I replaced me equipment roughly 3 years ago, and established the following prices for my packages: Basic: $10 Better: $12 Best: $13 Platinum: $16 With Maintenance/Parts/Water/Electric/Chemical prices on the rise I was thinking of increasing the package prices to the following: Basic: $10...

Last year I installed XRS airlift doors on my automatic bay. Since these doors can remain closed in the winter to keep in the heat, I've recently had trouble with customers thinking the wash is closed. I've heard of some wash owners having signs on the Vinyl doors that say "Car Wash Open" or...

I have a pair of XRS Airlift Doors that I installed in my bay roughly two years ago. I've noticed recently that when a car enters/exits the bay, the doors sometimes stop about halfway on their way down. This usually leaves about a 3/4 foot open gap between the ground and the door. As the weather...

I have a friction machine and was wondering if friction soap was even necessary? My wash cycles is as follows: First Pass: Tri-Foam Second Pass: White Foam Third Pass: Brushes with "Brush Water" or water from nozzles Fourth: Wax & Rinse Fifth: Dry Sixth: Dry Friction soap was initially set...

Thanks for your feedback! Have you done the antenna extension before? Do you know where I could get the "extension cord"? Can the antenna be put outside in the elements (Rain/Snow/Hot & Cold Weather)? Thanks again!

Hey Folks, I wanted to get some insight from you all. 1) Cryptopay. Has anyone had distance constraints with Cryptopay card swipes, and Coordinator? Whats the longest distance do you have between them? Has anyone put the Coordinator outside, or had any issues keeping the Coordinator inside...

Are Rykos Galvanized or Stainless? How long/How many washes have you guys gotten out of a Stainless machine?

Can you post a few pictures of the machine? I'd love to see what this looks like.

I pondered the same exact question after I replaced the machine. To me it can either be one of two things. My old machine was leaking water internally within the machine and I wasn't aware.....or I personally think the Flex5 just does more with less water. It probably is much more efficient with...

I recently replaced a 23 year old Ryko. I was debating going touchless, but the projected cost increase of additional water & chemical (~2.5x) had me stick with friction. Replaced my Ryko with a Istobal Flex 5. Water bill cut in half, and it cleans exceptionally well. Glad I made the decision to...

I've been pretty happy with mine so far - I installed it in my bay roughly a year ago. The versatility and programmability of the machine, remote access, and almost always available tech support won the deal in my book.

Istobal Flex5 - 5 Brush.

Interesting insight. Since you are running roughly 40% with your top wash, do you think you will re-raise pricing in the near future?

Had an 18 year old Ryko in the bay when I decided to upgrade - prices were $8, $9, $10. Installed a new unit and went to $10, $12, $14, $16. Monthly average lands around $13.50. I really wish I would have gone a little higher in the pricing band. Has anyone ever done that? Install a new unit...

Indeed! Scott/Robby/Travis - very knowledgeable and always accessible. They were fundamental for my Flex 5 purchase as well. Congrats Greg - looking forward to seeing your pictures and hearing about your packages!

The more I've been thinking about this question, the only thing I can think of that I would not have done is High Pressure Rinse. I actually have it turned off right now. The machine's regular rinse does a great job without the added need to kick on high pressure motors. Everything else I would...

Hey Greg - did you get the videos I sent you of my car wash packages? I texted them to you.

How old/how many washes do you have on your IBA? Any Istobal owners out there with 10+ years on their machine? How bad has maintenance/parts costs been for you?

Sorry for the delay guys. I ended up purchasing my Flex 5, five brush system this summer. My local distributor did an incredible job tearing out my old system and putting in the new machine. My thoughts on it - it is a great machine. I have four wash packages, cheapest/fastest being their new...

Hey Everyone. Have had a few Wash Select 2 issues and was hoping to get some advise. I have an In-bay automatic at a Gasoline station. My WS2 is ethernet connected to my Gilbarco Point of Sale system, and Credit Card processing happens thought the Gilbarco "EDH". 1) My WS2 asks customers for...
