I was in Sams club this week and they wanted me to upgrade my membership. If I did for $30 I would be invited to their special black Friday preveiw on Sunday night. In the flyer they had a 60 inch Led tv for around $600. That is the cheapest price I have seen on this size of Tv. I just bought a...

I have had the -22 reading in the past a few times and it has always been the temp sensor. Sometimes it is just a wire rubbed through or cut. Inspect the wire from sensor back to the weep miser. Otherwise replace the sensor.

I will go out on limb here and ask if you have done any kind of proforma so you know what to expect for income from this wash. Lets assume that you put in a nice new 4 bay package with credit cards in the bay and bill acceptors. If you look at some of the surveys about carwashes you might find...

The only calls I get are from people who check their account on line and see the preauthorized charge. Maybe once a month I get a call on this and explain it and say it is cleared on my end but it is THEIR bank that delays the clearing of the account and everyone seems happy with this...

I would simplify it a little. Too many options confuses people. Start with 2 or 3 options at the most.

Contact your local media and get them involved. They will advertise it for free just to be on board with it. Several local eating establishments will likely be doing similar promos and you can tie in with them also. Make it as easy as possible for any vet to get a free wash. We extend it to any...

Yes, I do think the CC in the bays revenue.

I have a Hamilton credit card to token machine. I do not think it is legal to have a credit card to quarter machine. In the time I used the token vendor I think I averaged about $40 per month in useage. When I converted the 4 SS bays over to a credit card reader in the bays sales went up to...

T5 lights are much closer to LEDs than the old school T12 Mr. Roman used for a comparison. T5s 20,000 hours vs. 50,000 hours for LEDs. T5s are closer to 90 lumens per watt. Leds will be the thing in the future but they still do not cost out compared to T5s or even T8s IMO. I have a few of each...

You go into the setup area of your wash gear computer and on the third line it will probably say terminal number 001. Change this to your new terminal number and that is all you have to do. Wash gear has complete audio instructions if you call their phone number and select option 2. It would...

If you have wash gear and are using Bank of America as your processor you need to update your terminal # by October 1 to continue to accept credit cards. I got a call from BOA telling me to change my terminal number so my wash gear system would continue to work. I had not received any letters...

I had been using the clay sponges for a while and they were working out great. The last couple of batches I have tried have not been very good however. I may have to try the clay towels. For now I am back to using clay bars.

Thanks for the research and information Bud.

A few years ago my state made it legal to use lethal force to defend your property. Have not seen many folks shooting and killing people defending their property but it sure gives the criminals something to think about. I think it has lead to a decrease in most property crimes.

The higher the quality of towels you use the higher the walk off. Microfiber towels will easily acheive 50% walk off unless you are right there watching everyone. Been there done that. I have only been dying towels for 20 years with no complaints.

The exit prox also turns off the dryers if a car leaves early. Do you notice the dryer running after a car has left the bay? Clean exit photo eye if it does. I have seen a dirty photo eye cause intermitant problems. Ryko should have a program copy.

I don't have a laser but do have a ryko that uses belt drive. Their belt is made by a company called Breco FLex. I bought a roll of 300 feet from them once at a big savings. Astromatic will sell you shorter lengths of the belt which is probably the same as a laser. The number of teeth per inch...

I have experienced this event on a couple of my hamilton ACWs. Some things I have noticed that cause this to occur are 1. If a customer is pushing the wash selection button at the same time the wash reset signal is being sent from the OHD the reset signal is blocked and not recognized by the...

The inlet solenoid is probably sticking. Does it only happen on hot or on cold?
