My competitor about 3 miles away has one. Seems to be pretty busy. I also see the biggest piles of mud there when I drive past on my way to my wash. I went in one day to wash and check his prices, and saw a guy cleaning a full sized Komatsu Payloader. Left probably 100lbs of mud with grease...

That's what it was - the solenoid for the front return. Luckily I had a spare and am back in business! Thanks

Hi guys - I've got my first issue with one of my IBA since I've opened, and I need some help. I have a Softgloss that while washing, the front side brushes aren't returning to the sides and the top brush is dropping down upon them and the wash, for lack of a better word, "just sits" and appears...

What was the offer? A free top wash, discount, etc?

Did you collateralize another wash?

You might be better off setting up a dedicated plate camera at the entrance/exit to pick plates as people enter & leave.

Don't remember what you paid for your system, but this one for $1299 at Costco would've been a great system. You can't even compare the 2 systems. http://www.costco.com/Q-See-16-Channel-HD-IP-NVR-with-3TB-HDD%2c-8-4MP-Cameras-with-100'-Night-Vision.product.100213199.html

I used Wells Fargo on my wash. It was traumatic to say the least. Next time, I'd find a local bank

I have a stand alone tire machine. I think I've made $8.00 on it since I opened end of July.

Still undecided as of this point, but I'm leaning heavily towards purchasing a large LED digital display. It'll be facing an intersection which flows approx. 32,000 cpd in all directions. I feel given the nature of our business being pretty much an impulse purchase, I feel that interacting...

Looks like it gets the job done!

Please do. From what I've read on the various forums, those are top notch with noticeably better dark/low light performance. The system I'm building out is likely based around those, unless I go with a HD-CVI system ( HD cameras over Coax cables for those that are unfamiliar).

Not sure I understand your question. You're comparing a camera(IP) vs. a recording device(analog).

Another thing to consider is that with the tinted dome, not only can't they move the lens, it's also hard for someone to know exactly which direction its pointing.

Haha. I guess I'm a bit sensitized to the prices as I'm looking at $3500-$8000 to upgrade my current analog system to an quality IP system with 16 cameras. $200 or less?!? You'd be lucky to get a halfway decent still photography camera for that price. If your looking for a quality CCTV system...

Thanks guys for the advice! We did a grand re-opening about 2 months ago. Advertised it for about a week, and had the radio station onsite live giving away free stuff along with free washes on my 2 autos. Was a pretty good turnout - think we washed almost 500 cars that day, but when...

Costco. Look at the Swann, Lorex or Q-See. Q-Ser and Lorex are rebranded Dahua, and Swann is rebranded Hikvision - the two largest manufacturers in the game. Go do some reading at cctvforums and IPcamtalk ETA: This is a pretty good system/deal. Plus Costco's excellent return policy...

I've been having a issue with some CAT 5CP2120W pumps on my SS side. When a customer comes in, they'll insert their money, appears to gran the gun while pulling in the trigger, and then selecting either HP soap or Pre Soak. Once they do that, and the pump begins to run, it struggles to build...

I've owned my wash for about 6 months. Prior to that, it was closed down for about a year. I've gotten most of the major kinks worked out ( Thanks WashCard! ) and am looking to build the business. I'm looking to accomplish 2 things, and they are: 1. Advertise on some form of media. I...

Just curious, and I know there's a lot of variables at play, but what would you estimate it would cost to change over a modern 4/2 to Flex-Service?
