Car Wash Reno: We spent $15,000 fixing this old system

Our 15-year-old Dilling Harris meter box doors were looking a little shabby, and getting parts is nearly impossible now. So, it was time to update to an Etowah Valley replacement.

The retrofitted new doors looks SO NICE! Nice work! And remember, it's only money... Money that keeps pouring out of your pocket and into the equipment replacement fund 😀

[@BayouBrit]

It’s a privilege to know I get to replace all this stuff 😂

[@smokey481]

Looking forward to trying out the new system!

[@devin8656]

Expert, available. Practically the same thing! With all the hard work you're putting into this wash I'd say business is bound to pick up! Also, I notice the flags over the vacuums have been replaced. Still curious who steals a flag.

[@BayouBrit]

I sure hope it will! Sadly the flags are still missing. We may end up removing the canopy and adding some floodlights instead.

What brand do you use for chemicals?

[@Rodj12341]

I noticed a fan above the door, does it still work? Might be able to help keep the equipment room cooler feeling.

[@BayouBrit]

That’s a keen eye! It does not. It’s on my list of things to fix…one day that list will get smaller!

[@eddiereichel9354]

Ya should have pulled the longest first and attached fish wire to that one for the rest of them

[@BayouBrit]

Yep! If there’s a way to do it wrong, that’s the way I’ll try first!

[@HarmonRAB-hp4nk]

ya pctech here, aint it lovely when somethings overdone so bad it breaks down? LOL

[@gersitz]

@9:50 that’s the way I did it

[@WeJustMightGetFired]

If that’s old, you don’t want to see mine. Trying so hard to upgrade my washes. Can’t get any business loans.

[@BayouBrit]

I think old rotary switch boxes can last a lifetime. But the push buttons we had were a single unit for all 12 switches which was causing us issues. Where are you located?
