I have that same changer. I was having occasional dispensing issues when a $20 was inserted and $5 were to be dispensed. Turned out it was 2 faulty/dried out/cracked wheels that feed the $5 bills from the hopper. $80 and $.05 rubber wheels later, and the machine is running flawlessly. A LOT...

What is the difference/preference between the grey/blue ones and these: Seems like my chem dist set up my wash using the above, and they seem fine, although I've found a few with faulty check valves. How critical is the function of the check valve function?

Meh - Most of the cameras on the site you mentioned are cheap junk. Some look like re-branded Dahua's, which aren't too bad, Look into Nellys Security also - they have GREAT customer support.

Didn't know that. My foam is weak - who knows when, if ever they were maintained. Guess I'm gonna go up into the trough and take a peek. Thanks for the info!

If you're set on a box store package, I'd look at either the Swann or Q-See on Costco. Re-branded Hikvision stuff.

Do you just stuff the steel scrubbers into the old assy?

Just a WAG but maybe because Cree's are what - $300-$400/ea?

As a newbie to the car wash business, but being in business since I was 18, I'd say: Add CC definitely - 70% of my sales are CC Build a towel station - My customers absolutely love it. Consider lowering your prices - People look at the $$ amount.

Edited my post - $22.5K

WOAH. $55K for that sign. I got an estimate, granted from a sign guy who he and I hit it off when we met on other interests, a 5' x 10' Daktronics On a poured slab, built up with a stone veneer/stucco base to mimic my building, and with either a illuminated LED sign above with my...

That 24/7 constant messaging at my POS of the display is what is appealing. Although my area goes pretty much silent after about 6/7pm as this place is a bedroom community. Did you buy a Daktronics?

Sounds like a good idea. How do you adjust the price of the discounted wash - is your was a tunnel and/or staffed all day?

Thanks! Your station pics inspired me to offer the service! I was considering buying a station from a hotel supply place, but they wanted $1,000+ for their composite units. After my first one got stolen, I have my PTZ zoomed in on the station. Plus I have a dedicated license plate capture...

Same here, although I buy their detergent "brew".

Yes. I scrubbed and waxed my Softgloss XS yesterday. How often do you replace the nozzles?

Yes. Once in a while ( maybe 3x this year) I'll have someone on a hot day drying a car in the bay and if there are people waiting, I'll ask them to let the customer pull in. On slower days, I let them be. 3 BR/1BA apartment. It's nicer than my house, but I couldn't convince my wife to move...

Thanks! loewen - I ordered 200 from ERCwipe. As of last count, I think I've had 2 walk in 6 months. Although softer, I'm not sure the ERC towels are much more absorbent than the white ones I bought from Sam's. Here are a few pics of the rest of my wash, along with the first attempt at a...

My first one was stolen. It was just a Sam's club wheeled cart with the clean towels on the top and clear rubbermaid bins on the bottom for the used ones. My subsequent one I wasn't happy with the way it turned out. It was just a outdoor/yard storage bin with holes cut on the top to retrieve...

I know this has been asked before, but the advertising industry and technology associated with it evolves rapidly. I've been open for a year now, and am looking to spend some money to perhaps accelerate the growth and get more, new customers. I'm considering: 1. Digital Display - I'm on a...

Who did you deal with at WashCard? I had some issues a while back, and Eli and Tim were absolutely wonderful in resolving the few issues I was experiencing.
