My car wash is located in Texas (Fort Worth) and lately the weather has been HOT! Earlier this year we had a lot of rain more than usual but it's just got now

Diamond, yes it is...my bad meant to put that link in my original post oops! My soap distributor just demonstrated it to me and it looks pretty slick...basically the app on your phone turns on and off the bay, vacs, IBA, whatever you decide to hook it up to! Customers can earn "credits" for...

Hey guys how many of you have seen or installed Coinless App at your car wash? My rep sent me the info from the last car was show and from what I can tell it seems pretty promising....best of all cheaper (equipment cost and processing fees) vs. CryptoPay or so I have been told. I don't have it...

Update: Well the other day I went to the wash and one of the changers was out of service so I figured it was just a busy weekend and the quarters were emptied out right. Well I opened up the changer and sure the hopper was empty however I noticed a small pile of qtrs "floating" half way down...

Personally, I think you would be better served short and long term doing it your self therefore post whatever problem you may have and you will have more than a few members willing to help.

I'm in N Texas DFW area and I haven't seen any yet

As Ourtown mentioned I would first look to see if any other operators in the area would be interested in the locations....I know I am always looking for new car washes in my area. Posting them here wouldn't hurt either and its free. Check to see what car wash association is in your area and I...

Randy, thanks for the suggestion I will reach out to them. I would estimate these safe heads are approx 30+ years old!!! The older washes down here in N Texas have these round safe heads although most are Star Safes which bought out Major Safe Co. (my brand of safes) a while back from all the...

That's approx. $2,400 in qtrs! That's some serious coin Mep...lol Your wash must be turning and burning.....congrats!👍

Sooner, No from what I know or have seen there are some small differences not only in the diameter but also the thickness of the safe head as well. I would double check your measurements 2 or 3 times before buying a used replacement safe head. First, I would call a local locksmith that works...

I would highly recommend STA Graphics. Just used them to rehab some Coleman combo vacs and their quality is excellent.

Most that I have seen were usually scraped for land value. I have seen some that did what was alrdy mentioned plus oil change and state inspection

Yeah MEP I was hoping a Star would work but the dial is smaller in diameter (2 inch diameter vs. 2 7/8ths) throwing the numbers on the combination off. Additionally the pins dont fit my safe either. Spoke with American Security and I think they still have some of these dials laying around...

Thanks TDL, I figured maybe someone on here that rehabbed a old place might have one. Also checking here in my local market but yeah I'm finding out they are tough to come by!

Thanks OurTown yes I called 3 already one was an authorized dealer of American Security but they told me they have never seen one this old. Ill keep trying

I know this is a long shot but I thought I would ask everyone here. So I lost my removable dial for my in bay safe vaults. The brand is Major which was bought by Star Safes that was later purchased by American Security. I already checked with American Security and they don't sell this dial...

I agree 100% my previous lot helper lived half a mile from the wash and would go up there to just hang out and take out the trash and regulate crap like this.....when he was working for me I never got dumped on. Now my guys have time to go by once a day and sometimes we find a similar mess.

Interesting question Im curious to see everyone's feed back..as for me I have another business thats my "day job" and have 2 car washes on the side....wouldnt call it "passive income" bc the washes require attention daily. I also have 2 full time workers that help with all the daily stuff and...

For the mud I welded on diamond shape expanded metal onto my grate to make sure mudders dont wash down chunks of mud filling my pits faster. We normally shovel any mud into the dumpster and wash down the residue

After you read this forum over and over...and get back from running away screaming....i would try to offer to help another SS wash owner with their routine maintenance. If you have the wash under contract I would ask to meet the current owner every time their on site to start learning the ropes...
