    Worldpay B.S Charges

    Turns out they had mentioned the charges in an earlier statement, but I missed it as I was just looking at the charges. Guess I should read the notes too from now on. Either way, seems all my card present transactions are "risky" so my charges per month have doubled.

    Major life decision

    He's right, lots of tunnel guys there, many that own chains or several washes. Very active community too.

    IBA Price Increase?

    I dispense dollar coins. Most pay stations can do that. Only other option is if you have a bill recycler, which most don't and it can't be added after the fact.

    Major life decision

    Ben, you are in the wrong forum for what you seek. This forum is not full of operators that own several tunnel washes like you are buying. This place is a few levels down, more for the operator that does most things on his own and doesn't have several managers and maintenance people. Lot's of...

    IBA Price Increase?

    I'm at $8, 10, 13 and 16. I like your $10-$17 range. That will be my next increase, or good chance I drop the bottom at least.

    IBA Price Increase?

    You will make more money and they won't complain. Those are not large increases. Go for it!

    Re-wire SS Vac for detail shop use

    I've sold several extra vacs to detail shops/car lots and just wire a toggle switch in. No need for the timer or anything else. Straight connection to the 120v. A light is a good idea so you know it's on.

    Worldpay B.S Charges

    That would make sense, but the risk charges started 3 months before the $199 fee, and I am in compliance. I make sure my annual questionnaire is done, scans are quarterly and pass, and I attest every one. They already charge me a $14.95 Omni Shield Assure fee that I was not able to get out of...

    Worldpay B.S Charges

    For years now, I learned to d/l my cc statements as most processors are scammers will will randomly add fees. I have come across this several times with World Pay and they are by far the worst offender. Usually after hours of trying, I have luck getting the extra fees removed, but not always...

    New autocashier

    I have 2 Portal Ti's and they are great. Easy to use for the customer, instant credit card acceptance and the reporting is top notch. No monthly fees either.

    Humble pie really doesn't taste that good

    Next week here we have a low of 2 degrees with a wind chill of -10. All week the high is 20 with lows in the teens. Would kill for some 40's and 50's :)

    Beacon Mobile

    You can activate your vacs with Beacon, but have to have wiring run from the vac to the ER. Beacon does offer lots of options, but they are expensive at $400/month. With Everwash, you can include your vacs and SS bays if you have Cryptopay on them, so you can be wireless.

    notice any difference in cleaning? I'm still considering switching to a LOW PH TF, but want to finish some stock first.

    Burglary Breakin

    I agree, but partially. Every break in I have the police are worthless as they get there after the money is gone, but if you have bay doors with alarms and a siren outside, they will likely run after opening the first coin box instead of getting them all.

    New PPP

    True, and in some areas even washes had to shut down for a while, so they should qualify as well.

    New PPP

    Actually most car washes won't qualify at all for the PPP unless they can show they were down 25% in at least one quarter. Once you qualify, forgiveness is easy. Just use it on payroll and other approved items over 24 months, which any business or car wash that is still in operation will do...

    SBA Loan Forgiveness

    Only PPP can be forgiven. Not SBA loans. Only free money is PPP, EIDL advance and then first 6 months payments on certain SBA loans.
