    @#$% Winter...

    mmurra I agree 100%. It also limits the exposure of getting hurt and frustration trying to fix everything that froze and broke in freezing weather. Since 1977 I can't remember how many times I slipped off a ladder that had ice on it.

    Wand On The Floor vs. In The Holster In Cold Weather

    I tried that years ago. Some butthead came in and pointed all the guns out the bay into my driveway. In the morning I had a freaking ice skating rink in my driveways. Next time I looped the hose and gun around the boom arm and aimed it into the pit. Next morning I had a mound of ice stuck on the...

    @#$% Winter...

    Little late but if you have a lot of freeze up damage see if you have "Businesss Interruption Insurance." New comers to our industry should make sure to have Business Interruption Insurance.

    @#$% Winter...

    Make sure you check the water flow to your farthest bays. Without the tips in you might have more water flowing out of the bays near your equipment room.

    @#$% Winter...

    I did that one year and all my pits froze up. Once the cold spell broke I got all my bays up and running. When the bays starting flooding I realized I had a problem, duh.

    Credit Card Fraud

    There is only so much discretionary income customers have to spend. It seems to me that due to this our car washes should be able to offer all modes of monetary acceptance possible to our customers if you can afford it.

    Whats your thoughts on adding bill acceptors to combo vacs?

    I'd check out Jim at Etowah Valley. He has a bill acceptor that you can install next to your vac that should work. I've had mine in my bays for at least 10 years with no problems. I think it's around $600-700, easy to install. That way if they would try to break into the bill ascceptor it...

    Mud grids - a solution?

    I think women with heels would not like that. Probably have all the metal grates stolen. No underground heat. People calling all the time because they dropped something into your pits.

    Mudders?

    Years ago I posted a yellow sandwich sign (2' x 4') between bays 1 & 2 stating that ALL mudders must use bays 1 & 2 only. For several weeks we made sure to inform all of them that came in and told them to clean those bays so the next mudder could use it. We explained that due to customer...

    High Velocity reusing reject water

    I would plumb my reject water into a tank (that also has a valve for city water) that is used only for your weep system. As stated above I would not use the reject water for any function in the wash, wax or rinse cycle for fear of contamination due to the high TDS.
