On the way to the carwash convention we got a call regarding the breakin of our carwash! Three guys pulled up in front of the door to block the vision from the street, Tried several sets of keys but none worked so they kicked in the door,* Stole all the loose change and rummaged through...

Just wondering if anyone here uses the high def. camera systems? Did not find much on these systems on the search function. I know they are more expensive but I think they may be worth it. I think fewer cameras could be used and have the ability to zoom in for any activities that needs to be...

I had a lady call me Friday saying my D&S Odyssey quit while she was washing her car. Got there and she was driving a smart car (read small car) and it quit for no obvious reason. Ran her through and the wash worked until it got to the front of the car and shut down again with a fault of Car...

I'm looking for a good brand of tip protectors, tried several different ones that I am not completely happy with. Just wondering what kind other operators are having good luck with. Thanks for any info or thoughts you might have.

I never thought I would want an AR-15 type rifle until lately, but, I just bought myself one. I have tried to justify it to my wife and myself in so many ways until I just have to admit now that I WANTED IT! I love to shoot and this is the most fun rifle to shoot I've ever had. Even though ammo...

Went to wash and found r/o system was discharging mainly reject water and very little spotfree water. Pump discharge was only about 60# of pressure. We figured membrane had failed so ordered new membrane and installed. Worked good for about a week and then had another failure. By this time we...

Its hard to believe how stupid some thieves are! Last night someone knocked every lock out of the coin acceptors. It never dawned on them that the money dropped into a safe so they kept on destroying locks thinking that maybe they would eventually hit the jackpot. They got nothing or next to...

Water softener swarmed while we were at the show in Vegas. The medium escaped & filled just about everything that uses water. The filters on the hp pumps filled up & was starving the pumps, many of the solenoid valves were plugged, etc. You get the picture! My question is----Would you try to...

We have tossed around the ideal of a s/s pet wash but never really got serious about one, always figured the income would be marginal at best. We kind of stumbled into a K9000 for sale & bought it. Looks like a good unit although I am that the pump delivery system for chemicals may be a weak...

Hamilton auto-cashier with credit card acceptance seems to be a magnet for people to stuff coins into. It's happened numerous times but this time they fried it. It seems to be completely dead. New one is costing me close to $300. Just wondering if this has this happened to anyone else.

Lady went through our soft touch auto in a Ford Expedition with a 2' x 6' carrier attached to her receiver hitch. Needless to say things went South very quickly. The drivers side rear arm got caught between her suv & the carrier & stopped the wash. She got out, looked at it & tried to move it...

I know I read a thread regarding people stealing time by rubbing a magnet across the face plate but after searching I cannot find it. I found out today it is happening at one of our carwashes. Does anyone know of a search term that will work or have a comment on this. All help is appreciated...

THE GOOD... We are in Southeast Texas & have had a fantastic lovebug season. Cars have been lined up three deep at the s/s bays, the automatics have hardly shut down and not too many breakdowns. Smiling all the way to the bank! THE BAD... Had to shut down because of Hurricane Gustaf last...

I heard on Fox News's Geraldo show Sunday night from a female judge that a woman sprayed her child with 12,000 psi of pressure at a car wash!!! Geraldo's reply talked about how terrible & dangerous it was. He further said the high pressure hose is used to blast bugs from the windshield, not...
