We switched to high-security $1 tokens 10 years ago (2015), due to quarter theft. I was on-site a lot and once customers understood the WHY, they accepted them. It was NOT a scam or con-game! I was happy to exchange quarters for tokens or buy back any unused tokens. We went with two-tone...

Where are you located Tylersizemore5? I have Hamilton equipment too. I've been using X-Cel Electronics in Las Vegas, NV for 20 years. Dan Wesolaski is a certified Hamilton repair tech. Very knowledge, personal and helpful! I think he does a better job repairing validators and hoppers than...

Who do you buy your soap from? Here in Northern California, my soap rep company contracts with a sub-contractor who installed the Diskin dryers for me. You can also hire a qualified & insured handyman / electrician to do. Follow the tips given in this Forum.

I know you have cameras and another job, it's a bummer you weren't able to see the 2 signs he posted and he didn't call! :( I don't think you would win in court. He was trying to be helpful. I had a similar experience at my SS wash. They fixed a piece of masking tape to the coin acceptor door...
Lol! I dont think car wash operators can retire, we just become teachers for the next generation. What do you do with all your head-knowledge, experience, energy & time?? 😅
On Christmas morning 2020, I found a bunch of high-quality ski boots & equipment in our trash cans. Some were brand new with tags. We thought it was odd, so called local police department, and set everything aside. Turns out everything belonged to a family on their way to the ski slopes. The...
Survey doesn't allow for 2 color choices. Our car wash was originally boring brown & gold. 20 years ago we remodeled & upgraded to BLUE & YELLOW. The colors really stand-out from the street!! 💙💛
