    Favorite SS In-bay upgrades

    I have several people on this board alone that will testify to the fact I am never opposed to taking someone's money. I'm a proud filthy capitalist pig.

    Favorite SS In-bay upgrades

    Many times the lipstick is the most inexpensive and effective upgrades. Consumers want pretty. When was the last time you changed the decals on your vacs and meterboxes What does the building look like? How about the lot? Are you still using incandescent, fluorescent, or metal halide lighting...

    Need all new equipment, everything !! Bought a closed down car wash in Pasadena, Texas

    The 1034 timer is the main brain that runs the car wash bay. Dixmor LED6 is a far superior product. It allows you to do count up with your credit card system. There doesn't appear to be one in the quote you posted. Credit card is a must. The XE validator is the bill acceptor in your change...

    Brushes for Vacuum motors

    Brushes are fine to replace if you're willing to do the periodic inspection of them. If you let them go until they are "gone" you've most likely damaged the motor itself and then there is no point in changing the brushes. I have customers in both camps. Some don't mind having to periodically...

    GinSan GS31 Display Timer Replacement

    The lexan covers came with the entire enclosure and that's one of the things we can no longer get. I've had some customers have some success with using headlight restorer kits on them.

    GinSan GS31 Display Timer Replacement

    As a short term improvement you can change the red lens. They are part number 74117 and I think a pack of 5 is less than $10. When yours were install that was a clean look but it makes necessary upgrades to bigger, better meter boxes more work.

    GinSan GS31 Display Timer Replacement

    There is not a drop in replacement for the GS31. Several components we used to build those went obsolete several years ago and because of the very low volume of those we were selling we opted not to invest the R&D dollars into designing a replacement. To be blunt, the display in the bay/timer in...

    Looking for feedback from carwash owners

    I can tap the little button on my steering wheel, say "Car Wash" and my built in navigation system on my Dodge Ram will have them pop up.

    Talos validator program card

    In a bay or vacuum it has to be set to always enable. There is no controller in either of those to enable it.

    Talos validator program card

    Use the blank one. Make sure it prints out the size of a dollar bill. They suggest a #2 pencil but I know people have used black ink pens and sharpies

    PDQ Dryer Timer Replacement/Repair

    They may have located some aftermarket parts or they scooped up some on the secondary markets. That's their niche. We just couldn't justify the engineering expense for a product that we haven't built for PDQ in 20 years.

    Questions about how to set up the car wash business

    First, hire a good lawyer that is familiar with the local codes where you are looking to set up. In New York or New Jersey, they will also need to be adept at knowing which local authorities need to be......ahem.......satisfied and what that will take.

    PDQ Dryer Timer Replacement/Repair

    If they are the ones we manufactured that have the 4" displays, they will be difficult to repair as the displays and associated driver chips are no longer manufactured.
