    Pros/Cons of handheld cashier devices

    We use the DRB PTT's. We tried the larger tablet device but found it too cumbersome.

    Adding a Wash n Go option

    We use a strobe type fire alarm horn. We use a function on our tunnel controller to turn it on at the blowers.

    Fired the Chemical Guy

    Adding hot water should increase the effectivness of your chemicals. I would check for other issues like hard water or clogged tips to solve your problem.

    Anyone notice unitec's new customer support policy?

    Not only did Ken retire, they also lost Dwight Reed last year. Dwight is another really smart guy who was in charge of support.

    DRB handheld

    I use the PTT handhelds. The portable receipt printers are actually quite robust. The newest versions are Bluetooth and use lithium batteries. As far as your cashier goes, since you have a lube I guess it makes sense to keep one.

    DRB handheld

    I've been using them for about 10 years now. My wash is an Express/Full-service combo. I was able to eliminate the cashier position at my wash and still process the full-service customers. I like that using them still enables the customers to have a person take and process their transaction...

    Prep gun setup

    I don't think you really want to have your guns turn off every time you let go of the trigger. Most setups use a flow switch to activate a timer which turns the guns on and then shuts them off after a short period of time.

    DRB Wash Programming ?

    I don't know why you wouldn't go with option #1. Sitewatch will control the gates and queue so all you have to do is send the car when it is loaded on the conveyor. You can still have the option of adding or subtracting additional services in the tunnel using this process. Too much margin for...

    The "leader" in world wide conveyor systems?

    I think Sonnys does a great job of marketing to new investors and manufacturing good entry level equipment. I think there are other companies that manufacture highrer quality equipment that appeals to more seasoned operators.

    How should I respond to this customer?

    Had a customer claim we broke the tailight of her car. We had her look at the video of her visit to the wash and it clearly showed the light was intact when she left the wash. A few days later we were contacted by her insurer with a demand for payment of repairing her car. We spoke to them and...
