I'm pretty sure you get a chargeback for $14 I've changed my preauth to 10.02 to hopefully bounce a $10 gift card. This is not what is happening in this instance though. The customer is getting services and the owner has no idea that this is happening. It is also not limited to just tap plus...

Bumping this post. A local friend brought to my attention a problem he has been having with his swipers and thinks people have figured out a vulnerability similar to what has been described by carwash mafia. He sent me a screenshot of multiple declines. You can't see the declines on cryptopay...

I tried them maybe ten years ago. Unless they've changed designs and construction I can't recommend them.

My vote is no. I’ve got one wash that is a 4/2 with better traffic and density and I did 530k last year. It’s in the south so no snow/ice. That place is pretty busy. A 3/1 doing those numbers would be slammed all day long seven days a week how much is the land, and how big is the parcel?

Same here! One time I rehabbed a wash and at each island there was a space for 2-30 gallon cans. All eight cans were full every morning. I poured the space full of concrete and left room for one 30 gallon can. Our garbage volume we had to deal with was literally cut in half overnight. Trash...

See if you can find Bob Roman on Facebook He is/was a consultant but is no longer active here. This is likely him: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100093024789206

Depending on the amount of business you get you'll need a two to four yard Dumpster on site (one dump/week) and a can at each vacuum island. My personal experience has been the bigger the cans and the more of them you have the more garbage you'll get, so don't overdo them. My high volume wash...

That site is pretty nice! I don't see any major equipment expenses except for the auto. Biggest issue would be finding a decent Coleman tech for the Efusion. But you are only 5 hours from the Coleman factory so a factory tech may be a good option. I bet 10K will get it running well and covered...

Well, I don't want to insist that you have to reload immediately but it would be on my short list of to-do items. A new IBA is 150-200K Keep your dryers, they are some of the best on the market and will save you a lot of money. If a dryer motor goes out you can replace it for $1500. If on a...

IMO You should budget for new autos. That's an old unit and was mediocre cleaner when it was brand new. I like to squeeze all the useful life out of machines but In 2006 I bought a wash that had two of those that were only five years old and due to their poor performance and continued...

I've got a friend in low income areas and he hasn't broken 40% At one wash in middle income area I'm 77% At another wash in upper income areas I'm 84% It seems to me the most resistant people to use credit cards are old folks and non native Americans. Old folks have been conditioned to be...

Just some suggestions here Check the home and end of track proxes- doubtful this is the problem but if the home prox sticks on I think it will pop this error. Temporarily change the slow speed on your VFD to 70 and run a wheel test at the faster speed to see if it still passes the test...

In addition to calculating cleaning chemistry costs you probably need to check the water and sewer cost per car. I'd use 75 gallons as a rough estimate. My cost is 2.6 cents per gallon so I'm using approximately 2.00 water/sewer per car. This is probably double what my friction unit uses. I also...

I see check valves in this picture to the side, but the main subject in your photo looks a lot like a dema 203 injector. Is there a side chemical inlet out of view? Is it this foam generator? https://www.kleen-ritecorp.com/p-13173-dema-93-27-foam-generator.aspx

Just the presoak chemical costs of a touch free can retail at $1 for two passes of product. Some areas can get by with much less costs but you see few people that do it for less than .50 per car. It's costly but can work with a base wash price of $8-$10 commonly seen these days, The long term...

Victims should ask the police officer what next steps should be taken after they file a report for a crime (if they can ID the suspect). You may find out that essentially nothing will be done if you don't take the initiative yourself. In most jurisdictions in my State the police will take a...

Jimmy can you share where this wash is located yet? If you’re in a good area and there are no signs of previous vandalism I wouldn’t bother upgrading the meter doors. It is a vulnerable spot however so I would frequently clean out the bills from the doors and install vibration sensors from...

He has an E fusion which is three brush friction machine with high pressure. The brushes have tilt cylinders so to get the best possible car it needs two brush passes. The brushes overlap on the front and rear of the vehicle so no skunk stripe. Fusion X is true combo machine, essentially a...

It as well as the vacuum hose can scuff the paint a bit. I keep a bottle of polish and some clean microfiber towels on hand for issues like this.
