Car Wash Malfunction

- [Recorded October 2012] With the number of requests I've gotten to revisit this wash, I thought just showing up and doing another ride-through would be a great video. However, by leaving the tailgate down on his truck, the driver in front of me really made things interesting by bringing the machine to a halt and causing it to finish the entire wash cycle without moving. I'm extremely excited that I caught this on camera, and I hope you all enjoy the whole thing as much as I did!
I still go through the wash at the end.
The machine featured in this video is a PDQ Tandem. Follow me on:

Have worked on carwashes for 10 years, tailgates and open trashed beds are a nemesis of mine
Notice at 3:39 the machine said, "This transaction has been cancelled" after it said, "The wash is currently busy. Please wait."
it actually said "broken"
@@chaoszombie9995 the machine said more than 1 word when it broke
He had his tailgate down in his pickup truck that why the wash system like this cause it to shut down
I was laughing when the system broke because it was hilarious when he left the bed down. Oof
His tailgate was down that caused the car wash to shut down
Already know lol

There are a few Tandem machines around here in South Florida. None of them have lasted all that long because they are very prone to damage from people not using them correctly - most have been replaced with Laserwash or ANCIENT partly refurbished Ryko machines (they work about as well as you'd imagine)
I've never seen one with a high pressure overhead sweep. That's kinda cool.
+Tom Morris I believe all should do that if it is a truck.
SPOILER ALERT
The Malfunction Problem: The dude’s tailgate was opened, then got jammed on the tailgate.
plus he had a trailer hitch on it which really needs to have the carwash to say no trailer hitches while using the wash
You always have to leave your tailgate up on your truck and your hitch needs to me removed
@@noahharris2260 that's something that the driver in front of jacob or the elevator channel didn't know there r no signs stating that
@@NicholasNormand well in a touchless automatic on the laser wash m5 and 360 if the arm bumps a tailgate a trailer hitch or a bike rack it has a green light the lights up and tells it to go back a little bit the first time the second time it shuts down
You cant use these with the tailgate down. Common sense says empty all debris from your truck bed before entering. These places are not a trash dump.
he didn't close the tail gate
Same
If I saw the tailgate down I woulda got out and put his tailgate up
@@chaoszombie9995that’s why the side brush stopped because his tailgate was not up usually on the pdq touchless or soft touch on the systems hits something on a vehicle it usually shuts down and also drive forward in the dryers come on and sometimes these machines don’t automatically go back to the home position after it shuts off I’ve had the same problem
i am also surprised that it didn't attempt to move back. The gas station I work at has a laserwash 360 and if it hits the vehicle, it moves away from the vehicle and tries again at a farther away distance.
Car wash experiences I've had: 1) accidentally drove through one once 2). I was in one once and the power went out.
That sounds scary
As it told him to pull out, the Access Machine said: "This transaction has been canceled."
Maybe the guy was lifting a bunch of stuff off at home, he probably forgot to lift up his tailgate and left it down in the car wash by accident.
He might’ve forgot all about it
I always love "ride along videos". It's just kind of interesting to see what happens.
The car wash currently closed please come again 😊
Pdq is like “I’am not feeling it “ 2:09
あかたま
At 3:39, The PDQ Tandem said, "This transaction has been cancelled."
Kristin Crodian I heard that too.
8:59
3:39 yeah she shut down the system
PDQ tandems are actually designed to wash all vehicles including dual rear-wheel or dually trucks. The problem lies in people modifying all the time that can give the tandem problems. (Light bars,brush guards, bug shields,etc)
The problem is you can’t have your tailgate down on your pickup truck the side brush can make it stop when it hits it and shuts down
Guy in front of you should have never left his truck bed open.
Same!!!!!!!!
Pinchie08 I think p
Pinchie08 absolutely
Bed?! You mean Trunk
Lina Omari no that’s a truck bed trunks are in cars not trucks
As a wash attendant for a tandom there a piece of work to reset. And to all truck owners put up your tailgate automatic washes dont work with them down tuch or tuchless.
Yeah friend I'll agree with your comment. He should have never left his truck bed open. That's why the brush can go around the corner. It got stuck in the bed sticking out the door. I go through a car wash freeway car wash but the towel dry the car before you leave where it went through. I like it like that. I think it's better that the machine I'm seeing here have people like to do their car their way they got the right tube. Not a problem. Thank you.
This station and PDQ should run a diagnostics check on this wash very often, so that it wouldn't fall apart.
