Jim at Etowah Valley will repair it for you at a reasonable cost.

We use WD40 on our locks once a month to keep them working effortlessly.

Sounds like a negotiation ploy. You are not a gas station when you want such a study in case the holding tanks are leaking.

Thank you VERY much for this helpful list! I have been trying to get this simple to follow directions from tech support for much longer than I care to admit - they are uber hard to reach and not always helpful. Fortunately we have a very nice customer base where most people are fine with...

https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milton-Industries-Inc-Hose-Ferrule-Crimping-Tool-1626/301836727 I assume the ferrule goes over the push-in connector on the part inside the hose to hold it in place instead of a C clamp. Would like to avoid clamps if possible as they do not look great, can scratch...

I guess I will need to learn how it works when it arrives.

We have a crimper on order and will try the approach as I like the ability to make custom length, appreciate the suggestion. For the 3/8 hose we are looking at the KR crimp swivel fittings (KR HU0606MC) as it is a one stop solution. Any better crimp fitting to recommend? thx

Give them tokens or a wash code since their claim cannot be validated.

Standard changers have an axle from the motor and an axle from the hopper wheel. They meet and appear to be be connected by the roll pin. I can see the motor axle turning when a bill is inserted and if I manually turn the hopper axle with my fingers I can get coins to drop. If you have a...

We have anti dumping signs and cameras everywhere so we have taken trash back to the owners house in the past. Two weeks ago our 4 (110gal) trash bins were filled & overflowing in 1.5 days (trash is collected twice a week!) so we removed the bins to wake up the people to the abuse issue. We...

We recently updated a Standard 500 changer to use the MEI Mars bill acceptor. Process was fairly easy and the Mars made the system more reliable. However we now have an issue with the hopper motor axle. The motor turns but does not turn the hopper wheel. Spoke with Standard tech support who...

I agree with the comment about Hamilton Changers. They are more reliable and better designed than American and Standard Changers plus you can reach tech support. We have all three changers at our washes. We recently upgraded a Hamilton ER-60 to the DRS, what a nice changer! We probably will...

This thread illustrates why most car wash sales are a multiple of gross revenue as two owners can run the same wash with differing results. The sales I have heard about are usually in the 3x-5x gross revenue range however depending on other factors like location, competition, equipment...

WashConnect is a huge plus. Makes monitoring the wash quick and easy. I wish Hamilton had a similar system as their Hosted Solutions looks like a Windows 98 vintage.

The ICS Auto Flex works great, it is slick, and customers like the woman who guides them through the purchase process. The issues we had (tap to pay not working properly after we upgraded to the new card chip reading system) were resolved, ICS tech is a pleasure to work with. That being said...

Due to the issue mentioned we relocated our vacs to new islands on the side of the wash. We are fortunate to have a very large lot. Made a huge difference as vac users can now take their time & be more relaxed, and the bays are not blocked.

Besides the 35 grease points any other maintenance items that may be different than the Razor? Yes the 19 on the Razor are a breeze to handle. Any other issues to be aware of? How does it handle drivers who cannot drive straight down the middle of the bay? Do you lose a lot of the mop...

Can you tell us about your Istobal Combo? We have been dissuaded from that machine even though we like the concept. Istobal support has not been as good as the WW support which is another consideration for us....

Goldlines have been bullet proof and easy to maintain, plus Hamilton support has been terrific. Hamilton DRS changers (ditto)

Any early feedback on your Profile? We are considering a Profile as a replacement for an Istobal M22 to get away from floor tracks.
