I saw the post about Keystone beer. Isn't Pennsylvania the Keystone State? Does anybody do anything with that brand around you? I'm in Nebraska, and a lot of businesses brand themselves after the Cornhuskers. Just a thought.....

I've had IMT insurance for over 20 years. They send me an audit form once a year to show my gross sales. I think part of my premium is calculated on sales volume because I'll get a bill or credit from them based on this audit. If you are happy with them otherwise, I would put up with it. I...

Sorry, I don't have a solution for your problem because I've never experienced it. I have my system set for count down and have had only had one charge back in four years. Good luck in training your customers.

I tried the return spring idea and couldn't fine anything that worked. Anything strong enough like a screen door spring won't let the door open. And a closer hinge won't work because the surface isn't flat to allow it to open. If someone comes up with an idea that works, share it please. I...

I have two cameras trained on the changers. One shows the person walking towards them and the other is straight overhead showing the actual transaction. I had a hopper problem with the BC1400 a couple of years ago and the overhead camera supported the customer. Other times I've told the...

Sorry I didn’t respond quicker. I’ve spent the last two nights in the hospital with a relative. Thanks for your responses. Here’s a quick breakdown of the 35K expenses: $5850 sales tax and credit card fees $12000 utilities, phone and security $9000 vending, supplies, and repair parts $5150 real...

I’ve got a friend looking at purchasing a self service car wash to buy with the following financials. $116,000 gross sales based on a three year average. (slightly increasing each year.) $35,000 direct expenses needed for day to day operation. $81,000 EBITA This is also before any wages or...

When that happened to me I took a used card and tapped down on it until the obstruction pushed out. It looked like someone had folded a piece of plastic in there. No harm done once it came out.

My bank mentioned that to me last summer. I suggested that they explain to the Federal Reserve that I am getting about $1500 per month in dollar coins, but I am depositing about $2200 per month to them in quarters. I understand they are really short on quarters. They never mentioned it again...

That's wrong. A one is sweeping up beer bottles and condoms. This job would take a push broom, so that makes it a two.

On a scale of 1 to 10 I would call that one a 2...

The size of my tools is a whole other subject...

I have a fairly busy 6 bay and put in three 75 gal 75k btu water heaters. Each one is responsible for two bays. I don't rinse with hot water, but I'm sure there is enough storage there to do that. One of these would surely be enough for you. They were about $2200 each three years ago at the...

I feel your pain brothers. I had to replace a well pump that circulates the floor heat this morning. Climbing up and down off of the concrete floor was a challenge. The hardest part was getting the unions to break loose after being in place for many years. I almost "phoned a friend" but put...

Make sure everything is working properly. If I see something like that or like a cut vacuum or foam brush hose it can be someone trying to get even with you for a real or perceived loss at the wash. It may have been just an ornery prank, but I always investigate further when I see something...

I have a large equipment room so I was able to just put in 3 standing water heaters. 75 gallon and 75k btu.

I phased my Paloma 24 models out a few years back because I couldn't find any diaphragms. I've got one left that will be gone when the diaphragm goes. Mine were ready to retire anyway.

Thanks for the suggestion DAWGWASH but I've been doing it the same way for at least 20 years and it works fine for me. If it ain't broke, don't fix it...

I'm quite a bit north of you, but here's what I do. I used to weep the foam brush through the weep miser and watch a lot of expensive water go down the drain. I also watched a lot of freeloaders wash their car for nothing. Over 20 years ago I put up a sign right over the brush that says...
