    New Bucket Washing Tactic Observed

    I've seen that many times-- I'm Not sure if you guys know what a snow brush is, but i've seen many customers dip it thru the grate into the pit water to wash the car, and why do they still have it in the car in the summer.

    Fighting City Hall

    I don't know what a well costs, but would reclaim be a solution? Would that would keep city inspectors, and the fire dept inspectors off your back? In our area a well is restricted, but the real problems with a well outside of our city is the hardness, lots of iron, and wells within a mile of...

    Stringing in Dallas

    I have never had a stringing problem, but have $1 high security tokens on order, you need to convert to tokens to eliminate this theft and vandalism. This should help eliminate most of the stringing or breakin problems. It would also give you the ability to give bonus tokens for larger $...

    Menus

    Could they all be right?? I copied more after disney and made mine more colorful like the Dolphin-- The Whale--and The Super Whale. To label after the Olympic medals seems fine also. I probably would much rather use 123 than good -better-Best.

    clogged drains

    All my bays are connected, so in an 8 bay--They would all drain into #5, so the dirt settles along the way till it gets to the middle. All water used goes into that pit--all have 3" pvc connecting them, so it takes alot to clog. Then from that bay we have a 3' x 5' and 4'deep pit next to the #5...

    clogged drains

    I don't think i have called a plumber ever in 20 yrs for a clog, we use bay hoses to snake them out, if bad we put a fitting on end with a zero degree nozzle, and let it rip.

    ShurVend Vending Sales---Again

    The number of vends is awesome, But the dollar amount is less than the number of vends, If he had put more 1-2$ items he could have averaged Probably $1.25 per vend and had $240K . Sorry to rain on the parade. I think it is smart to add a second vendor, it won't double your income but the...

    Damage Claim Coming - Suggestions!

    Just keep it professional and tell her to have the insurance co. call you, and you can explain it the same way. If she was older than 65- you can request in our state after an accident, that they be retested for their license.

    Waterless Washing and Scratching

    If the car has to be fairly clean -- why not save the money(For Waterless) and just use a little water on a towel to clean the car, it probably emulsifies almost better as we haven't seen any data that shows it actually works.

    bay shutting off

    Is this happening to the foam brush also or just the High pressure. If also the brush --it sounds like a timer is weak on switching, or low voltage to the timer somehow as you said you switched out lids. If just the high pressure it sounds like a problem with the motor starter.

    Waterless Washing and Scratching

    I can't believe people would like that kind of washing--from what i've seen it has an great ability to attract dust. Must have some sort of oil in it. Only good if the car isn't dirty. To me the water you save --gets used on tons of microfiber towels. What a great savings???

    Kleen-View Vending machine

    I am probably biased, as in the last 2 yrs I've bought five refrigerated shurvends. But with out guaranteed delivery, I would be getting calls all the time about stolen money. My first vendor paid for itself in 7 months. It is absolutely amazing at the vast array of different items people will...

    Dultmeier W/Etowah CC Combo??

    I have A-Oks 25 yr old boxes- so small they can't be retrofitted, and not really even enough room for CC reader. I figured the new boxes would take bills and CC, so might take in a few more $$. They had their boxes at Ica and I liked the way they were designed. I put the links to the two. I am...
