Where can I get new meter door decals?
STA is 4-5 weeks out

Try a local sign shop

I had my local sign shop make some new decals for me. I used a heavy duty commercial grade blue vinyl that is plain. after stripping the old decal completely off and getting the door down to bare metal, I applied the plain blue decal. Then I had separate smaller decals made in the same color for deposit coins here, five dollars to start, and coin return. Then I used the decal from Kleen Rite that is designed to go around the 10 position rotary switch And then the little round stickers for the functions. I think the result is pretty good.

This is the newest one that was just built about 2 miles from me….
Sorry for the confusion but my ask for advice was mainly for the SS side of things.

That is not a valid comp. Tunnel wash vs in bay automatic are entirely different animals and customer bases. Speaking from 25 years of car wash ownership of multiple locations.
You should listen to the advice these guys are giving you, they know what they are talking about.

I appreciate the feedback. My plan is to get the self service bays going and then concentrate on rehabbing the auto wash
