    My first equipment strike

    Customer calls me today and says he needs a refund because the washer stopped on him. I go to reset the machine and notice he completely knocked the drivers side gantry off the track. Watching the video he was too close to the passenger side and the brush hit his truck. So he backed up while...

    questions to be asked to seller

    I would recommend having the tech/sales come to go over the equipment with you. I did that when I purchased mine and they were very helpful.

    Supposed To "Roll Over" Not "Attack"

    I have to believe there are cameras. If machinery failed and caused it pay up. If the car owner messed up. Post the video.

I was blown away when I found out the volume of cars that used this carwash in my small town, with competition from another in town. Young people, I'm not young, are looking for opportunities but are unaware of what is...

    A Study in Honesty & Human Behavior

    I have put out four pots for the last couple of years. So far so good. If they get vandalized I take the view that they gave some joy for a while. I'm on the main street of my small town. I feel an obligation to try and represent the town with some beauty. There's always some kid doing stupid...

    ChoiceWash Actuator replacement question

    It does appear I have a inline filter located in the carwash machine itself. Do these filters ever need to be replaced? I am assuming they are about 10 years old.

    Inbay automatic car wash space requirement

    I am new here so take my advice with a grain of salt. If getting new equipment. Make sure you have a good service provider. They have made a huge difference for me as I get up to speed and learn what I can and cannot repair.

    ChoiceWash Actuator replacement question

    I will look into the smc drain. Not sure if the gantry has one. I will check later. I paid 603 for the new part which included 50 for shipping. Also purchased the kit for 218, which included $30 for shipping. The soft touch actually uses the actuator about half as much as the softtouch option...

    ChoiceWash Actuator replacement question

    Keno, It lasted about 9,000 washes. The air does not have a cleaner or water remover in-line. Maybe I should add one. I replaced it without problems. Didn't even need to adjust rotation.

    To close the loop. In case anyone else runs into this. The part was not in the catalog, that I could find. The company did refer me to a distributor who will sell the part. I have heard this connection between the shaft and the spray bar can be hard to loosen. Any advice before the part gets...
