    I intend to raise my self serve prices this year....

    My 2 cents on reducing time vs raising prices. Customers pace themselves on washing their cars and really pissing them off when their routine is disrupted . So suck it up raise your prices and feel better that your getting a fair return for the investment of time,money and risk.Merry Christmas

    Hand held dryers

    Sparkey I feel your pain ! I tried one to see how it would go,hooked up on rotary , instructions, menu board. Plus my wash is attended and I would demo on regular basis. Worst than rug beater for usage. Its for sale now

    Quarters rolling through directly to the reject slot.

    Make sure the wires are tight and secure coming out of coin mech. Keep the slide clean as others say above.Btw I don't think slugbuster is that great , my issues were dollar coin being rejected too much.

    Rug Beater by Dralco

    I ve had rugbeater since 2004,recommend it if you have an attended wash. Customers need a demonstration of operation. We do the demo on our "dime" and they are impressed. IT took awhile to build a customer base and its used many times during day. More use than air shammie that is a waste of space.

    Pump Chatter

    Maybe this is related to your issue, I've found that brass fittings imported from China built up debris faster than higher quality brass from an American manufacture.

    Fence in self serve carwash

    I'm fenced and gated,do it myself. I like the idea of a security company stopping by to close at nite. I had an employee not check the bays and closed remotely. Customer stuck inside the bay with the doors down ,called the fire dept which called the employee to let them out.
