Hi All, I operate multiple self serve washes, and have been thinking of setting up a dedicated pickup truck to service them. I was thinking to equip it with things like a lift gate, utility boxes to organize parts and tools, and some kind of rack that would allow you to stand on it to service...

Hello, I have Futura(who is out of business) self serve equipment. It's the pump stand that has individual grey plastic water tanks for each bay pump. I need to find replacement float valves for these tanks. Does anyone have a part # and or source for these? I assume that Futura just...

Hello, I am rehabbing a watch with a bunch of used equipment I picked up. Unfortunately, I didn't get any keys for the vacs. I was hoping someone could share some advise on getting a disk lock open on a Fragramatics shampoo vac. It's the vault lock, so all you can see, or have access...

Hello All, I have had a strange problem that has occurred several times over the last year that I can't figure out. I get to the wash in the morning, and several of the bays don't have any pressure, and maybe one is pulsating heavily, and a couple working properly. Then, after a few...

Hello, Last night some idiot stole my drain grates from my car wash, including the main pit, which left about a 3 foot square open hole. By the time I got there, a total of 3 cars had driven in and got stuck. Two of these were damaged. One couple was very angry and were talking lawsuits...

Hello, I just took over another old self serve location, and this one has block walls, which have never been painted. I have one bay which has a a bunch of graffiti that I need to take care of. I am hoping to find a way to clean this wall, rather than just painting over it. The second...
