Programmable LED Sign

[Mel(NC)]

The road side sign at my self serve needs work. Half of the bulbs are blown and the plastic faces on both sides are cracked. Last time I had it repaired it was around $2500. I am wondering if anyone has used a programmable LED sign as their main sign? It would be much cheaper and I like the idea of changing the text once and a while. Here is one I am looking at amazon sign

We have something very similar. Works really well, displays current temperature, and I put up messages relevant to the time of year (Christmas, Easter, summer, spring etc.)

14 inches X 77 inches isn't a very big sign. Where do you plan on putting this sign on your car wash? We have a digital at one of our car washes, I think it's about 5' X 5'. At one of the other car washes the bulbs burned out years ago and we turned it off, it had no affect on business by turning the sign off.

We had a local sign company give us a quote on a replacing our reader board with a double sided 3' X 8' LED and it was about $55K. It was a small pixel though but still we were really surprised at the price. We didn't go for it. We did have our post painted, new reader board faces, new flex faces, and new LED bulbs and cost over $10K. That was at one of the least expensive sign shops around.
