I agree. That series of Mark VII ended in 2002, so some parts are hard to come by. I actually replaced three of them back in 2016. They were good in their day, but their day has past. I misread an earlier post and thought it was built in 2006. Myself, I wouldn't be afraid to install a used...

I can see why you are struggling with this. There is a Burger King directly across the street, and a Pizza Hut and Tim Horton's within sight. I don't think they built those places on a whim. One thing I would definitely change if I bought the place, would be to make the auto entry on the street...

Not a problem, just informing you so you could find a better place to get an answer for your question.

I doubt that you will get much of an answer here. This forum is for people that own/operate car wash facilities. It's not a DIY forum.

I agree, but the mental defects that break into car washes will think it is every day, not to mention the mountain of cash just left on a desk inside the equipment room. Lets face it, there can't be anything in there but a pressure washer and a bucket of soap, so all of the rest of that room is...

None, it doesn’t share the HP hose.

One solenoid in the equipment room is all I have ever seen. The LP functions that share the HP hose will need a check valve. Maybe someone used the redundant solenoid for a CV.

I figured they ran non-stop for about 20 hours. I actually got a call at 2:30 AM that one of them went down. When I got there that morning, the broken one had washed 195, the other 196. That led me to believe they finally petered out at about that time. Not long after that, we added a 3rd auto...

I once did 391 in side by side autos, WITH onboard dryers...now that was a crazy good day.

Definitely NO scrubbers. I had them on a Mark VII for many years. I was at a friends wash one day and noticed he had removed the brushes from his machine. He said he was tired of trying to keep them working and just removed them, and no one noticed. I did the same with mine, and in the two years...

After having a Washtec, I know that you may be soured on Mark VIIs, and probably rightfully so. I had a Wesumat softwash, and it was the most money hungry piece of crap I have ever owned. I hated having that bay down for 4 months after a customer crashed it out of service, but the upside was a...

Call Etowah Valley. I'll bet they will sell you the frame.

I'm amazed that didn't hurt that older gentleman washing down that bay.

It was bound to happen...

Nothing at all wrong with asking here, but you would get better response if you started your own thread about WW or jumped into an existing WW thread. Welcome to the forum. There are a lot of smart people here, and Randy and me too.

I like it. Another idea that someone brought up a while back was to just pre-authorize your start-up price, but set your max price at whatever. Face it, if they have 2-3 bucks in their account, they have 10. On the one in a hundred that don't, it would be worth it to lose that one sale to...

Paraplate is about as bad as it comes regarding comfort of use. The grip shape is nowhere near as comfortable as anything else, and the balance is crap, with the hose entering in front of your hand.

Me too.
