    Autonomous headaches

    With some cars now having autonomous breaking, and rain sensing wipers, anyone add wording to signage or additional signage? Have had 2 issues apparently where rain sensing wipers came on and the wiper was damaged. I declined to accept responsibility. Thinking of a sign that says something...

    Unlimited Monthly

    A while back it seemed the unlimited price was 3 - 4 x the basic wash. A quick search now reveals one $3.00 wash at $15.00 and the rest closer to $20.00. Can't help but wonder if the lower price was an enticement for a new program to get people enrolled and then slowly ratchet it up or if the...

    Unlimited Monthly

    Obviously I have no frst hand experience. From what I have read, for a $3.00 Express wash the $19.99 / mo seems high. AVerage reports are 3-4 x the base. Even at 4 x the base it would seem that customers would fall off the program if they realized useage averaged less than the multiple. (Maybe...

    Unlimited Monthly

    How does it affect the average revenue per car. One would think that unless them monthly customer would wash frequently enough to lower the cost below what the regular price would be they would fall off the program.

    Jarvis 320W Scottsdale retrofit LED

    When I replaced fixtures in my Tunnel I went with these: https://www.kleen-ritecorp.com/p-40744-lsi-legacy-surface-mount-led-light.aspx, At 150 W They are much brighter than the 320W Scottsdales. These are $451 at Kleen Rite, but you can get the 114W version for $365. It's basically a...

    Hot Wax or Super Sealant?

    IMO the marketing value is paramount. I don't think most industry brands of Super Sealant carry much value. I think "How Wax" still has marketing Value as does "Rain X"

    No substitute for luck

    The pre cast was not deteriorated. My other pre cast buildings have the precast on top of a masonry wall or on top of an I beam. This place had a steel angle welded to the I Beam and then precast sat on the angle. The failure was where the angle attached to the I Beam. No deterioration was...

    See video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3va41zoxKnU I am the person on the right. 30 feet of precast ceiling came down without warning. No people or cars in the tunnel. My employee and I had been in there a few minutes earlier. Cars had just gone thru. We were looking at the entrance...

    New property revenue concerns! Ideas!

    What about locks on the meter box doors? Have you changed those? I have also bought some Abus type locks at Keymart. Much cheaper and perhaps keys not as widely circulated. Much less expensive as well. One difference, out of 100 in service I don't think i ever had an Abus fail. I have had 3...

    Cryptopay, First Data, and PCI compliance
