    Totaled IBA

    The important thing on my coverage is that I had equipment replacement coverage and not just value lost. The replacement cost allows me to recover the difference between the insurance depreciation figures. I used WCA insurance for years and it was great coverage. I had a local guy bid for my...

    The insurance company already approved the claim and is sending roughly half of the total amount so I can get it ordered ASAP. When installation is complete they will send out the last portion. Then I can can work on lost income etc by comparing numbers from prior year. Overall I am impressed...

    Your car wash worst damage claim?

    I know we all hope our car washes cause no damage but occasionally things happen and we do have to take care of a car that has been damaged by our car wash for what ever reason. I was just wondering what some of the worst claims are. Over 25 years I have had a few usually under $1000 and rarely...

    Prep soap for IBA's

    The 64 to 1 means that you should add 64 parts water to 1 part of the 55 gallon drum you mix up. Applying it direct undiluted to a car would not be a good idea. ( way to strong) If you have another 55 gallon drum mix a little less than 1 gallon of the in bay turbo powder a barrel with water...

    Thanks Earl. I am using Quicken so it should be easier than I thought. It seems like my insurance company is really trying to get the replacement expedited ASAP so I may not be down as long as mentioned.

    Adjuster is set to come by at 7 am on Monday morning. I have been assigned a forensic accountant for the lost revenue portion. SOunds like Earl is spot on with his response. If I could get the insurance to act fast and only be down 10 weeks I am not sure if it will be worth getting my...

    Replacing stickers on vacs

    The best way to put them on is by using a spray water bottle with a little dish soap and spray both the back of decal and the vac. Then squeegy the water out with a plastic scraper.

    Ballpark figure for hooking up 3 gang blowdryers + 1 Air Shammee

    I just hooked up 4 dryer motors that were added to a couple of IBAs. My conduit was already big enough so I could run the new wire without new conduit. I spent $2100 to get the power to all 4 dryers. We did the signal control wire ourselves. My guess would be around 4 to 5 K for what you are...

    We have his tag and identity, He hung up on the police when they called him on his cell phone. Police issued a warrant for his arrest and he will be given a hit and run citation. I even have him on video getting out of his truck in the bay so he won't be able to say his truck was stolen. There...

    I had a 2 x 10 bolted across the door at 90 inches. He blew right through it. If I had a heavier restrictor the building block itself could have been damaged or pulled in and the claim would have been bigger.

    I will try to speed up the process but I fear it will be a few months before it is up and running. I do have business interuption insurance. My insurance company already told me they will look at last years deposits for the time period to figure lost business etc. More worried about how long it...

    The guy in this truck and trailer decided to drive through one of my IBAs today. Trailer was only about 2 feet too tall. After knocking out the door and clearance header he tried to pull straight through the wash. Ended up bending the entire stainless frame of the machine. He had to back out...
