Duke and Randy--I can't agree more . You would think i sell tokens, but the smartest thing i've done at the wash is convert to $1 High security tokens. The customers love it and the desperados don't want tokens, every carwash that tries them will not be sorry. Also the electronic acceptors...

Our state it is really easy to get a sales tax permit, I let the accountant do the paperwork on sending it in. You can also get an exemption permit to not pay the tax at your sams club, as that would be double taxation. In the state of Minnesota, I pay sales tax on every $1 taken in-- at 6.875%...

we are able to run touchfree to -5 most of the time unless it is really windy. When it comes to heat costs 2 yrs ago N.gas was double in price- when gasoline was $4. If you run the boiler too cool- much under 140 i think it has too much condensation- and supposedly rusts it out quicker. Maybe...

I am 200 mi east of you, and the last few years winter has been alot of work, lots of snow, I think you get alot less snow than us. The business is generally better in the fall. January can be, but hasn't been for 10yrs the best month of the year. Such cold and snow it has been the worst month...

If you don't know any german remember this " Noch ein Bier bitte!" -- One beer please! Can't wait to see the pictures!!! John

Changing is a nightmare--Just going thru it.. I also didn't see them that expensive unless you got a hologram- and then it was .84$. If you have all IDX acceptors though- adding another token is pretty easy to program in. I just bought 12K tokens from Vanbrook for .295 a piece. Your tokens are...

Bob and Randy are right -We do have high unemployment, poor economy, and it probably will get worse--Not a pessimist, Just positive Obama can't help. This is the reason to stick out from the crowd--Steal some customers from other washes-- put them under during these tough times and make some...

What kind of innovation would you like that is not currently on the market, and would we , or the customer find it valuable. Fun may not be what people are looking for at a car wash, although they do want it to be a good experience. They say sometimes a rebranding will help with business along...

This could be a seinfeld episode if it was the old woman on oxygen that was the cause of doug's closing.

Probably not air-if you have gravity feed there would be a leak. Maybe a solenoid isn't opening quick enough to let water flow when pump starts.

I am going. It was really a good time 2 yrs ago. I hope no one else goes-- I'll have a better chance at all the prizes.

Labor day was windy 35mph, and 2.5 inches of rain. but the week leading up was ok. We are also down 9% for the year . We have had alot of rain almost 6weeks of rain this summer and too many days of snow this spring. One of a car washes variables that we have no control over. gas is low at $2.46...

I am in a very harsh climate, and had one exhaust fan. It brought in such cold air it produced Cold air fog which seemed alot denser than warm air fog and overspray. We bought some Hog barn fans(Ceiling Fans-Waterproof) that blow the air down into the concrete and condense it. Seems to work...

I am not sure they would mount bullet cameras in there as that could be pretty large. My WS2 has a small board camera that is really good and is smaller than a bullet cam. Car wash cameras has an autocashier model, or find a small board camera if the controller has a window...

I just went to $2 for 3 minutes-- no complaints for the quarter increase as I switched the changer to $1 tokens. Very easy to start a wash now, Most love it. I did get a call from one guy calling me all the bad names, as he had put in a $20 and got tokens , and he wanted laundry money. I do have...

I took off the security bar after too much damage after a break in. Took off adams .25 lock and put on a medeco--not great--Just can't be picked with a wet noodle. I figured the few times anyone would want to break in -very little damage would occur. I am converting all my vacs over to IDX...

I have had similar problems , but with 36 bays i do get guns that wear out and we save the housing . Sometimes the screws have rusted enough it is impossible to open. The housing really should be available.

Shield x by kr is also a product i like better than Rain X at 1/3 the cost. Probably is either a somoniz or JBS product. I also like blendcos protectant better than the X.

We have a VHF Motorola Repeater- that is located at a local TV tower. We have vertex mobiles at every wash, with the changer alarms hooked to them. We also have vertex portables. With our own license it gives us a clear channel radius of 30-40 miles. Most of the radios including handhelds are...

I have 36 palomas without any type of storage, and things work well without any storage. Is it necessary for you is hard to tell--They were perhaps trying to have instant hot water for the automatic wash. It may work just as well without the storage.
