Most of the big names make good stuff. Distributor support is critical, moreso for a rookie. What brands are within a reasonable distance? Remember, you will have to pay for driving time when you need them. One friction and one touchless would be what I would install if it were me.

Hello Oilersrule. Welcome to the business. Now, be very careful. You are a prime target for an equipment salesman. You've done the right thing by finding this place. Try to get prices from three different vendors. Remember, they are going to promise you everything. Keep good notes. Make sure that everything they agreed to do is in the sales contract. Get plenty of referenced from them. Talk to their existing customers. Service after the sale can be critical. Stuff happens with all manufacturers. They should be relatively close for prompt service. I've seen sales people give the machines away at cost just to get the sale, and then have no money for warranty work. Try to be as much hands on as you can be. it will save you a lot. Ask them if they can train you to do the preventative maintenance. Ask if they can provide service for the other equipment at the wash. And please, don't try to beat the guy up on price. He needs to make a decent living as well. Keep us informed of your efforts. And if you're in Florida, please give me a shot at the deal. Good luck.
