    Coin/Token/Cash less (no cash at bay/vacuum) System?

    Here's an update on my Coinless installation so far... It's been 3 days and the system is still NOT fully hooked up or tested. While the progress has been slow-going, we are making progress! :) I believe the issues we're having is a combination of working outside on the hottest days in...

    Coin/Token/Cash less (no cash at bay/vacuum) System?

    Hi Cool Wash, it's been 3 days and it's NOT fully hooked up yet, but we're making progress. I don't have CryptoPay at my car wash. I looked into it 7 years ago, but it wasn't a good fit for us. We went with $1 tokens instead can be purchased at the Cash Machine (1 CC reader), and then use on...

    Car wash Security System

    Happy to help!! They might be able to use your current camera system to monitor & notify you directly. $300 a month is for monitoring service. Leasing their cameras are additional. Good luck! 👍

    Car wash Security System

    I'm happy to share!! :) I've been using Alert360 for almost 3 years now. They installed 8 cameras at my home in November 2019. Then, when I couldn't get ahold of my prior camera salesman, I had Alert360 install new cameras and alarm pad at my car wash in January 2021. They monitor 14...

    Car wash Security System

    I have 31 high-resolution cameras at my car wash. I lease them from Alert360 out of Oklahoma. Earlier this year we added their video monitoring service, with 2-way audio cameras, from 11pm - 5am. Their agents can actually speak with individuals who are loitering longer than 30 minutes, doing...

    Do You Post Political Signs?

    Very timely topic! My car wash is located on a busy corner in town, traffic count is 102,000 cars a day. For the past 17 years, I have allowed friends to post their campaign signs, but things have become way too heated politically and divisive in California. Last year, I decided NOT to allow...

    Coin/Token/Cash less (no cash at bay/vacuum) System?

    7 years ago, we had a lot of quarter theft so converted over to $1 tokens, that customers can purchase with cash or credit/debit cards. The next step is to ADD a mobile payment app, as tokens have become very labor intensive (buying, sorting, cleaning). After much research, we're EXCITED to be...

    Touch Free Self Service???

    Just gotta share... its been months since I washed my car! By the time I'm done with my car wash chores, I'm hot, tired & hungry AND my bays are full. Lots of baked on bee-poop & dirt! Downright embarrassing since I OWN a car wash! 😖 Well, I finally made the time today and was VERY...

    Touch Free Self Service???

    Here in "hot" California, we see a lot of customers with old bugs that are BAKED onto their paint. Touch free alone won't remove them, even with the Blendco Pre-soak. We offer soft hogs-hair Foam Brushes (no nylon to scratch their paint). Gentle, but very effective! 👌

    Air Shamee or other in bat drying?

    Based on feedback from my customers (4 years of use), they want MORE AIR. Comparing my notes from past brochures Diskin uses 4.5/5 HP motor that produces airflow 320 MPH, Carolina Pride uses 3 HP motor that produces airflow ~ 180 MPH and JE Adams (Turbo Towel) uses 120 Volt motor that produces...

    Air Shamee or other in bat drying?

    The single motor is DEFINITELY the way to go. When I was looking to purchase Diskins dryer they sent me to 2 car washes that used their 3-motor system (before they came out with 1-motor system). I tried them and barely any air was blowing out. I called Diskin and they said 1 or 2 of the...

    HOT WATER???

    When I bought my car wash 19 years ago, I removed the giant 80 gas water heater. It was badly rusted & too expensive to use in California. Then, I switched over from cheap chemicals to high-quality Blendco chemicals & customers tell me their car is getting cleaner! 😍 I know chemistry has come...

    Air Shamee or other in bat drying?

    Its TOTALLY worth it! ❤ Air Dyers put my car wash on the map!! I installed Diskins Air Shammee II at my car wash in December 2018. Cost $20,000 ($2k per bay x 5 bays + $5k for electrical panel upgrade + $5k for installation. Based on hour meters, this was paid off within 7 months. I installed...
