I am very sorry for your loss. We are all here for you in our own way.

how much damage was caused? $250? $500? $1000? I'd start there. All car washes should have a good working relationship with a body shop or two.

$4500 for a light bridge kit??? you must be kidding.

hello! my iba wash has free standing blowers outside the bay that the customer drives under after the car wash. recently i blew the fuse for the oscillate motor / gearbox. i replaced the fuse and got it working. i thought maybe it got cold etc and was froze up. more recently, the wash sat...

that's what i do. i only dispense the dollar tokens and accept tokens, quarters, cc in bays. tokens and quarters in vacs and everything in auto cashier. seems to work out well for me.

i installed my spare XE validator and it wouldn't accept tokenotes. normally this wouldn't stress me out too much but with the busy days and line-ups at the auto wash it gets tricky to re program the cashier! luckily, the tech support from Hamilton MFG. is top notch!!! The tech walked me...

what does mark 7 say? seems you should be able to get tech support from them?

i've been thinking the same idea for my side trac 700. i think a 12vdc l.e.d. that is colored and bright would work well. i saw what the new WW Razors have for the lava arch and it looks like 3 pink led's. on mine i'd somehow wire it into the foam relay or pedestal sign for foam polish. not...
