    My first question would be why is nothing salvageable. It may not be - just wondering.

    Poor drying results in tunnel

    Tough to analyze from a distance but here goes. Without even looking at what the dryers / Blowers are dolng I would watch to see if the DA seems to do it's job. Does the water "break" - seem to flow off the car after the DA is applied? With DA sometimes too much of a good thing is bad. Is...

    LED light bar source

    The TSS one is 6 ft. The others are 21" and 39" respctively, plus the first has a 12 V DC requirement. Always wondered why our industry did not use more 12V DC stuff in the tunnel so mwe could use all sorts of stuff , especialy lighting from the auto industry.

    parking in wash bay and not moving. any ideals

    Laws vary from place to place, but in most places of private business customers are invitees. As long as you don't violate discrimination laws you have the right to revoke the "Invitation" by telling them that they need to leave. (As posted earlier people resist when told what to do.) I have...

    parking in wash bay and not moving. any ideals

    Found a long time ago people don't like being TOLD what to do. First thing I do is sya "Hi, how are you..." Then I say "It's really busy and people are waiting. I would appreciate it if you could move your car asnd dry it over there. On a slow day wit no one waiting it would be OK for you to...

    Air Machine

    Like most things - Time will tell. I think cashless will replace coins long before such a switchover takes place. Get back to me in 2020.

    Air Machine

    I don't know if there would be an up carge or how much. If you tink about it the load on the compressor is low. This is especialy true if you use a cuck that does not hold pressure. Then it only runs 4 minutes at a time. If the Upcharge is more than $200 or so I would go with the less...

    Blendco prices

    I don't think scrimping has anything to do with it. I am suggesting that by trying other suppliers. He may save the 20K and get the same results. So by almost doubling his bottom line with little effort. Order- Pay, Hookup solution and observe it's not a worthwhile effort? BTW, was a t a...

    Blendco prices

    Now for another opinion. Higher price may mean losing volume to competition who worries about dimes or even nickels and can make money at a lower price. Forget dimes, How about nickels. Basic Tunnel wash may include pre soak, Soap, Wheel Cleaner and drying agent. Let's say you save 5 Cents...

    Credit Card Usage Update

    IMO all of the above. No way I can substantiate that CC use was not just a switch from money. I really think that CC users would not spend less than cash users and the extra is at least enough (but more than likely a lot more than enough) to pay the extra transaction cost and equipment cost.

    Credit Card Usage Update

    I am in a Chicago suburb. Last time I checked that was in the Midwest. Installed Cryptopay in 4 of 8 bays three years ago. After a year I put it in the other 4 bays. Usage increae was slow but steady. A few good months paid for the system.

    Yes but... it has an IR receiver. Don't know if it will work thru the metal cabinet. I doubt it. HAve not tried it or perhaps thru the lexan if mounted correctly.

    KR Machine Shampoo

    FWIW The old style strainer with a M x F Fitting was no longer available got a strainer with 1/4" male fittings and did some retrofitting which wasn't terrible since I could rearrange existing fittings. Then I figured out I could just slap the plastic cover from the od one on the new one.
