I have 2 of the Airlift 016R1501 Replacement Valves. New, still in their original bag. Had them as spares when we had the Magna Glides and Power Glide openers. Switch all 12 doors over to the Airlift Vinyl Rollups and no longer need these parts. New from my distributor is $386 ea. I’ll sell...

I have 7ea of these 2 -1/2” Magnetic Wall / Ceiling Boom Positioning Devices. Mount the base on the ceiling, and the Puck on the boom and they work to center the booms when not in use. We use these on our Mosmatic Z Booms in our self serve bays. These 7 units have never been installed. They...

Selling these Sonny‘s pump stands. Used them to power the UBF on some PDQ Tandems because they didn't have that option when they first came out. 40 gallon tank, Cat 7CP6170 Pump, 3Ph 7.5HP Motor. Worked great for the years we had them. No longer needed because we upgraded both bays to...

I have a ShurVend Mini (rear load) vendor that I bought from Jim Holve back in 2008. It's worked great until recently when it keeps erring out. I think it's the main control board, but I have no idea who if anyone supports these units with parts, technical support. Any suggestions would be...

I had a long conversation with Harry Kozlovzky from NAYAX yesterday regarding their units. I relayed the feedback from one of my earlier posts, regarding the frustration operators had in dealing with their online tools and poor customer service. He explained that the company was aware of those...

I'm getting ready to make the purchase of new credit card readers (swipe, chip, & tap) for my 8 SS bays. I've been using the Mercury Payment System from Carolina Pride and its been great for 10+ years. Unfortunately they sold off the software to a company in Canada called Spiffy Wash Systems...

I own three sites, and the self-serve bays are all with Carolina Pride equipment. I purchased their PC based Mercury Car Wash Control system in 2008, which manages the meter / timers, handles the credit card transactions, and provides real time and periodic reporting of the activity. Reports...

I have my flights and hotel room booked. Was getting ready to purchase the admission tickets for the Car Wash Show but was talking with someone who said interest has been very low so far. Many people are going to hold off until the 2022 show in Nashville which will only be 5 months after this...

Our Access S Series units have swipe card readers, and we've been waiting patiently for PDQ to come out with upgrades to chip readers. I finally got a quote from my distributor and almost fell over. To upgrade 6 Access units will costs $88,000. OPW purchased ICS and that is who is now leading...

About a year ago I posted a complaint about the ShallCo 10 position / 2 stack rotary switches. They were only lasting about 6 months, and were seizing up. ShallCo was very good about replacing them under their 1yr warranty, but I asked what other operators were using. Most commented that...

We have a mixture of Airlift Magna Glides, and Power Glides (PG) in our IBA’s. They are all horizontal ceiling mounted units. This morning I got a call that an entrance door wouldn’t open all the way and stopped by to check it out. The Power Glide unit that was ~2yrs old had broken away from...

I have a 12yr old ShurVend “Mini” wall unit that I bought from Jim Holve. The MEI7000 coin acceptor is starting to give me problems with messages like ”Disabled By System.” There were no manuals that came with the machine, that allowed for troubleshooting. Does anyone know where I can call to...

I have a 1yr old RO unit from Ginsan, and the plastic endcaps on the membrane canisters keep leaking. They've been replaced once already, but they appear to crack where the brass nipples are screwed in. Has anyone ever found stainless or aluminum endcaps made by someone to replace these...

Does anyone have a solution for rebuilding a Magna Glide? I have 8 of them that the internal slide seals are shot and they won’t work. My distributor says Airlift sells new ones and refurbished ones, but doesn’t have a program where you can send yours in for repair and return. They will give...

Does anyone has any tips on rebuilding a Mosmatic Z-Boom. We have them in 8 Self Serve bays and a couple have worn out bearings. Bought the bearings from Mosmatic, but can't seem to figure out how to disassemble them in order to install the new bearings. Have taken them to a local machine...

I've been a regular customer of Carolina Pride, have invested in 3 of their self serve systems for different wash locations I own. They have good equipment, and for the most part require very little maintenance. Recently I noticed when buying CP specific parts from them, they tend to over...

We use Shallco Series 1610 - 10 position rotary switches in our self serve bays and have experienced a higher than normal rate of failure in the last year. One recently "locked up" after only being in use for 2 months. Shallco is very good about warranty returns, and replacements. I just...

I have 2 L-360's that are some of the early machines (Serial Number 00015 / 00016) and we have been having an issue with both bays not spraying presoak on the first pass. The arch will go around the vehicle but nothing is coming out. On the 2nd presoak pass there is never an issue. This has...

We have some eager investors who are proposing to open a new express tunnel in town with the flexibility to select touch vs. touch free. It's going to be a 70' conveyor with all of the bells and whistles but the one thing that caught me by surprise was when the owners told the local planning...

I have two Tandems at different locations. One is ~3yrs old, one is ~2yrs old. We started having a common issue with the LH Pump tripping the breaker on the back bridge. This pump mainly supports the solutions manifold as well as HP funtions in conjunction with the RH Pump. We have only been...
