    Installing larger meter boxes

    I cut my hoses so they can’t spray into the box. Some customers complain but when I tell them why I cut them short they understood.

    Installing larger meter boxes

    Listen to Earl. I bought 2 bill boxes from Etowah to try. Bought more 6 months later. Best and fastest return for the money.

    KR- Excessive Shipping Charges

    Check out Car Wash Superstore. I signed up for $99 per yr. and shipping is free. The inventory is not as large but for me it is worth it.

    In bay tire shine

    I would venture to say that it must be water base vs. oil base then. If so that might be good for you since water base won’t last as long on the tire and won’t sling onto the car.

    The "Tools I love" thread

    My favorite tool is not really a tool at all. It’s the long slim flexible metal strip that’s in the windshield wipers that customers throw away. Especially if it’s the kind that has hooked ends. I use then to unjam stuck coins in the coin accepters.

    Considering upgrade to accept credit cards....Need Input

    I would suggest upgrade to Etowah Meter boxes that have coin, bills and credit card in one box. Give the customer several options to pay and raise your price because of the upgrades.
