    F4 tornado hit our wash

    When I had a total loss of one automatic my insurance wanted wanted all the sales figures for the last 3 years for a average monthly sales total. It turned out that while one auto was down the other picked up the slack and we actually did more business than both averaged. In the end I dropped...

    Saw from quest?

    I use low fume Muratic acid from Home Depot. dilute it 3 to 5 parts with water. Brush or spray it on and let it dwell for a minute then a light scrub and rinse will usually clean about anything and it is much cheaper than anything else I have ever found.

    I have a hand held for the Rykos and my long time Ryko service guy has one. I recently spoke to him about this problem and he described this procedure for restoring a program. I feel a bit better now.

    Coin acceptor

    Check to see if you have short drop or long drop coin acceptors.I have been using secure coin acceptors for several years and I am happy with them. They are programmed for quarters and the dollar coin and can learn 3 coins of your choosing.

    Anyone have a older functioning car wash than us?

    I have one built around 1970 that was a gas station/car wash. I bought it from a guy who at one time had 27 car washes and was the original builder.

    Ryko (NCS) signature series- PLC bad

    I have a signature series at one location but have never had a PLC problem with it. My local ryko tech in the past has been able to download the old program off a bad PLC and reinstall it on a new PLC for the automatic washes. I would think you could do the same.

    First of the month events

    I don't know if other car washes see this happening but around the first of every month but I see my dumpsters fill up with food that has been unused or opened. I see it every month at multiple locations. Pretty sure it is the food stamp people who have not used it so they just throw it away...

    New bill changer ideas

    I tried a token via credit card dispenser once instead of adding Credit Cards to the bays. Big failure. Get credit cards in the bay and soon 80% of the revenue will be by CC.
