    Hyd Motor

    Usualy I go to one of the well known car wash catalog houses for hydraulic motors . Even factoring shipping they were 20% cheaper than local people. Just checked on a motor. The catalog house wanted $285.00 and the local guy $235.00. (Really, like exactly $50.00) So, you need to not get...

    Credit card or Bill acceptors

    I think the $250.00 was from a 2009 Post. I just Checked the cryptopay site and the swipers are now $365.00 each and the accumulater (1 will handle I think 16 swipers but I am not usre - please check) is $365.00. Don't regret adding bill acceptors. I think my quarter revenue dropped by 50%...

    Credit card or Bill acceptors

    You could run a piece of conduit from the current bay Box to the acceptor box putting it closer to the door. Above the conduit would be a sign & arrow indicating where the acceptor box was.

    Soft Cloth Replacement

    Leasing equipment

    IMNSHO one of the biggest reasons for the nations mortgage mess. No one cared about the total cost over time. Only what it cost per month.

    Leasing equipment

    OK , color me confused. I agreee that the cost of Capital for leasing is higher than the cost of capital; for a loan. I have no idea how this changes ("This holds true unless") when "the new machine has lower operating cost, produces more cars and hour or increases average revenue per car."...

    Leasing equipment

    For some leases you need to exercise extreme caution. As a disguised financing vehicle the stuff is not lease from the mfgr but from a third party who buys the stuff and leases it to you. That third party is not responsible for warranties or quality of material. If it turns out to be junk or te...

    Disclaimer signs.

    Bud, As with many things. It's not a question of can you do it, but how much will it cost to do it. If you want to put out a car every 30 seconds, you would need a lot of costly labor to thoroughly inspect each one, note issues and notify the customer. it's not practical in an EE situation...

    Sorry, Bud, that dog won't hunt. First and foremost with some auto cashiers some tunnels now run unattended. Secondly, many with auto cashiers run with a single loader. There is no way they can walk completely around and inspect a car a get good production out. Thirdly, you won't see...

    Have had that issue with wheel brush zerks. Sometimes it matters if you mount a replacement bearing with the fitting up or down or even not in plce. Use a plug and put in the fitting to grease it.

    Exactly what wording is used for the 10+ year old vehicle disclaimer? Any issues with the math when a customer says it's not 10 years Old?

    Pit Mud

    I think part of the issue is that no one knows for sure what's in it unless a specific load is tested. Testing is prohibitively costly versus the cost of proper disposal. I think ICA did some studies and testing. It always came up clear for any hazardous material within EPA regs. A typical...

    Modifying equipment

    Funny, on my whip across I made the cloth longer! I always felt 90% of the mitter cleaning was from vehicle travel. I think the longer length cus down on the slapping. I need to have some shorter due to lower detail brushes mounted on the end of one mitter and longer cloth gets wrapped up in...
