We had punch cards that were 10 washes get 1 free. Very popular. Problem was control with employee theft. So we fazed it out and told our customers that we were having to much fraudulent use by customers trying to stamp them with different stamps. We told them that we had a new program that...

I have the same problem. I'm thinking about using this http://www.uline.com/BL_590/Flexible-Posts or http://www.globalindustrial.com/g/outdoor-grounds-maintenance/parking-lot/traffic-control/42-high-reflective-delineator-post to form an entrance and exit lanes in a lazy "S" line to slow...

Waxman I would find out if there is a weight difference in the panel vs. window and if your motor can raise in the door with the weight differences.

At my oldest wash I had vacs in front of all the bays and I had put a couple perimeter vacs around the exit. I had no lost vac income from the vacs in front of the bays and the perimter vacs, which were turbo vacs with 2 price points-$1.00 for 2 motors and $1.25 for 3 motor did phenomonal. It...

Why not just drop or send it to Coinco in St. Louis to get it fixed. St. Louis Service Center T (314) 725-0100 Coin Acceptors, Inc. 300 Hunter Avenue St. Louis, MO 63124-2013

Some things never change just get A LOT worse. Back before cell phones I remember my customers telling me at the wash that they tried to call but it was busy. So I added 2 landlines to our washes (1 phone number that flipped over to another line when first one was in use) so my customers could...

For the grand opening offer 2 months of unlimted washes for the price of 1 month. That way when it's time to renew you already have their info at the pay station and it's should be an easy sale. I've known operators that have had success offering the basic wash free for the first week and one...

Why not hook up a line with a gun to the pump directly in the equipment room and see if works.

Back in the late 60's and early 70's came the exterior car wash craze with reduced wash prices (usually $1-$3) or a free wash with a fillup by major oil companies. These washes used a very small foot print for the wash building and equipment, meaning cheaper to build and equip. around...

My experience is that a lot of customers, other than kids for their own reasons, don't like the scents in their car. My real question is WHY our industry feels like we have to give something or service away FREE just to get customers to come in. Free vacs, towels, scent, window cleaner, etc. How...

I had the same problem. I agree with Randy. After I reprogrammed it I closed the spring loaded door and used gray tape to keep it tight. Still working.

When I had an IBA I had my system purge for 30 seconds on, off, on for 5 times. Then it went on and off for 15 seconds for 5 more times. I did not use any kind of methanol or wiper fluid at time but it did not freeze. You might want to try this. Maybe if you can inject either fluids in your last...

Try PB Blaster before you try to drill it out. It has worked for me. Much better than WD 40. You can get it at Lowes or Home depot. Here's a link from Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=pb+blaster&tag=mh0b-20&index=aps&hvadid=3527166656&ref=pd_sl_6a2y8yq478_e

I too agree with Randy. But why not try mixing 2/3 windshield washer fluid to 1/3 fb soap as your regular fb soap. Maybe this would help your system from freezing when it purges before switching over to methanol soap. Just a thought.

I would make the island nothing but Little Trees. Advertise it as Little Tree Island. I have a large refg. Shurvend but I think a vendor or island that was by itself selling L.T.'s would be a winner. I wish Laurel would make a vendor that vended 15-20 Little Trees. Over the years on this blog...

I cut off the hanger part on top of the larger packets, Oziums, Refresh. You might have to trim Armorall and others to get them to work.

Make sense. How about DS front push?

Does anyone have a passenger side conveyor? Or does anyone have front driver side wheel pull? If so any issues with either?

Have someone turn on the soap in the bay, keep the bay gun trigger pulled constantly to get high pressure. While the trigger is being pulled go inside and slowly turn the water (probably Hot) solenoid to the bay closed. The pump will start to starve for water and vibrate roughly. Let the pump...
