    M5 Abort - "Bridge Unable to Move"

    It's shucking and grooving alot after the arch turns. I think you are losing the prox signal when this happens.

    Lock stuck in paystation

    I ALMOST replied "...try using the right key" but I'm trying to be less 'smartassy'.

    Lock stuck in paystation

    I use a product called lock ease. I think it has powdered graphite in it. Works great.

    Selling the wash

    I would tell them no. It sounds like the Buyers are getting cold feet.

    When is it worth it to replace IBA?

    I think it's going to take as long as it takes to do properly and that rushing people is unwise if you want a quality installation. I shut my automatic down in February 2021. I started testing cars in my new razor on December 21. I remodeled the bay completely and the result is outstanding. If...

    When is it worth it to replace IBA?

    I just replaced a 15 year old touchless with a Razor. I'm going to put it simply; yes. Install a new Razor. The throughput, price increase and lower maintenance should more than cover the payment. People love new so be sure to raise your price enough. I went from 10,12,13,15 to16,18,20,22...

    Offering one service instead of three?

    Most of my customers either want the full detail or just the interior. Each package is priced to make a decent profit. The customer gets a slightly better deal for themselves if they choose the full detail.

    XRS Door error

    Maybe one of the bearings you greased is going bad. I've had bearings binding up do all kinds of crazy things to the wash process. May be greasing the heck out of it made it better for a while but if it's a bad bearing maybe that's causing a binding problem.

    Bad reviews/entitled customers

    I have had the opinion in the past that Trash Removel is just a normal part of business when you have a car wash and that I would always leave the trash cans out. However in the past year or so I have had such a big problem with people dumping excess garbage that I have been removing The...

    Free Vacs for SS only?

    also just think of the profitability of a vacuum. It needs very little repair. Clean out once a week, a new motor once a year, a new hose once a year, new nozzles whenever they break them. And then all that's required is electricity to run it. The profit is very good. Why give that up?

    Cryptopay is TRASH

    I had the opposite experience with crypto pay I think it's awesome. Yes sometimes people have trouble swiping the cards. However I can almost always get it to work even when they can't. Many times the card is dirty and worn out cracked broken or even missing part of the magnetic stripe.

    Free Vacs for SS only?

    I know you want to hear from people that have done this but I have not. I have to say that I would never ever want to give up the vacuum revenue. I charge two dollars for vacuums and three dollars to start the bays. I just can't see how letting people use your vacuums for free can increase your...

    Airlift XRS doors?

    I just had two doors installed in December. I love them. They are such a huge improvement over my old metal insulated garage doors. The operation is smooth and fast. My motors were installed on the outside of the building. My controls are inside the bay and I plan to wrap them with some plastic...

    Building a new in bay automatic car wash

    When I did my original cash flow projections I used 3/10 of one percent of the daily traffic count. Multiply daily traffic count times .003.

    Damaged Convertible Top

    I'm very sorry for your loss. I would think that a 12 year old fabric top on any vehicle is prone to normal wear and tear. The sun and weather cause the top fabric to degrade over time. Where the vehicle is parked regularly can have a big affect on longevity and durability of the material. My...
