Up and Running

[James.Ireland]

Hi all,

Yesterday I re-opened my late father's car wash that had sat abandoned for more than 5 years. I wanted to say thank you to all those who helped me out with answers to my questions and also show a couple pictures of where I started and where I am today. I know I still have a long way to go but I'm proud of myself for getting this old wash back in service.

Next priority is signage.

There is also an old Ryko R7B quietly corroding away in the building but I'm hoping to get the financials in good enough shape to replace it with a newer touchless wash some time in the future. Anyone want to buy a low hour R7B?

What an improvement!
I’m truly impressed with what you did to make the SS meter boxes look modern. It’s incredible the impact a simple decal can make.

Thanks Eric. I hadn’t worked at a car wash since moving away from my hometown 15 years ago. There was a lot to try to remember.

Great job James! The car wash looks very clean & modern. I appreciate your posting BEFORE and AFTER photos. I'm very proud of your efforts and I'm sure your late father is too!! ❤

Hi Thomas, the wash is located in Bancroft, Ontario, Canada

Would you happen to have any pictures of the R7B?

 

[Greg_T]

Great effort, really hope it goes well for you.

 

[Thomas Miller]

Or whenever you're next at the wash could you take a picture of the R7B?

Can you show us pictures of the machine?
