Laser wash 360+ winter issues.

[Tball828]

I have multiple 360s that I take care of in my area. All of them are workhorses but just as soon as the temperature starts dropping there is a site with 2 and neither of them will run consistently. All of which are subject to the same weather/temperature (no doors). The owner of the site usually will get them running after spending some time on them, but this is the second winter they have been absolutely horrible. From March to December they will run inspection to inspection. Just curious if anyone has had a similar issue as this? Thanks

What kind of issues are you seeing? My Sonics get a little more picky in the cold. I had a bridge prox get a little goofy in the cold wind last night, but once it warmed up, good to go.

Around those same issues.. today was q2 prox and bridge lost position which makes since if there is an issue with q2. The other bay right beside it ran like a top. I’m going to go in the morning and check prox cables and proxes just in case (q1&q2). This owner is an extremely good client it just sucks this issues seems to be a reoccurring issue tied to the weather.

sounds like it's time to bite the bullet and buy some doors! There's so much money to be made in the cold winter months that I don't understand why you would not install some nice mechanical air lift vinyl rollup doors…

I love mine and they were definitely a welcome change from the old heavy metal insulated doors I had previously. It really changes your outlook on the car wash business when you don't have to constantly repair a broken automatic.

I’ve tired and tried to sell him some. Maybe after this 4 degree morning I might be able to.
