The plot thickens.

Big Leo earlier this month I ordered one of Jim's (Shurvend) machines that will hold snacks on the top shelf, auto accessories on the middle shelves and refrigerated soda,water,energy drinks on the bottom 2 shelves. After seeing his machines at the show I was convinced that having one machine...

Steve if the equipment co's. can come up with a viable solution to an online tire dressing applicator and the price comes down on the flat conveyor I agree with you. It's nice to see some new innovation in our industry.

There's one problem about them that I can see, you can't shine the tires online since the tires don't rotate.

Connect a bay hose to the pump directly to see if the hose going to the bay has deteriorated. Also swap out the pressure regulator with another bay if you don't have a spare. Make sure the tension on the belt pulley is right.

I put bill acceptors and c.c in the bays at one of my washes back in 2004. The nice thing about it is you don't have to carry around a lot of quarters to the bank anymore. Customers seem to love both of them. This last weekend my son and I were at our other wash and it was not to busy but when...

Pat what if the property by itself is worht more than 5 times gross? I've looked at self servs with one thing in mind, if or how can I add a small tunnel to the location? This changes the way I look at what a wash is worth. That said I sure don't want to pay to much.

mac, you have profits?

Go to the search and type in bonus time. You'll find many threads about the issue. It's all about getting the customer to jump up to $5 for the 4 FREE minutes they'll get from the $3.50 or so they were going to spend. For me it's worked great.

I installed 6 Ind. Vacs with shampoo/spot remover, 2 & 3 motor vacs with bonus time a few years ago. On my decal it shows the dollar/time breakdown for each use up to $4.00. There's a big yellow star burst at the $5 amount that says BONUS TIME RECEIVE 50% FREE TIME. Many people use it but not...

I had 6 Mars units that I had to send in to get fixed several times. When I got them back they would work for 1-2 months and then some of them would go bad again. Get them fixed and they would do the same thing again. What fixed the problem so far is the last time I sent them in the technician...

Keep us posted on the useage. I've been wanting to put them in too but have been hesitant because of the cost.

For me I needed to buy 1 gig Ram since my computer was older and needed more ram, another network card (I needed 2 network cards), and 50 ft. of Cat 5 line (so I could connect to another computer in my room that already had dsl and a router). Toatl cost was around $200. After I had all that I...

It had nothing to do with my bank. It has to do with Washgear and Visanet. You can call Washgear but my understanding was that Visa was changing over in the very near future to accepting dsl only and will not accept a dialup connection.

I clear through the bank but this has something to do with visanet I think and users with dialup vs. dsl. I think Jennifer said if I had a new system it wouldn't be an issue but my system is 4-5 yrs. old. If you just have a new system I don't think you will have the problem that I had.

I'm sure that the other cc companies probably do this too. I was having problems with what I thought was my computer that my cc are connected to. Because of the cc connection I didn't want to call someone in to try to fix it so I called Washgear. It ended up being my dialup modem. Because Visa...

What type of brush material do all of you use for your brushes? Do you use the same material throughout the wash or do you use different ones for different brushes or mitter? Why do you use this type of material?

If Indutrial Vac is out of business Bill might want to take off their advertisement in the upper left hand corner of this page, that says "click here."

BigLeo how many tubs do you have? How long have you had the dogwash? What kind of revenue can be generated per tub? Thanks

Thanks to Bill contacting Jim, Jim did my son and I a favor in Orlando to get us to the show. I too had never met Jim until Bills party in Orlando. I am not one to forget favors. So I will be ordering a Shurvend shortly but I'm not sure about using the whole 51 unit or getting it with the soda...
