    Enhanced Self Service?

    one of the great things about self serve is that all the customer expects you to do is keep great working equipment, quality and good quantity of chemicals, and a clean environment. from there they will handle the rest of the work while you do whatever you want. as i have owned a couple full...

    Lazy rednecks?

    the frustrating part of all these situations is that everyone thinks they are entitled to debate us over our common sense rules. is it so difficult for them just to say “sorry, i understand, won’t happen again”

    Blow down or weep?

    your right earl, doesn’t matter the temp as some will still try. which brings up a good point for new owners, be sure to turn off power to the bays as the entitled public feels it’s okay to move your cone and reopen your bay for you

    Ryko OHD strange noises

    I can’t figure out where the squeal is coming from, as it’s very sporadic. it will do it on the first to presoak‘s then not on the high pressure. And also it might be only on 1 out of 50 cars

    Mirror damage to an old car

    i wouldn’t! i had a lady pull out of my automatic with her rear bumper dragging the ground claiming the brushes ripped it off. i checked cameras and everything appeared fine on her old piece of crap SUV entering. i told her the only way it would come off in the wash was if it wasn’t attached...
