Vacuums:
We have four high-powered, industrial strength vacuums for your cleaning convenience! The two BLUE TOP vacs will accept Tokens as well as quarters! These vacs will count down your time and give an audible beep (just like in the bays) when you have a minute left. At this time, you can decide whether you need more time and can add a quarter or two to finish your job! Once the time goes to zero, you must put another dollar in to start it up again. The two older vacs still have phenomenal suction! They work more simply and have no warning beep. Quarters must go in one at a time,please, to prevent jams.
These vacs are powerful, and will work very well when used appropriately. Many plugged up hoses are caused by vacuuming loads of hay, paper plates, pens, pencils, crayons, large bottle caps, etc. These are NOT WET VACS. When fluids are vacuumed in the winter...well, the inevitable happens. The filters inside, the hose and the dirt in the bottom turn to huge ice chunks and make for unnecessarily diminished suction for you and others.
Please note: No Canadian Quarters are accepted in any machine on the premises! Please let an attendant know if your machine is jammed, or call us and we will fix the problem as quickly as possible and make every effort to return your money.

Bay meters:
Inside the bays, the meter box is the heart of the operation. Take the time to read the menu sign, to acclimate yourself if you are a new customer. It will save you time and frustration. It's easy to operate, and does work very well. There has been some confusion on its workings...let us help. We have become a very icon oriented society, but these pictures are not buttons. There are arrows from the picture of the product you want to the corresponding number or symbol.
(I agree....there should be a better keypad in the middle......) However, the left & right sides work the same. Use 1 or 3 to choose soap. The same holds true for all products..there are 2 positions you can choose for the same product. Whichever is more comfortable for you, use the left or right side. No...position 5 & 8 do not have a function, other than making the rectangle solid!
Takes Tokens and Quarters!

Change Machine
This machine accepts $1 $5 & $10 bills. The change machine is on the "working" side of the car wash. You will find it to the right of the blue equipment room door. There is only one way it will accept bills. The bill must be face up, green seal(dot) first. It will reject damaged, incorrectly placed or counterfeit bills. Rarely, a damaged bill will get caught in the transport and we need to know about it, to remove it.
At this time, only quarters are dispensed for each bill. We will soon be mixing tokens and quarters for the larger bills. Tokens are easier to use because they condense the amount of coins in hand. They are accepted in both the blue top vacs & all three bays. They are not, however, accepted in the vending machines nor at any other car wash. By the same token.....other tokens won't work here!

Bays
Normal entrance is executed from the rear of the building. This is to facilitate an easy exit. In the winter, the front doors are locked in the closed position so as to prevent the wind tunnel effect. This produces a "backing out" exit. We all make sure we leave the customer before us, plenty of room to do so.
The bays have instructional signs for those of you who are unfamiliar. If you need any help at all, be it with the machinery and it's workings or need help washing your vehicle, please call us!! We are happy to wash your vehicle for you! Please contact us. We want your experience to be pleasant and productive.
These machines accept U.S. quarters and TOKENS. There are high pressure spray wands and foam brushes available. The machine starts with $2.50. At any time in the cycle you may deposit more money for more time and switch between products. After 3 minutes, you will hear a warning beep. At this time you now have one minute left on your time. Should you need more time, deposit more quarters before the timer goes down to zero, otherwise you have to start all over.

Wand
To utilize the wand to it's fullest potential, don't forget to pull the "trigger". You will be pleased to find these machines have excellent pressure! From the wand, you'll get excellent film-cutting soap, wax and clear, clean rinse water. There are two "flexi-wands" with a blue rubber section. These are bendable for ease in rinsing under your wheel wells and other hard to reach places the rigid wand may not have enabled you to clean properly. Please replace wand in holder when finished. TIP: Rinsing vehicle prior to foam brush use is recommendedto help prevent scratching your finish.

Foam Brushes
Our foam brushes are available year 'round!
 This is especially important when removing winter road film and salt from your vehicle. We employ an environmentally friendly, vehicle friendly, water "weeping" system to keep our brushes (and wands) from freezing in colder weather. When being utilized, it takes approximately 10-15 seconds for the water to flush out and foam suds to be visible. Push the appropriate button to change the flow of water from the wand to the foam brush, and get lush, pink, cherry foam suds from the foam brush. No chemicals to be concerned about! Please replace brush in holder when finished. TIP: Use brushes safely: rinse off before use.