I like the Tandem Touch but i do agree that this unit does not care for trucks. We have one in the El Centro CA area and i can tell that the owners don't care for it and that the "natives" are rough with the unit.
When the tire brushes came out it was halarious
i went here a year ago and the brush was still broken xD
Spot-free wash/rinse is with a good RO (reverse osmosis) system. My buddy works for a national car wash company and they use rock salt filter system. Also a chemical is used as a drying agent added to the final rinse to help the water bead up.
Need to upload more car wash videos
You're so fascinating to listen to!!
BAHAHAHA
Why's Will Ferrell running a car wash?
Reference to voice at 6:40
Loll
iN00bT00ber that manager did sound like Will Ferrell.
Windows cannot find carwash.exe. It may have been renamed or deleted.
Omg! So true!
Chaos Zombie999 gg g
Interesting wash. PDQ has some awesome equipment.
Great video as well.
6:55 what caused it to stop was is he had his tailgate down on his truck that’s why he didn’t have it up
If there was no sign to keep the tailgate up, then he can't be faulted, but stupidity still shows here. He could pull out, and drain it there.
There is a sign telling you to leave the tailgate up on your pickup truck
Windows cannot find carwash.exe. It may have been renamed or deleted.
believe it or not, some of the pdq washes do run windows, and do require periodic reboots
hyvahyva when the dryer started up did it say, forward,,, forward,,, forward,,, forward? Etc.??
@@hyvahyva interested I did not know that thanks for telling us
Hi chat
@@ArisBuliteanu Yes. The actual drive sign talks. I cannot remember exactly what the prompts are, but one is “Slowly, Slowly, Slowly” as you get into the bay. If you pull too far into the back it’ll say “Back up! Back up! Back up!” followed by a siren noise.
The car wash did a self checkie self checkie
The Car Wash Is Currently Closed Please Come Again
Had the car in front of me screw up a laserwash a few months back. It was during cooler weather and it had automatic doors. The doors' code hasn't been perfected yet and the exit door opened before the wash was finished (which I think is supposed to happen so the dryers work better). The only problem was the person pulled out of the bay before the dryer was done. Took it 5 minutes to realize there was no car in it and it reset itself.
On the laser wash m5 360 or 360 plus sometimes they don’t always go back to the home position plus I had the same problem after I payed and when I was in it someone’s car in front of me when I was waiting the manager code me through and I had the same problem when I was in it on the pro touch tandem if you leave your tailgate down on your pick up truck, the side brush will not be able to go across. That’s why it will shut down on the laser-wash m5 360 and 360 plus at the arm hit something on a vehicle the first time it resets it and goes out more if it hits the second time, then it shuts down then it will tell you the drive forward with soap on your car and the dryers will come on
PDQTandemRiteTouch.exe has stopped working.
2:10 carwash controller: carwash.exe has stopped working
8:55 the brush thing was spraying bug prep on your car to kill any annoying bugs. PDQ calls it bug prep in ads, anyway. Laserwashes do the same bug prep before presoak.
Your not suppose to leave tailgates down or mirrors extended out, hitches in place in the car wash, this is a prime example of that. The machine didn't estimate the tailgate probably because it was out of sight of the sensors. Tailgate caught it and the machine shut down. Better the machine stop then rip the guy's tailgate off and/ or break the machine, those brushes are very powerful.
I know on the pdq tandem soft touch you have to leave the tailgate up on your pickup truck
As of August 2024 this PDQ tandem has been replaced with a Laserwash 360
PDQ_Tandem.exe has stopped working.
This was the first vid I watched on your channel
the lesson from this video: never leave the door of a truck’s cargo hold open in a brush car wash
Tandem: time to brush this dirty car.
Truck: *puts back down*
Tandem: oh no!
Tandem: *shuts off*
6:26 the problem was not the hitch it was his tailgate that was down on his pickup truck because that was the problem you can’t go through a soft touch pro touch tandem with any bicycle rack or a basket rack or anything like a big ladder on a rack in your truck because the side brushes or the top brush will get hung up now a touch less car wash with the laser wash m5 360 or 360 plus if it hits anything like a pickup truck tailgate that is down it resets it and goes out more what it hit behind the vehicle
Hey The Elevator Channel!
Did you know that over here in Australia we have the WashWorld Lazer systems.
I also looked at the payment systems for a PDQ Tandem,
The use a Windows CE 6.0 based PC with a ARM based processor which means that it is quite easy to hack through a WiFI connection if the payment system is not setup correctly.
Just wanted to give you this tidbit of info.
