    Help with weird Rowe Changer issue.

    I'll take it apart and inspect/lube to be sure. What's the best lube to use?

    Help with weird Rowe Changer issue.

    Well, I went in this afternoon to test and work on the changer, but put in the first $1 and it worked. Tested a few more bills and all worked. No idea what changed. Guess I'll have to wait for it to act up again lol.

    Damaged wash

    I've had the same thing happen and their insurance paid for all the damages. Go ahead and get a quote ready. I also had it just happen again 3 weeks ago, but I wasn't able to get the plate with my camera since he had a bike rack on the back. I have the video and the guys name, I'm waiting to...

    Help with weird Rowe Changer issue.

    In 7 years the only issues I've had are replacing the laser that detects the coins once on each hopper side and having to clean the hopper track 3-4 times over all those years. Been bulletproof otherwise. That's with Mars acceptors. 1st 3 months using the old Rowe acceptors I had issues daily.

    Some things I learned the first year operating a car wash

    Happened too many times to count lol. Think I have a couple on video. 2 weeks ago a guy drove over 2 cones, both the entrance and exit cone and had no idea.

    Help with weird Rowe Changer issue.

    Guess I could try to lube the flapper. Didn't even know that's how it worked lol. I'm guessing the flapper is easy to find? I converted to Mars using a kit I bought on eBay years ago. Forgot the name of the vending company. It's not the EV method that removes the buckets. There is a...

    Help with weird Rowe Changer issue.

    By motor running I guess I mean you hear what sounds like the money going to the hopper, but nothing drops. I didn't count when I put in a $5, so maybe the money from the $1's is going there. It's a Rowe 2800, the 2 side by side model. I am using a Mars validator. If I find that the $1...

    Help with weird Rowe Changer issue.

    I got a complaint that one of my Rowe changers would take $ and not dispense quarters. My attendant said he put in 4 separate $1 bills and it did the same each time. Took the money and not quarters given. I found it odd as it should have shut down after the first bill. I just tested it and...

    Foam brush heads

    You set how much product is dispensed in your ER. The brush head won't have an effect on how much you put out.

    Lockset recommendations

    I put in ASSA locks as well for the handle and deadbolt. Been very happy so far. They are super expensive though. I also welded a plate over the opening between the door and frame.

    Super high merchant rate: Cryptopay on vacs and vending

    I would imagine they mean cash is for example $3 for 5 min and cc is $3.25 for 5 min.

    Super high merchant rate: Cryptopay on vacs and vending

    CC fees are insane, but worth it. I offset by giving less time per .25 on cc than on cash. No one has ever complained or even noticed. CC customers generally spend way more and many wouldn't even come to wash if I didn't accept cc.

    Pet Peeve: Crime --

    I do have video, but it's within the past 7 days so too much to watch. It's been super slow and rained 3 days straight, so I didn't mess with it for a few days. Changer doesn't shut down either, so no indication of the bill till I find it when sorting. I have not been keeping track of how...

    Pet Peeve: Crime --

    Look what I found today.... 3rd time in a month. I don't think they are getting anything, but confused about the repeated attempts. Tape seems to match the 1st two attempts, but much longer this time. Maybe they were trying longer tape to see if it would work? Should I worry about it ever...

    Super high merchant rate: Cryptopay on vacs and vending

    It used to be First Data only when they first started. Then they switched to Worldpay only. When I added my second location, they let me go with First Data for it since I already had one account with them. My understanding is that all new accounts have to go with Worldpay.

    IBA doors opening for no reason?

    Wonder is anyone can explain this... 3 times in the past two day when the entrance door to my soft gloss opens to let a customer in, the exit door of my TF opens as well... How would that happen? It's random and only sometimes.

    Super high merchant rate: Cryptopay on vacs and vending

    Check for one time fees, those probably made it so high. Like compliance fees etc.

    Foam brush heads

    Would be nice if I hadn't just bought a case of the expensive brushes. I guess next time. Or maybe I will send these back.
