sprocket Sounds like you need another bank. S.O.L. is NOT something that will happen a second time. Screw me once, shame on you…screw me twice, shame on me.

I talked to my banker (wife) about this. She suggested that you go to your bank and get your checking account straightened out. Then go to the police and file charges to prevent this from happening again.

Wally Last year April was my best month and the electric bill was $970.79…August was my worst (less than half of April) and the bill was 794.36. I’ve got 30 MH fixtures that keep burning that power weather the wash is busy or not.

$.125/KW from Gulf Power here in Fl.

I got a replacement drawer through Windtrax when a crook tried to break in.

rzeavy, You obviously have not been robbed near enough times. It took only one $1,000 lesson on a sunny Saturday afternoon for me to see light and convert to tokens. The crooks still try every now and then, but the days of stealing quarters from the changers are over.

I use the Fonic for both hi-pressure soap and brush on the SS side. Makes a decent show and cleans OK. I've been using them about 12 years now.

Just like when my bookie died…couldn’t have happened to a nicer SOB.

$7.50/1,000 gal. for both water and sewer.

Since it is winter, could your machines be purging the presoak lines just as the dryer begins to make its pass?

This exact same thing happened to my closest competitor when he first opened. He has an Autec with the spinning cloth wheels on the sides. One of them got hold of the end of a rod & reel the customer had hanging over the tailgate. The hooks and sinker got tangled in the cloth and did a number...

Tpoppa Yes it is. This month we had a 23 degree and a 24 degree night…last winter saw some nights that got into the teens. sparkey I forgot to say that I wanted the backup supply to cover a well pump going down. I would like the backup to activate with a loss of pressure. I’ll check out...

No. I converted my J.E. Adams vacs to accept $1 secure tokens with an electronic acceptor and a 24v transformer. They have been doing just fine since 2005.

I bought a 17.5kw portable generator with a triple-fuel conversion kit installed. It came with a 100 amp auto transfer switch. http://www.generatorsales.com/triple-fuel-generators.asp

Red, you are getting way too soft in your old age! Recently I got a call that my auto had stolen money from an innocent customer. I arrive at the wash to find the customer parked in front of the ACW and her standing at the rear of her car flagging customers away telling them the car wash is...

Even dollar pricing has worked best for me...vacs, SS and auto.
