One of the funademental points I was trying to make was in regards to this: >>RR: I know lots of exterior conveyor operators (express, flex) with average per car revenue greater than $10.00 (excludes other sources of revenue). $3.00 or $4.00 express is becoming thing of the past because of...

HK and Washme. Are you both at $3.00?

Did he share average ticket, figure? And does that include monthly revenue, so it's x revenue per month / # cars thru the tunnel? (As opposed to seperating out monthly wash revenue / volume. Also it seems monthlys were priced at about 5 x basic when it was $3.00 . Does that factor still apply...

Based on your examples above average extra service revenue was $1.50 -$2.00, not the $4.00 you alluded to earlier. Normalizing for COL anywhere in USA compared to El Segundo to increase this to $4.50 makes no sense. Throughout the midwest, even from Denver Past Chicago and other areas the Cost...

Only interested in Colemans - Thanks.

Knowing lots means little if it does not represent a real possibility. As i said, I don't have a national view. I was out in Denver and saw some higher priced EE's. In the Chicagoland market there have easily been 50 EEs with free vacs built (Many conversions from FS) all at $3.00 in the last...

Had a foam top brush started to look bad after a couple of years. After much attempts at cleaning it seemed the color was basicaly leaving the mateial leaving grayish black natural??? color behind. Finally replaced it. I would do the same for dirty foam. Let it soak in a barrel of cleaning...

I have red, Blue and Yellow. Asked other operators in the area who had them to find a company that recovered them. Awning companies can typically do it. Wasn't cheap. Red was no worse than others. All one color was much cheaper than having a seprate white band on them.

Don't know about easiest but if cloth is really dirty pull the material and throw in washer. Use Wheel Cleaner or Dawn. Sonetimes soaking overnight in this in a barrel will help.

I for one do not believe this for a second. Most observations, including mine are limited but it seems the vast majority of EE start at $3.00, then there seems to be a fair # at $4.00, and a few as high as $6.00. 1. It is not believable to think that with a $3-$4. average base the upgrades...

What brand ar the S N Vac and are they in working order? Vault type or coin Box?

14% may or may not be dismal. Many factors vary. I recall when NS opened a flagship location . They were disappointed in package upgrades but surprised by overall volume. IMO higher volume locations will have lower upgrade percentages. Factors such as % commercial drivers will affect...

Sorry to disagree. 1. Heaters are great BUT IF THEY FAIL or use lose power in freezing weather you will have an expensive problem. (Guess how I know) Winter formula is cheap insurance. 2. I bought spiral wrap hydraulic hose protectors and use them on the center 6 feet and this seems to help...

If you re furb them, contact me before you put them on e-bay. Not excited about making / setting vacs with vaults, but fo the right price!

Some years back I paid $5000.00 plus $1000 upgrade for bill acceptors and High security option.

Buy them all. Refurb and sell what you don't need. Bought used refurbs a while ago for $1750 each. Note, these are vault type so you will need the bases or have to buy vault bases. Few maintenance issues with the combos. For the price, after you see cost to get them working you may go all...

On vac island remove vac and canopy. See if truck can slide it sideways to break it free. Perhaps can also slide it up a flat bed tow truck. Not sure of best way / least damage to get that one open. Randy is the expert.

Worth it if you can Make good deal for island. Even if it has High security cover, with a little care you can get that off and defeat the t Handle lock. You can then repair or replace the high security cover and T Handle insert. First remove yellow canopy. If bolted down with 1/2" anchors a...

I bought and compared the KR version . Seems to do as well but doesn't have the banana tube. If you are into DIY seems you could fashion your own for a lot less than the price difference. Just got a TSS ad with a similar version but different applicator. Have not seen a Video of how that works yet.

Definitely not my experience. Contact surfaces are noticeably worn after 150K cars. This is the surface that contacts other conveyor surfaces as opposed to contact between chain links. Corrosion has little or no effect on this issue.