Ooooooo
O dam son
Lol i like your name
0:45 HOLY SHIT GTA ONLINE IN REAL LIFE
3:37 the wash shut down on the pickup truck that had the tailgate down and sometimes the pdq wash system if it shuts down sometimes they don’t go back to the home position
This problem SHOULD be fixed on PDQ'S new Surfline! But I still love Regular Tandem More!
Same, and I recently found a Tandem and 360 near me in Tupelo, I don’t think I’ll visit it anytime soon, but still cool that I found two of the modern systems made by pdq
Also I just found out it was actually a Tandem RiteTouch
I have had a lot of things happen at washes I service, One man took his fathers brand new truck through with a wheel chair rack attached to the back and then got peeved when the machine ripped it off the back. Even though its posted not to go in with anything in the tow receiver of the vehicle. Some how its the wash owners fault for his stupidity. Loose items in pick up beds is another good one, they blow around when under the dryer and can crack windows. I've seen ratchet straps get hooked by the top brushes and lift a truck off the ground.
Every time you leave your tailgate down in your pick up truck going through a car wash it will shut down the machine
9:24 I whould have been so scared!!!
Ganz the good cat why
I heard the PDQ say your transaction has been cancelled
+Thehaters 205 when?
+Michael Anaya it said it at the 3:53 mark.
Thehaters 205 oh. thanks.
+Michael Anaya np
+Thehaters 205 i didn't hear it say one word.
It hit the door to his truck bed. Since it was down the machine thought it was a foreign object and that’s why it stopped.
I wonder what his consequences would’ve been.....
The tailgate was down
7:21 at least he had his tailgate up when he pulled in the car wash now it will not shut down
LOL THAT BRUSH GOT STUCK ON THE THAT BACK TRUCK DOOR!!!!! 2:10
His tailgate was down
this video was a lot of fun to watch
I knew something would fail with those robotic stopped-car washing equipment and now I see what.
If it wouldn't have stopped it could've damaged his truck and the wash. If it wouldn't of stopped, the owners would have to pay potential thousands of dollars in damages, while the man in the truck would have to pay for damage on his truck if it did damage his truck. That sensor just saved thousands of dollars by preventing a full collision
@@mnsirens yeah. Safety switches are requred for this type of semi-dangerous machinery
That was very interesting to see. I guess I am going to have to film some of the many washes here in Jonesboro.
We get PDQ in New Zealand. My local caltex has a new laser-wash 360.
The flash dry was a fail. No system should put RAIN-X on after drying.
well the machine did a flash dry then the rain-x then a dry pass
Ha ha, interesting. Have you considered more road trip videos? I find those very entertaining for some reason.
6:55 Nice iPod you got there!
You are Freaking patient I would of asked for my money back and left!
Well the manager code him through and the same thing with the guy in the pickup truck
The tailgate needs to say up when he is in the car wash
Yes that is the problem going through the pdq pro touch tandem with the brushes if you have a pickup truck you have to leave your tailgate up
PDQ Tandems are EXTREMELY RARE in Pennsylvania.
What's ur Car?
This was a 2000 Toyota Avalon XLS. He doesn't have it anymore, now he has a 2009 Toyota Avalon Limited. Both of the belonged to his mom originally, and they were both handed down to him. The 2000 was sold to TH-cam user DieselDucy.
Can someone tell why this is a popular video? All it shows is him going through the car wash and the machine stopping because of the open tailgate on the truck. I'm pretty sure that it stop because the automatic car washes have sensors that usually size up your vehicle before it starts washing so your vehicle can get the proper wash. It probably saw the flaw of the tailgate being down and quit so it wouldn't wreck the vehicle. The automatic car wash I use will go over my car twice before anything start then the bars on the side and above the car will adjust to my vehicle and then it starts the wash.
Well I suppose because it broke and when he left it was still stuck there and everyone is wondering why i guess
Did they install locomotive horns on those emergency vehicles?
If that doesn’t get your attention I don’t know what will.
The directions tell you to leave you tailgate up in your truck going through a pro touch tandem
The car wash is now currently broke and closed and please try again later and come again
"...this was my most exciting carwash the first time I came through here, and I think it's keeping that tradition up."
Ya'll REALLY need something better to do in Missouri.
The tandem is falling apart.
I wish they had a pdq tandem in Sothern California.
