    AMS SlimGem vending machine

    The one to the left of the slim Gem is the refrigerated version of the shurvend. The only negatives is that you need some front protection, Lock protection, and Keypad protection. They need alot more protection for a carwash. Contact Shurvend and see if he could put an armor package on it...

    The ICA and reality

    In most cities it is illegal to have a septic system, so that doesn't sound right. Was the article followed by a reclaim ad?

    Drive Belt Price?

    Gates are good belts, will last longer than most. On a lawn tractor got a belt half price of the gates, only lasted half a season. The gates went ten years.

    Bird Deterant

    How about trying a bird house as far away from the building as possible, maybe they would actually use it. I did a websearch ,look at this links videos on sparrrows. The sparrows do not look like paid actors getting caught. http://www.sparrowtraps.net/

    Damage Claim~add my own labor in?

    The insurance co. may feel that they were satisfied with the repair due to the lapse in time, and if they are adding in a new repair, reject it completely. Let your ins. co. be the bad guy and try to stay out of it, let them take care of it . It shouldn't change your rates at all.

    Auto Vend Plus Electronic Vendor

    I love my 5 Shurvends, for outside a cage for protection will make it secure from just about everything. You may want to rethink the refrigerated part. I have 4 refrigerated, one non, I really like the ability to vend sodas. Not that much more $, but a little more hassle to stock the soda. Just...

    Request to provide video of a crash

    When someone gets hit from behind- its a pretty cut and dried problem- the one that hits someone from behind is always at fault in our state. For some reason they all need to prove a simple fact. As they stated it was an injury accident, I would provide it to an insurance company only. I would...

    Damage claim, what to do

    I think it is possible to have the wand fly out, during hunting season I had some one ziplock a trigger and when i came to wash it, I barely was able to catch the wand as it came out of the wand holder. I would turn it into the insurance . Its a new car and they always turn ugly, Who knows the...

    Mud - My New Policy: Version 7.22

    red i just looked up your wx on my ipods wx application, hard to believe that if i drove 1210 mi south its only 33 degrees outside. Not much nicer than my location. I was thinking we should all go on mini vacations and visit each other. If you came to fargo, you probably would go home thinking...

    Door Closes on car....

    As luck goes, if it happens to one , it will happen to the second one even sooner, and be more costly. In my case it didn't hurt the old truck, but i lost a door section. I removed the loop detector that shut the door and went to eyes on the door that turn the blower off and close the door but...

    Not taking Credit Cards.

    USA tech made a mistake by going with one carrier, we also have bad reception a couple of days a month with AT&T. If they could go to a different carrier, i could use it without an antenna. My cousin from florida has that carrier and works perfect in fla., and the phone was all but dead in our town.

    SS door size

    Most of my washes are 10x10. One has 4 8x10 AND 4 10x10 doors. The smaller door does let out less heat in the winter, they cost less, and large trucks can't get in with even more mud. only negative is guys with racks on the trucks aren't very smart and hit the building once on a while. I...

    Sudden Acceleration

    I think maybe the cars have too many electronics in them, and have too many possibilities for error. I bought a Nissan Altima Hybrid this fall. A fast (200hp), and 35mpg city car, and looks fairly neat. On ice- it takes control -no spinning of the tires, try and do a spin the vehicle stability...

    TSS Sign rehab

    Between all the IBA's i have about 12 vertical signs that say underbody - clearcaoat, spotfree. The signs lately have blown the Swedish bulb- TSS doesn't really seem to carry them, They say go to a local sign Co. I was tired of replacing the$45 flasher, now a $30 bulb, so We pulled the ballast...

    Humbled By 1 Week of Downtime!

    5 days isn't too bad. I think you have learned alot about your machine, and should be able to keep it going alot longer. Some give up early, and are ready to buy new machines right away. At least the pictures you emailed showed a good line up now. I would kill for some nice weather. It's been...

    Metal halide light issue

    About a third of the time it's just the capacitor($15-20), I just replaced a cap and transformer a couple of days ago. Sometimes they smell and it's obvious. This one overheated and had melted itself some and didn't smell. A $40 kit from 1000bulbs solved it now for probably 10 years. I think...

    UFC 89: Red Baron vs. Mudders

    Money is the language that should help (Cull the Herd). I have problems with mud in the spring and in the fall, but no problems for four months when the mud is frozen solid. That must be the only advantage to living where i do. Do you have a quarter start- So they can still make a bad mess for...

    Gearbox oil

    I am using Amsoil Synthetic in my vector. I had been using mobil 1 synthetic. I got hooked on synthetics for that and some small engines. Lawn tractor, mower etc. Also using the synthetics in my Large Cat pump.

    Kansas City Area Theft

    Nice equip. room, and good sized. I never thought of cameras in there. A blackberry is worthless without activation, so not much good to steal. On your poster put up a $$ amount reward in carwash tokens, you will have more responses with an incentive.
