Niantic (Pokémon Go's parent company) is not currently taking submissions for new Pokestops. Since the game launched about a month ago they only had a 2 hour window where they took submissions through their website, but the response was overwhelming so they closed it quick. Follow Niantic on...

EVERY so often we have a car that just does it naturally, its almost always an SUV or Minivan, something that is pretty top heavy on the middle to back side. Also, the vast majority of the time this happens its because the customer was holding their brakes until they feel the roller hit their...

I'm a big fan of "your wife called, she said wash the car" I also have "rain doesn't have soap", A picture of mega-man that says "blast the dirt away", "spring into a clean car", a 1-up mushroom from Mario "Give your car an extra life" that's just a few fun ones in between a bunch of boring...

Make a list of everything you expect them to do on a daily basis. Make them complete and initial it every shift. Its that easy, its called being a boss. Pick up garbage, sweep the lot, clean the windows, clean out podium, clean pay stations. Be nitpicky. If they don't want to do the work...

When we replaced our cloth we used a couple techniques Before anything we ripped off the main portion of the cloth so only the portion left in the channel was there with maybe a half inch sticking out. Then we used a punch/hammer or screwdriver to get a small section out. From there we used...

The power tool brand Milwaukee makes a great boombox for this. They have two models, a $100 boombox style that does FM, AM, and has an aux cord as well as a USB input (it can also by ran using a drill battery) and they have a $200 cube style that does FM, AM, Bluetooth, Ipod Dock, USB Input and...

We use ICS, all the bumps are set to selective but that's only because not every wash package comes with every wrap.

Yes. We really don't touch the mirrors at all, and each of our four main wraps have a timed mirror bump function where the wraps jump out around the mirrors. Its a bit of a pain to get the timing perfect (it may be good on a smaller car but the second you get a big truck it knocks them in) so...

I put up the "Your wife called, says wash the car" yesterday and already had a couple customers laughing about it! These are perfect!

Not really a tip on what to look for in a new hire, but the website www.indeed.com has brought a LOT of applicants in for my wash. I recently found out about it and posted on there and within a week I had 50 people interested, granted, only a handful were even worth my time, but that's still a...

Let me preface this by saying its not only you. In the last few months all of our sites have been blowing through tire-shine pads and it is very hard to get them saturated. But this is what we've done to help prevent some of the shredding. 1) When installing a new pad take a sponge with some...

Yea, you guys are all pretty spot on to what we do. License Plates we hold for about a year, and normally its a week on everything else. We just had a lady come back and look for her rear spare tire cover after a week and a half and is furious that we didn't hang on to it. To be fair my...

Hey everyone, quick question How long do you hold on to parts you've found in your tunnel/wash? I'm talking, like, a spare tire cover or something like that. Is there any legal precedent for how long you must hold on? Thanks in advance

Do they have what cut the tire? If it was truly "Slashed" or "Popped" by the wash there may be some sort of fragment of what caused it. Like you said though, nothing touched that tire, which means it was more than likely something he drove over right before he pulled into the wash. Unless...

UPDATE: 3.5 hours in and still no problems. The board reset seemed to have worked. Thanks for all the help so far guys!

The busier it is the more it seems to happen, but I chalked that up to the fact that we have more chances for it to happen. My assistant talked to ICS last night and they swore up and down it was a hydraulic issue even thought the relay doesn't even turn on when it happens. He finally talked...

Hydraulic. The retract and the hydraulics for the spin are separate relays and programmed separately. Its set to "Selective" not "Mandatory" but that's because we don't use it on our lowest, $3 Wash (although we do use it for $6, $10, $12, and $15). It's a sonny's wrap. And it works EVERY...

I have a very odd problem. Our first set of wraps wont spin sometimes. And by sometimes I mean only on our top ($15) wash. The really odd part is that its not EVERY $15 wash. The power pack seems fine, when they run on the other washes (and on the $15 that it works) they run great. All...

Wouldn't life be so much easier if we could just ban customers when they complain? Especially when they don't get what they paid for. Sounds like a company that will stay in business for a long time.
