    Token prices

    I have been using Van Brook for 10 years. I used a stock high security token. It is only 19.5 cents per on 10k plus order. The size is a .90; a bit smaller than a quarter. Why would you pay 75 cents for a token---that is crazy.

    Bill Acceptor Service

    I like CoinCo. Low cost; low maint. I have needed service at $100,000 worth of bills, and I have had some go for $200,000 worth of bills. ( I recors counts at changes so I know how many $ worth of bills go through. Avg. maintenance about $200. I dispense all $1 tokens, so stringing is not an...

    D/H Vendmaster

    Thanks a bunch Rob. Just got the board back. $100 just like you said. It looks like those silly little halogen lights they put in there may have burned out the board. I have had that happen to a Fawn vendor, too. I removed them, and am going to put a little strip flourescent in there that...

    interest rate

    Is your lender a local or a national? I have never heard of rates like that for a commercial car wash that is fixed. I'll give you a $350 finders fee if you can get me hooked up at 4.50% on $2.5M for two washes. I am at 6.5% fixed for 5 years with on time payment history for the past 16 years.

    Are we naive or what?

    OK JJ, I watched 58 seconds of that and tuned it off. It made me want to shoot the towel right off that idiots head. Since I am a bad shot, it may take several clips to do it. It is up to all of us to NOT support these folks in any way. Although they own many businesses in our Country, we...

    white spots

    I can offer this for you to check out. I get my '03 black Yukon detailed about every 6 months. Just before I took it last time, I noticed these white spots on the hood. They looked similar to hard water spots. This vehicle goes through one of my ibas probably 4 times per week on average. So...

    Are we naive or what?

    I agree with Bill. I do not like any muslims I see in my area-- period. Not simply because they are muslim, but because of their actions and demeaner. If I see they own a business, I avoid it. The only thing I would like to do for them is give them a one way ticket out of the U.S. Anyone...

    Trademark Infringement - What Say You?

    OK, that is why the "tm" is right behind the Red Baron. I would say you probably have a case. Maybe call them up, tell them you are a nice guy, so you will settle for a measly 20% of the gross for using your name.

    Trademark Infringement - What Say You?

    That Red Baron name has the "tm" behind it. That means it is registered at the patent office.( or should be ) Do you actually have that name registered?

    push button bay meter

    I bought a wash with JC equipment. I promptly removed the touch pads, and replaced with a rotary switch. I had enough of those push buttons after 2 months. They locked up, got stuck, or just did whatever they wanted. A rotary switch will last forever (almost).

    Buying used equip long distance

    I bought a reclaim from carwashconsignment.com a while back. Those guys seem to handle everything OK. I think they will make sure you get your product. My purchase was $3k. As it turned out, the owner of the equipment did not remove the drain plug from the 3hp pump. This caused a crack in...

    Whoever the person is, they must have voted "yes" in the poll. Who else would say yes?

    turtle wax

    Turtle Wax had/has corporate stores. They are selling some of them. Maybe they figured out it is a bit harder to run a car wash than just collecting the money.

    Lamb Vac Motors VS KR Vac Motors

    I agree with Earl. I did the brush thing once.....that was the end of that. The KR motors have been lasting fine for me--always 2-3 years +. I keep my bags shook down-at least 3 times per week. I always put two new motors on, then use the one good old one to replace an old with an old. When...

    Nu-Star Soft Touch 3 - Good or Bad?

    Bubbles--looking at the plc control panel, this unit is probably only set up for one wash. There is a whole bunch of wires missing from the fused outputs. It should be no big deal to add stuff, but I would just be aware it looks like a very basic set up at this point. It is probably only...
