Must have been a slow week

Long enough that a customer can reach the coin box with the gun in their hand when the timer beeps but short enough so they cannot shoot water into the box. I’ve had to many coin boxes and vaults froze solid with ice in the winter. Years ago I got tired of hearing people slam the gun to the...

Does your presoak have HF in it?

Whatever lock set you end up with I would highly suggest installing a lock plate guard on the outside of the door. It will cover the door lock and the deadbolt lock. Mine are very thick with large bolts. The ones I see now look to be not as thick but it’s still deterant. Stainless Steel Latch...

Did he call you for a refund,lol.

Earl is this for your tunnel or self serv?

I use them in my tunnel for prepping and they last for years and work great.

I have my insurance company’s inspector come out to check my boilers and compressors. No cost to me and I’d rather have them check it out more thoroughly. Their the ones that would have to pay if something major happens.

I just dump 1-2 40lb. bags of salt in each pit

I had a catwalk on both sides so they clean both top sides. I would not have a vac island in front or exit of bay so the rigs can make the turns in and out of the bay.

Randy after you blow down your lines with -32 fluid do you plug your hose line in the bay to keep the hose filled with -32 fluid or do you just leave the lines open. I was thinking about draining the chemicals back into the 5 gallon buckets and filling the tanks with -32 fluid, turning on the...

I would go with the picture menu. You don’t want customers slowing down your line because their reading your menu. As they say “ A picture is worth a 1,000 words”

Randy I totally agree.

If it’s an open bay and you only have one wall I would suggest installing a cat walk high enough so large trucks and Semi’s can spend more time($) cleaning the top of the rigs.

I agree with Greg. I bought one to try. I’ve moved it around to see where I liked it. I drilled a hole into the back of my in-wall vender, took out the middle spiral on the top shelf and placed it on the front of shelf. It covers the vender, changer, vacs and front driveway. It follows...

Built my first self serve in 1977. I’ve never sealed any of my self serves floors. Not saying I did the right thing but I have never had problems with the floors. Maintenance for the walls are another story though.

Good question. I’ve been thinking about using one for my “HOT” wax and one for the presoak arch but not sure if it will maintain hot with volume.

You might want to turn off the button so you don’t accept $20’s for a while.

A year ago I followed Earl’s suggestion and bought the water separator with auto dump that I attached to the air line coming out of the compressor. I also bought an air line like you use to fill tires that I attached after the separator with an off/on switch. When I have issues with a flow jet...

Many years ago I got hit for more than $1500 at one of my washes. Now I leave the door to the changer unlocked and open. I put $100-150 in each bin. Refill each morning to that amount unless it’s going to be a busy day then I fill it up more. Put a sign on the open door that says... Look up...
