. Look over your whole operation & improve it. Start marketing now before the other opens. You will lose customers, but how many you lose depends on your efforts. As always, there are only so many cars that need washing in an area. Wash...

I'm in an east coast Shore market, my pricing has been for over 3 years, Bay start up is $2.00 for 2 minutes. Vacs at $1.00 for 3 min. I am going up shortly. Customers are more cognizant of the cost of living than we may think. Look at the price of Fast Food , all has risen in the past few...

Can this be retrofitted to recent Machines that just missed Washbuilder ?

I use ICS for two In Bays plus an Express Tunnel. The Autosentry's work great for In Bays and customers love the Touch Screen. Wash Connect is a delight to use on my I phone. My oldest Auto sentry at one In Bay is over 12 years old and still works great. At my Express Conveyor My Auto Sentry's...

Yes, over 2 weeks and counting. I suggest watching your bay video to see what is happening, whenever you get a strike or bent shaft. Your cause may be different. But having the brush stop turning at the front of the car seems better logically. Unless you have the newer Washbuilder HMI you will...

I feel positive. A good experienced Ryko tech is the essential part. There is propriety knowledge involved.

Hopefully solved Ryko tech changed wash settings on HMI, one change was to end all washes at front of car not the rear. He also changed air pressure and damper valve. Simple things, but required the right person with the knowledge

My first In Bay Automatic lasted 15 years, It was a S. P. TurboWash . When I replaced it my volume and price per car went way up. My next machine was a Vector, it lasted 10 years. My current machine is a Laser 360 and has been in 6 years . Customers love a new machine. If your location is...

This has been a long running problem for me. After the install in 2019, I got 6 great months out of the machine. After that within 2 months I had 3 bent shafts. One of the shaft bends was a tragedy, because a customer came in washed his minivan, before we knew of the bent shaft. It was over...

On Friday I have my 4rth bent shaft; since posting in November. I should have it running again on Monday. I went to bold signage prohibiting long bed trucks. AS we know customers do not read. This past time it went 10 days before the shaft got bent. I am still working on a solution. Each time...

I am looking for suggestions to reduce the number of bent shafts. one shaft a year perhaps, but 3 to 4 shafts is excessive. Are there any adjustments that will help? Any signage that has worked?? thanks

I installed a Ryko Soft Gloss 5 about 3 years ago. I like it, a good washing simple machine but; I have had the passenger's side entrance brush stub shaft bent and replaced over 9 times. I have raised return air pressures. My Thanksgiving "strike & bend " was caused by a 4 door Ram Pickup with...
