    you are giving way too much credibility to sights like yelp and customers who post negative comments. focus your energy on running the wash in a first rate way and let the social media stuff be whatever it is. if you doubt my advice, read thru facebook for 20 min. and see the level of...

    most times people only comment when it is a complaint. if they like you they will rarely go out of their way to post it. i had a guy buy a used car from me and then proceed to troll out and flame me hard core when his car needed repairs (after the warranty period) and i refused to pay. i...

    a joyful noise

    a joyful noise in a car wash is when: small and large cat pumps, flojet pumps, air compressor, and booster pumps and gas furnaces are running in unison. and your earplugs are in your ears.

    Time to enjoy life

    maybe get a price to remove building and equipment and use that as a point in calculating asking price. you're smart so you probably already know this.

    Low Water Pressure

    this is how i'd troubleshoot this: 1. check hose spigots etc to be sure water pressure inside car wash is okay. 2. if yes, you need to follow the cold water feed from its source (water line comes in building and branches off to several places). 3. check your ball valves coming from main...

    Rewarding Top Customers

    Futura millennium tripping out

    sometimes there is a chiclet type relay that controls solenoids. look at your wiring diagram for the machine. mine (superior side tRAC) are located on input and output cards in the plc and some in the gantry panel on my touchless. my thinking is that of you removed the chiclet relay for the...

    IN bay friction machines

    i can agree that all automated machinery can be dangerous. personally i would not operate a friction machine un staffed. however, to be fair, i have only operated touch free. in my mind the rotary action of friction equipment must be logically more dangerous than an inverted L spraying hp...