Jake Kelliher The most Common places to find Automatic Carwashes, especially in Bays, are in the Midwest. It's too cold to wash your car yourself outside, which leads to the Dilemma of Salt eating away at the Undercarriage. Lines can be HOURS Long up here during the Winter. Most machines up here are absolute MAMMOTHS. They are Enormous and Advanced pieces of Machinery to make sure Consumers will keep coming back. ProTouch Tandems, ProTouch Icons, Laserwash 360's, and many other Modern Systems are very Common here
also when i was a kid i was afraid of brush carwashes because i thought only they had the blow dryers (which scare me by their noise) and the other carwash didn't have blow dryers
now i'm not afraid of brush carwashes
looks like the washer got stuck on that tailgate.
i would say no because ryko system uses hydraulics to push the brushes back and since they don't move across by using a chain to guide it, the force is not applied to the bush. but the bushes would probably bang against it and since the system tells the brushes once the car wash finds the back they they go further and even if the brushes hit the tail gate it would just continue to move back and go around the tale gate,
It's typical over here:
The bigger the vehicle, the smaller the brain of it's driver.
georgef551 Truer words were never spoken.
Same
damn I have a subcompact, I must be a genius! LOL!
3:37 tells him to pull out
If u have a sun roof u need to have it on low settings or it might leak
With Touchless, But they suck with friction. their touchless systems are amazing exept for the G5-S, you have to call for maintainence every time the power goes out... thats why they arent very popular in florida because we have lightning ALOT and and that causes power outages
TRAFFIC JAM OVER THERE WE WORKING THERE VERY DANGEROUS
I seen a PDQ Tandem fail with the scrubbers. It was probably due to someone not following the rules.
His tailgate was down
You must have probably grown up in Jefferson city MO
Those washes are the worst for your cars finish
Your channel icon is chucky awesome!!
Not the modern ones with soft foam brushes.
car washes scare the freak out of me
I was with my mom in a car wash when it malfunctioned and left soap on half of our car
Your mom should have made you get out and get a shower. You underarms are kind of stinky. Just sayin'...
I’ve had a problem like this with soap on the whole car and without on the newer laser wash systems they can cause problems like this there could be a part in the machine going bad or if it hits something on a vehicle twice it shuts down the first time it resets what hits behind the vehicle and moves out more
Never leave a truck's bed door open that's how the car wash brush got stuck
3:50 ALLIED WASTE DUMPSTER!!!!!
So?
Me and my friends would've taken a 2008 Scion xb to that PDQ tandem car wash that is malfunctioning and falling apart and that guy and his truck were in that car wash and the side bursh got stuck by the back of his truck and i'm sorry about that and one of it's car wash parts is gapped up at the top someone drove right into there and also know that this car wash does not like washing tall vehicles that i know of.
I want to start doing car wash videos.
wow.. Ive actually seen that happen twice before around where I live here. but still quite something to see thou
this car wash must now be a express tunnel
This guy makes a carwash sound like torture.😫
Cuando no puedes dormir te pones a ver estos vídeos xd
I would honk my horn and warn him that his tailgate is down
It was most likely on purpose
@@EdPMur he left his tailgate down that caused the side brush to stop and shut down it was supposed to be up
@@EdPMurhe may of forgot about it
Cool Video! Thanks!
Did the system reset after your turn or during your wash cause you should have taken a license plate pic for the people who own that place make the guy pay for breaking a carwash
It didn't break. It shut down for safety purposes. Then it did a self-test after the truck guy pulled out.
Sometimes these pdq systems the newer ones on the pro touch tandem the laser wash m5 360 and 360 plus after the wash shuts down it says the car wash is closed on the payment machine sometimes it resets it and sometimes these systems reset and go back to the home position but not always
@@noahharris2260 oh ok I see
@@justin_wayne_elrod_jrod on the laser wash m5 the 360 and the 360 plus if the spray arm hits something behind the vehicle it resets and moves out more what hits if it hits it twice then it shuts down I don’t know about the laser wash g5 on the laser wash 4000 if the arm hits something on a vehicle it shuts off amazingly the the newer laser wash systems when the machine starts in the front and moves its way to the back. It’s gotta a sensor that reads that stuff and it doesn’t know how long the vehicle is it’s trying to figure out the measurement of how long it is on the vehicle I’ve only been through a laser wash m5 360 and 360 plus
Congrats!
I wonder why it keeps telling you to wait?
I wouldn't call that a malfunction I would call that user error or driver. It's automated there's no one there to push a retract button on the brushes. I want to say it's common sense not to open your truck bed and a soft touch car wash but since I work at one it doesn't surprise me at all.
The Brush got stuck in the back on the truck. There’s only one brush in there
That is 1 heck of a car wash c:
You have one nice car its very clean.
